• "Fabulous little cottage, small but had everything we needed for an cosy, comfortable, relaxed week away."

  Nice secure garden which Charlie, our Cocker Spaniel loved. Lots of independent shops in Thornhill. Great location for exploring the Solway coast and the Southern Uplands, or further afield to Ayr, and a wander along tge Esplanade. Lovely walks by the banks of the River Nith

• "Small but perfectly formed!"

  This was SO much better than we had anticipated from the photos! A really comfortable and well-stocked holiday home. The owners had thought of everything; the kitchen had everything we needed, bed was comfy, shower was good, and a lovely welcome package. I couldn't recommend more! Thank you so much for our stay!

  Thank you very much for your kind comments. Yes, the Sykes website still has the original photos. We are hoping to replace these over the next few months to truly reflect the current interior. Property Owner

Keith and his wife were superb hosts, we will be returning next year fingers crossed for some more travelling around the area and seeing some bits we missed. Thank you very much indeed!!

• "Absolutely beautiful little cottage."

  Comfortable and cosy, with everything you could possibly need. A wonderful welcome pack for us and our small dog. We are new to this type of holiday, having been motorhomers for many years. This is our 4th experience of holiday lets and the very best so far. We have not done South West Scotland very much in the past, we used to mostly tour the highlands and islands in our motorhome, but the Dumfries and Galloway area is beautiful. Highly recommend the Chinese takeaway and the fish and chip shop in Thornhill. I wish we lived nearer to Troloss, we would be there more often, but it's a bit of a trek from South Cheshire! Keith is a lovely friendly and informative man. Highly recommend Troloss Lodge. Enid and David.

  Thank you for your kind comments. Now you know why we moved here! We really enjoy the more relaxed pace of life. Property Owner

  Keith, the owner, is most welcoming and very willing to offer guidance either via a comprehensive folder and/or verbally. The welcome pack is very welcome and there is adequate shopping within a five minute walk into Thornhill. Locally there are several places to visit of which Drumlanrig Castle 10 mins drive away is excellent for those who like to walk and cycle amidst beautiful forest scenery. Thoroughly recommend Treloss Lodge.

  We were a bit dubious about the underfloor heating but it did the job well, plus there was a little faux log burner so we were warm and cosy despite it being minus seven outside. We had everything we needed, and there were really helpful detailed instructions for everything. We’d definitely stay again.

  Thank you for your kind comments. The underfloor heating is really efficient, if a bit weird to walk on in bare feet! We have tried to be comprehensive with local information. Property Owner
