"We had a fantastic time away."
We especially loved how catered it was for our dogs and being able to let them run wild without the worry of cars or anyone else around was great. The massive amount of board games provided was excellent, we will need to return a few times to make our way through all of these. Overall we loved it, the dogs loved it and we will certainly be back.
Thank you for your review, we are so glad a great time was had by all, your dogs too. It will be lovely to welcome you all back, hopefully more games and keeping them up to date, will keep you entertained. Suggestions always welcome. Property Owner

"Such a beautiful place to stay for the week, very peaceful and not a person in sight."
Great for the dogs as there’s plenty of space for them to run around. And the wee dog treats and toys were a lovely touch along with our welcome pack. The owners have thought of absolutely everything you need for you stay. And the place is spotless. I highly recommend this cottage and we will definitely be back.
Thank you so much, great feedback and what we had hoped, we love the place so much ourselves and want it to be enjoyed. It was so nice to see you all even, if it was only in passing, we are glad you all enjoyed yourselves, Puppa’s as well. We would love to welcome you all back in the future. Property Owner

"This is a lovely, well presented and well equipped cottage."
It is in a very peaceful setting with plenty of walks directly from the cottage and, being surrounded by woodland, there is plenty of wild life to be seen particularly at dusk.
Thank you Gillian for the great feedback, we are so pleased you enjoyed the cottage and its peaceful surroundings, the wildlife is exceptional to see in your own garden too. We would love to welcome you all back in the future. Stephanie & Ian Property Owner

Rustle up something delicious in the fully-equipped kitchen, home-cooked meals can be enjoyed over a bottle of wine around the dining table before you unwind into your evening.
The ground level is complete with a king-size double bedroom, a twin bedroom and a family bathroom for you to either relax in the tub after a long walk or enjoy a rejuvenating shower each morning.
Climb the stairs to the second king-size double bedroom, which has a walk-in wardrobe and overlooks the unfenced pond within the grounds, where red squirrels and deer can be spotted.
You can walk straight from the extensive gardens that surround the property, up the hills and into the forest for an adventure with the kids and your four-legged friends.

About the location
DUMFRIES
Castle Douglas 18 miles; Gretna 30 miles; Kirkcudbright 40 miles; Lake District National Park 50 miles;
Known as the Queen of the South, Dumfries is a market town and former royal burgh and is the largest town in south west Scotland. It lies close to the mouth of the River Nith as it opens into the Solway Firth. Its origins are mysterious and are believed to involve at various times the ancient Romans, St Ninian and there is evidence of King Arthur having fought battles in the area. It is also held that Malcolm Canmore and William the Conqueror met here in the 11th century and William Wallace pursued the English through the surrounding Nith valley 200 years later. Robert the Bruce killed his rival John Comyn in the Greyfriars Kirk in Dumfries and Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed in the town for a few days in the mid 18th century and the poet Robert Burns moved to Dumfries in 1791 and staying until his death five years later. Today Dumfries is a bustling popular town with much to offer the visitor. Its location makes it ideal for exploring the coastline with its sandy beaches and rocky inlets to the Galloway Hills and Ae forest offering superb walking and cycling on the famous 7 stanes trails. Visit stunning Caerlaverock Castle and Nature Reserve or indulge in some high octane excitement with the Scottish Rally based in Dumfries each summer.
