"Clean, well equipped single storey cottage."
Photos do not do it justice. Keith was a great host, greeting us in arrival and had left bread, milk and shortcake biscuits as a welcome pack. Everything you need in the nearby village, pubs, restaurants, butchers, bakery and convenience store, local garage blew our tyre up for us. Secure garden to allow our dog to roam safely under a watchful eye. Comfortable seating, lovely big bed but not much room at either side, as a larger guy I had to proceed carefully getting in and out of bed.

"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

"Troloss Lodge is an extremely well kitted out property, the images do not do it justice."
It was a pleasure to be able to stay here recently, the location was perfect for our travels around the area. The town was really pleasant along with the people. 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!!
Thank you very much fir your kind comments. We would be delighted to see you again. Property Owner

"Lovely holiday lodge in a perfect setting on the edge of Thornhill ."
Well equipped with everything you need for a holiday . As well as having a patio area you have the use of sun loungers and parasol if you wish . The cottage is extremely comfortable and great for having a relaxing time . Of all the cottages I have visited this has to be my favourite just perfect !
Thank you for your kind comments. We have tried hard to provide outside too, for the enjoyment of our dog secure garden. Property Owner

"Beautiful comfortable cottage in a gorgeous area everything provided for a perfect holiday."
The owners were very welcoming and left us a much appreciated welcome pack, thank you. Would certainly book again if we were visiting Dumfries and Galloway. Shirley and Norman

"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

"Fabulous cottage."
Garden secure for a dog. Good place to use as a base. Lovely hosts. Welcome pack was wonderful. Even the dog was catered for.
We try to please. Welcome pack is really important for us. Property Owner

"A most comfortable, meticulously maintained and clean lodge set amidst the beautiful Lowland scenery."
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.
Thank you very much! Property Owner

"Trolls Lodge was a perfect little home from home while visiting relatives in the area."
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
-
"This was our first time in a holiday cottage, the care package on arrival was very much appreciated, and the cottage was amazing, clean, quiet and friendly owners who left loads of tips and trips for us to look through."
. I would Definetly recommend this little Gem.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Although you are behind our house, it's very much independent from us, and with its enclosed garden and private entrance, it means you are not overlooked by us. Thanks for coming. Property Owner
-
"Very clean and tidy property with everything required."
Good enclosed garden for our dog to enjoy. Close enough to the town to walk to and plenty of good dog walks nearby. We had a very enjoyable few days break
-
"A beautifully presented little cottage."
Fully equiped for a couple to enjoy a break. A great quiet location yet within short walk to shops, bars and restaurants. A well stocked welcome pack was an unexpected bonus and very much appreciated.
Thank you for your kind comments. Property Owner

"Had a fantastic break at the Troloss Lodge."
Welcome pack was fantastic. Everything you required was provided including sun loungers. Garden 100% secure so our dog couldn’t get out. Shops and restaurants only a few minutes walk away. Brilliant walk through the woods to take your dog. Would definitely recommend .
-
"We had such a lovely time staying at Troloss Lodge."
The property had everything to make it an ideal home from home stay and exceptionally comfortable. Ideally situated to explore the surrounding areas as well as further afield. The owner was always happy to stop for a chat and advise on routes, outings etc. Thornhill is a lovely village with everything we needed to for the week. Thoroughly recommend the local Chinese take away! Dumfries provided the usual culprit shopping experiences, such as Aldi, Lidl, Tesco etc. This was my first visit to Scotland and I wasn't disappointed. Thank you for making our stay such an enjoyable experience. Babs
Thank you for your kind words. Pleasure to have you stay. Property Owner

"Lovely surprise to get a message from the owner to say we could get into the accommodation earlier."
Lodge very clean, well maintained and comfortable. Welcome pack much appreciated. Our dog loved the enclosed garden. Although weather very disappointing we still managed to get out and see the area. Owners very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.
We think the enclosed garden really suits our clients. It's great to sit out in the sun when it's around, too. Thank you. Property Owner
-
"Fantastic lodge, booked to allow my wife a week to chill & relax while allowing me time to walk our dog."
This was perfect. At the end of the week we both felt as though we could easily stay 'a few more days'. On arriving you immediately feel at home, with an amazing welcome pack from the owner. My wife particularly appreciated having access to a hair dryer & a fan. The owners are just brilliant, they are available if needed with friendly advice on the area. Anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable, relaxing break, this is a must. Would recommend to anyone & have no hesitation in using again.
Thank you very much for your kind comments. We look forward to your return. Property Owner

"Just what we needed peace and tranquility woke every morning to the sound of bird song and the surrounding scenery was absolutely brilliant."
No matter which way you drive it was fantastic . The cottage had everything you needed and the owners couldn’t do enough for you.Also there was loads of information of things to do and the knowledge the owners had you couldn’t go wrong.
Thank you for your kind comments Property Owner

"Gorgeous, well appointed little property with everything we needed for a wonderful holiday."
Keith, the owner welcomed us and showed us round, nothing was too much trouble, we were grateful for the welcome goodies and thankful for the big fan as it was very hot for the entire stay. Our dog took to sleeping in the cool bathroom! The enclosed garden and comfy chairs were great and so nice for our dog to be so safe. The bed was so comfy and I have already ordered some of the pillows. Lots of information for places to visit or walk nearby. I can't recommend Troloss Lodge enough and look forward to going back.
Thank you very much for your kind comments. I look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

"Wonderful cottage with lots of space for the two of us and our medium dog."
The garden was secure and safe for Odi. The welcome pack covered everything you could think of and the cottage was cosy for February. Location was fab, we loved Thornhill, enjoyed fish and chips and Chinese takeaway. We were able to go for lovely walks straight from the door but also went further afield as well. Owners were friendly, welcoming and helpful. We will definitely rebook!
Looking forward to your return Property Owner

Very well equipped accommodation offering a home from home stay. Thank you Keith for your hospitality and information to make our visit to Scotland memorable.

"Bathroom could do with a refresh."
Lovely property beautiful area, friendly and helpful owner. My dog loved the secure garden
The bathroom had a small leak up behind the sink earlier in the year. This has slightly blown the vinyl on the doors of the vanity unit. The bathroom is scheduled for a full refit this October. Property Owner

Haste ye back! Property Owner

"Great wee cottage in a nice area."
Easy access to facilities in Thornhill and lots of good places to walk the dog. Shower not the best - an electric one would be better. Drying towels not easy, electric towel rail needed.
Electric towel rail now provided Property Owner

"Shower needs attention."
Very friendly and positive host, and very helpful.
The shower functions exactly as you would expect. Perhaps this comment refers to the Venetian blind which is in addition to the adjacent frosted window? Property Owner

We would probably book again.

"A lovely spot to stay."
Really relaxing and had everything you need for a short stay. The garden was lovely and our dog particularly enjoyed sniffing around! We'd definitely go back.
-
"A lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the country, small but had everything you need, it’s light and airy and a lovely little sitting out area - thanks to Keith for his warm welcome and the welcome pack which was much appreciated."
There is a small Co-op and a Spar only a 5 minute walk from the cottage so no need to stock up at a supermarket on the way! Had a great few days at Troloss Lodge and will definitely return.
-
"Every aspect was perfect except for the difficulty when trying to maneuver the car when parking."
A minor point far outweighed by the fabulous cottage.
The area reserved for guests on the driveway is more than two cars wide and two cars in length. We recommend cars are turned around before exiting, and there is more than enough room for a simple three point turn. Property Owner
-
"Beautiful little lodge."
Everything we wanted and more. Lovely hosts. Extra touches made us feel very welcome. Will definitely be back.
-
"My retired collie loved the underfloor heating!"
I thought it was pretty good too.
-
"A fantastic weeks stay at Troloss Lodge, one of the nicest self catering accommodations we have stayed in."
Excellent base for exploring and beautiful scenic walks. The hosts are very friendly and the cottage has everything you could possibly ask for, even down to a slow cooker. Everybody in the village are so, so friendly. The welcome pack is a very generous touch and much appreciated, thank you. Would definately recommend and hopefully stay again in the future.
-
"Trosloss lodge is a very comfortable little cottage just enough for 2 people lovely enclosed garden if you have a pet."
keith the owner was very friendly he left a very lovely welcome pack, most generous,and it ticked all the boxes would definitely reccommend both cottage and area for a relaxing break
-
"Cottage is stunning, owners were lovely and very welcoming, lovely welcome pack for us and the dog which is a lovely touch, great walks and very close to all amenities, will definitely be going back."
-
"Absolutely everything was perfect."
A small welcome pack with any necessities you could easily forget was left for us. As a young couple who enjoy gaming, the WiFi being capable of handling a couple of devices for gaming and being able to run them at the same time was a MASSIVE plus. The owners were absolutely lovely, but also left you to your own devices, whenever we did see them they always made sure that everything was fine for us in the cottage and had other things to offer to us if we needed it. A romantic week away, just the two of us was made absolutely perfect just by this location. Will definitely be seeing them again soon.
-
"The most relaxing holiday we've had for years!"
Lovely location for exploring the area, and surprisingly easy enough for a wheelchair user to get round. We renewed our wedding vows at Gretna Green whilst on this break, and the proprietors left us a lovely little gift upon our return. they were very thoughtful and nothing was too much trouble. I would happily recommend Troloss Lodge to anyone wanting a bit of peace and quiet.
-

-
"A lovely cottage set behind owners own home."
All windows look out onto garden. The cottage is well equipt and the bed is comfortable. The owners provide the basics in a welcome pack but local shopping is a five minute walk away. There's plenty to do in the area. Lots of country walking. Plenty of information on sightseeing provided . Pets are welcome at T roloss but if you are not a dog lover be assured that there's no sign that dogs have ever been inside. The place is spotless.

The nearby woodland walks and enclosed garden made it ideal for the dog. It met all our expectations, very clean and comfortable and would definitely consider returning in the future.
-
"Troloss Lodge is a little gem hidden on the edge of a lovely little town (Thornhill) ."
The owners are on site and there for you if you need them. We couldn't have wished for a better welcome, there was an essentials pack in the lodge which met all needs on arrival. It's a very comfortable place to stay and it will certainly be the first place we will look to book next time we are in the area. Thanks Keith for your local knowledge and advice.
-
"Had a fantastic week."
The property is well presented and appointed. The welcome pack is probably the best we’ve ever had with wine, chocolate and shortbread amongst the usual essentials. Very friendly and knowledgeable owners for tips as to where to visit. Garden very dog friendly and safe. It was an ideal base for our exploring holiday with loads of walks, castles and forests within easy reach. Thornhill itself has plenty to offer, convenience stores for food, a chemist, pubs and hotels, a few takeaways and a couple of coffee shops/ bakeries. Would definitely recommend.
-
"Getting turned around on Drive not easy, Perhaps it could be reconfigured?"
Otherwise a fantastic Place.
-
"The owner was very helpful and informative making our stay very relaxed."
