  • "The property ticked all of our requirements."

    Easy access, top location, quiet, cosy, super clean & well maintained. Colin & Vikki are excellent owners offering advice on trips and local knowledge, very friendly. There is so much to visit in this part of Scotland, all within easy reach of Corsock. Holly’s Hideaway is a dog friendly cottage and our small timid dog settled immediately.

    Thank you for your lovely comments. Hope to see you again. Property Owner

  • "Lovely property surrounded by stunning views."

    It is also really quiet, not something you'd think being next to the road. Almost everything you could want or need, which many other lets forget or don't include, is there already. The boiler took a couple of days to get used to as it was quite loud, in such a quiet place, at 7am and the towels could have been bigger but these were nothing to spoil our holiday. The property is only the 2nd at Sykes we have stayed at which is accurately listed and really clean and comfortable. Lovely little welcome pack, including some milk to help you make a cuppa on arrival. Colin and Vicky have made this a home from home!

    Thanks for the feed back we now have bath sheets! Property Owner

    The cottage was perfect and in a beautiful location. Accommodation was spotless and rooms were a really good size. Loads of storage in the bedroom for all our clothes and bed was extremely comfortable. Everything was there that we needed for a great holiday. Wonderful views to wake up to as well. Would not hesitate to recommend Holly’s Hideaway. The owners were really lovely and it was nice knowing they were only next door if we needed anything.

    Owners, Vicky and Colin, are a lovely couple. On hand if needed with great advise on where to eat and the best routes to take, but also respect your privacy. The location is perfect for exploring the left and right of Dumfries and Galloway and is warm and welcoming to return home to. Everything has been thought of. The compact kitchen area has ample utensils and equipment, I did not find anything missing. The bed is so comfy, the bathroom a delight with complimentary products and warm fluffy towels and a very generous welcome basket awaited our arrival. You won't be disappointed staying here!

About the location

CASTLE DOUGLAS

Dalbeattie 6 miles; Kirkcudbright 9.5 miles; Dumfries 18 miles.

The attractive country town of Castle Douglas is nestled in the southwest of Scotland, in the Dumfries and Galloway region. Castle Douglas is known locally as the 'Food Town', playing host to a large selection of independent food shops, as well as a range of wonderful pubs and restaurants. The town provides access to the picturesque Solway Coast, with its miles of beautiful beaches and scattering of pretty fishing villages. Carlingwark Loch lies just south of the town, a large, freshwater lake, great for coarse fishing and sailing. Enthusiasts of water sports need look no further than Loch Ken and The Galloway Activity Centre. It offers sailing, windsurfing, powerboating, kayaking, canoeing, and a wobbly water park. Less than half an hour’s drive on the A713, it is an ideal place for a family or groups. Hop aboard a boat and venture to Threave Castle, perched on an island in the River Dee, and explore its glorious gardens elsewhere on the estate, open to the public all year round. Dumfries and Galloway is an area renowned for its outdoor activities including bird watching, mountain biking, fishing, star-gazing, and golfing. Practise your swing on the 18-hole golf course situated in the grounds of the former 18th Century country mansion, Cally Palace. Pull on your walking boots and go hiking across west Scotland’s inspiring landscape, or sail along its wonderful coastline. Whatever you fancy for your holiday in Scotland, Castle Douglas is the perfect base for experiencing it all!
