We were lucky with the weather when we were there, so were able to enjoy the garden seating area and the wonderful grounds. The only thing we had to watch (aside from the escaped Highland cow on the drive one day!) was that the estate is shooting estate, there were lots of young pheasant wandering around, so just needed to be careful with our dog. Not too much within walking distance but Dumfries and Castle Douglas an easy drive for supermarkets etc. and there are small shops/newsagents in nearby villages, but it was perfect for what we wanted for the long weekend we were there.

The Cottage was really lovely the location was fantastic. Cannot fault the Cottage with regards to comfort or location. However, it was not as clean as other properties we have rented, there were stains on the cushions and crumbs in the kitchen cupboards. The kitchen could do with the addition of a few more basics, a set of scales, more mugs etc. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo ##### Debbie This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claire Aug 13, 2020 #### Lovely, comfortable cottage in an absolutely beautiful setting! The cottage had everything you could Lovely, comfortable cottage in an absolutely beautiful setting! The cottage had everything you could possibly need and was very comfortable. It is slightly islolated (which is exactly what we wanted) and the surrounding area is beautiful. Lots of days out to surrounding places and a day spent by the fire, reading and relaxing. Someone else stayed in the cottage next door... but we didn’t see them and it was private. Would definitely recommend ( pictures don’t do it justice).

Great cottage, roomy with very comfortable beds. Really beautiful location and the owner/caretaker was lovely. Only negative is that there could have been a few more mugs and coat hangers would have been useful. That is being picky though. ##### Jackie This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate Apr 15, 2019 #### Best place ever. Best place ever.
