The cottage itself is lovely , really like a home away from home . From the moment I booked this cottage the owners have always stayed in touch and made sure we had all of our questions answered ! The cottage provides all the facilities you need , when arriving you receive a small welcome basket and a handwritten note ! i would say it is one of the best places I have ever stayed at . The cleanliness is at no fault. will deffo be back !! Thankyou for a lovely stay

The only thing is i wish we had more time to stay as a 15 minute drive in the other direction is a town called Wigtown, famous for its book shops. Hopefully we ll come back and have a visit to it.

Great location to local shops and to explore the forests, around 15 minutes drive to the start of the entrances, we fed deers and goats in the forest and had really lovely walks. The house was clean with good decor and smelt amazing! Right behind the house is a park which our daughter loved. We would recommend No 4 restaurant and the cree Inn both just round the corner both very nice food.

looks like it is very dog friendly, I am not really an animal lover.

What a charming old gate lodge, perfectly located in a beautiful village in a lovely area of the Galloway Hills. Lots of attention to detail with welcome notes and treats on arrival. Easy to find with detailed instructions on how to find the property and how things worked. Very clean and tidy, great effort made to keep you warm with heaters and blankets (although not needed as weather was actually gorgeous!) and other games and records if its wet. And the TV options, wow, every TV series or film you can think of from every streaming platform going. What a find! Will definitely stay again.

Kitchen was very small which made food prep challenging. Kitchen tap broken therefore water pressure very poor. Which rendered cleaning up difficult.

Very dog friendly with lots of extras included for the dogs such as beds, blankets, treats and toys. Garden is beautiful and clearly very well maintained. Extremely comfortable beds and having an open fire in the master bedroom ensured a cosy sleep. Huge fridge freezer to store plenty supplies. Location is perfect for access to town, dark sky zones and beautiful walks.

There was a bit of a doggy whiff. Some old washing was left in the washer. The flat TV at a right angle to the settee.

A good base for local sights. The TV accessibility.
