• "The cottage was lovely well equipped and clean."

  My two dogs and I had a great time with plenty of walks through the forest. Highly Recommended if you’re looking for a peaceful quiet place to go.

• "Glebe is the perfect retreat to get away from noise and busy places."

  Decorated and furnished to a great standard with everything you need for time away. Beds comfy helping a perfect night sleep. The outside space is perfect to let our dog out to wander in safety without us worrying he will get out. There is nothing i would change or request extra because everything has been thought of. Thank you.

• "We loved the peaceful rural location of Glebe Cottage & exploring Dumfries & Galloway."

  The property was of a high standard & extremely well maintained, clean & comfortable. We used the Sat nav & had no problems in finding it. The dark skies with no light pollution were amazing (would take a telescope if available) The little extras were much appreciated thank you for a special birthday stay.

• "This is a fabulous little cottage that we come back to each year."

  Inside everything is provided for a comfortable stay. The outside has everything we needed too. Plenty of parking on the gated drive, a accessible shed with two chairs so you can sit under the overhang and get the last of the afternoon sun, a raised area at the back with table and chairs and views over farmland. Grassy area for dogs and outside sink and hose. It's about a 1.5km to the village of Ae with it's great little cafe and miles of tracks to walk. The owners are lovely, very helpful and friendly. If I could give Glebe Cottage 20 stars I would.

• "Another great stay at Glebe Cottage."

  This is a brilliant base for accessing the Forest where we were working. Have been four times already and have booked again for September. Very quiet, love the lockable shed for it's storage and chairs to soak up the afternoon sun. The beds are super comfy and there is everything you need for a comfortable stay. The hosts are most helpful should you have any issues responding swiftly to queries and super efficient in dealing with them. This time I left things behind and received a message within a short time of leaving to let me know. Many thanks Louisa you are a star.

  I think that says it all! The cottage meets all our requirements both inside and out. Use of the shed, and it's canopy, is a real asset along with the outside tap and outside seating. We were so lucky with the weather this year and spent more time enjoying the late afternoon sun whilst taking in the tranquillity and views. Thank you once again.

  Since our last visit, some mesh/wire has been added to the front gate to help stop dogs getting in/out. This was mentioned on a few reviews and it's really great owners have read comments and actioned where they can. Hope you be back soon.

  Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our two grandsons. Lots of places to visit nearby (20-30 mins drive) to keep them entertained. Peaceful surroundings to relax after a day out. Cottage was very clean and had everything you need .

• "Fabulous cottage with everything you can think of."

  Extremely clean and a lovely welcome pack. I think some way of keeping other people's pets out of the garden would be a good idea. I have a dog of my own and am used to picking up dog poo but not everyone is. I'm sure the owner must have addressed this problem before. Attachment to bottom of gate and wiring on the fence between slats may help? However despite this we would definitely like to stay again in the future.

• "Great stay at Glebe Cottage."

  Equipped with everything you need and in a very peaceful location. Took a long lead for the dog and glad I did. Lots of wildlife about and the gap under the gate is big enough for even a larger dog to get under. Looks like there would be livestock in neighbouring fields at other times to (as said in ad). Pleasant stay, hope to be back soon.

• "We had a wonderful stay in Glebe Cottage."

  The cottage is beautifully designed with everything there you need. From the moment you walk through the door you know you’re in for a pleasant stay. The cosy underfloor heating was very impressive, it made for a warm return after a brilliant day out. The washing machine was good along with the tumble drier meaning I had very little washing when I got home. The kitchen was well stocked with all the crockery, cutlery, utensils and equipment you need for a week away. The shower was spacious and powerful, and the bed very comfortable with plump pillows. Why complain about them, I’m not sure, do what I did and jettison one for sleeping! The weather wasn’t suitable to use any of the seating areas outside but I’m sure they’re all excellent, they looked good. The scenery around the cottage is beautiful, walking the dog along the lane was great, all I could hear were the birds singing and the water in the burn, plus no traffic …….heaven! So we left with our batteries fully charged and feeling rested and relax. Thank you.

• "Our third stay here and we will be booking for next year very soon!"

  The cottage is comfortable, the beds are lovely although the pillow are quite solid so we took our own this time. Comfortable sitting area and well equipped kitchen. Sitting out area with lovely open views which we did use this time. If we could make a request, please could hooks be added somewhere - in the hall between the bathroom and sitting room perhaps? Another suggestion could be in the overhang of the shed - a really useful place, or even from the rafters in the shed. We were working in the forest and struggled to hang wet gear anywhere. I am sure that others may find this useful too. The owners are friendly and helpful and on the occasion I had to make contact, the issue was dealt with quickly and efficiently. Thank you to all involved in this lovely little spot.

  Has everything you need for a short stay and more. Very clean property is obviously well cared for. In its own grounds in a very quiet location. Having read other reviews I took my own pillows! This is the only negative, although good quality pillows they were too thick and hard for us. I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking to get away from it all!

• "This house was warm, clean and extremely well designed as a holiday house eg 2 super king beds (can be 4 singles), powerful shower, large freezer, antiqo flooring, plus essentials eg washing up liquid, toilet paper, bin bags etc."

  We liked the modern decor. Good communication with owner before we arrived Short walk to Ae Forest (currently closed due to storm damage, unfortunately). We enjoyed a trip to Caerlaverock WWT Perfect for 3 of us. One large armchair and a sofa for 3, so I think this would be fine for a family with children, but perhaps not quite so comfortable for 4 large adults?

• "Four of us stayed in Glebe Cottage in September."

  My husband and a work colleague stayed in 2020 and wives joined them this year, 2021. Everything was lovely. The owners were happy for us to take an extra dog which was really helpful on this occasion - I did check beforehand - thank you for that. We had everything we needed. The shower was very efficient as was the heated towel rail in the bathroom and underfloor heating in the rooms we used it in. The only thing we missed were hooks for coats. As we were working in the Forest and it was a particularly wet week, we had to drape waterproofs over the chairs. The only hooks we found were inside the cupboard by the front door. This is no means a complaint, we would recommend Glebe Cottage to anyone and intend to book again next year.

  The cottage is exactly what you see on the photos with all equipment you need to enjoy your stay. We were warm, comfortable and surrounded by nothing but beautiful scenery. It is so dark on an evening you can see the stars in total silence. Ae Forest is a short drive away with many walks and cycle trails. We visited and did walks at Dumfries, Dalbeattie, Moffat, Rockcliffe, Castle Douglas and Annan. We will definitely return to this cottage as it has everything we needed and in a perfect location.

• "Absolutly fantastic cottage."

  Normally book in the UK 4 to 5 weeks a year as we've got a dog so don't book abroad as we like to take it with us. I wanted somewhere quite rural but as we've got 5 and 6 year old children needed to have plenty to do within driving distance. We dropped really lucky with this one. Was absolutly perfect for what we needed. It probably helped that the weather was great all week so we could make the most of the fantastic outside space. The cottage ended up being just somewhere to sleep as we were outside all the time. Loads of space for the kids to run round and enjoy themselves. Great walks in Ae forest which is on the doorstep plus it was great that there were so many places to start your walk and different ways to go in the forest that you felt you were in a new forest each day. Loads and loads of stuff to do nearby for both children and pets. Have just come home and tried to book the cottage again for the summer holidays - we never go to the same place twice as I like to explore new places but I feel that there was a lot of stuff that we were planning to do that we didn't get round to. Unfortunately it seems to be booked out for months and I'm not surprised. We will return but will probably have to wait until later autumn or winter but will be nice to stay here in a different season to see what it is like.
