We had a fantastic time at burnfoot of cluden what an amazing property and great location. We loved the aga cooking - need to get one now - and the house was home from home. A few issues: Each guest was only allocated one towel per person mon-friday. Considering we had to be out by 10.00am for a 'deep clean' there were a million spiders and cobwebs and balloons left from the previous guests. Apart from that, we loved it and WILL be returning! thank you to Christine who was really lovely and welcoming Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo ##### Karen ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma G.

The house is in a fantastic location, surrounded by fields and the river a lovely back drop. It was only a short drive from Dumfries to stock up at supermarkets. The house itself is very large and a great location for large groups of people. My favourite room was the kitchen with the warm aga and large table. Some rooms in the house were quite tired looking and could do with some TLC. ##### SIOBHAN This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent May 29, 2019 #### A A fantastic break in a lovely home with everything we needed!

Lovely house with great accommodation over three floors. Really well equipped with everything a big group could need. Beautifully clean and tidy. We loved the garden, the kids had great fun on the swings, playing on the grass and we all enjoyed the path along the river. We also loved the butterflies in the walled garden. Great activities nearby, too many to fit into one week! We loved Cream O Galloway, Caeverlock Castle and Dunscone. ##### Maggie This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Derek Apr 25, 2018 #### spacious and well maintained. spacious and well maintained. good views over the river with plenty of wildlife. ##### Derek
