• "Second time, this year, at 2 Whiterow, and we shall return, next year, hopefully."

  This is a lovely welcoming property, very clean and comfortable, and Julie, the owner, was only a phone call away, should there be any problems or questions. Ideal base to visit attractions, in the area, and most places, we wanted to go, where within an hour's journey. Very happy to recommend, to anyone, looking for a peaceful sea view, and being so dark allows fantastic views, of the night sky, when not cloudy.

• "Welcomed by Julie and showed around cottage upon arrival."

  All facilities were spot on, everything you need for cooking and drinking, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer etc etc. Big double bedroom with sea view smaller back bedroom with 2 singles, we did not use. Fantastic location, Powfoot is very quiet, if you want a place with bars and restaurants, this is not for you, it suits us down to the ground, to get away and just relax and watch the world go by The bars are in nearby Annan, taxi £10 each way or a walk of 1hr 20mins. Eat in the Powfoot Hotel, good for lunch and dinner and a nice spot for a pint overlooking the Solway Firth, walk down to Queensbury Holiday Park, they have a nice bar and food area, we only had a drink and cannot comment on the quality of the meals. Try Annandale Distillery for a lunch, very nice. Lots of things to do in the area, but be prepared to drive, Powfoot is quite remote. Would we stay here again, 100%. Thanks Julie.

• "The cottage was outstanding."

  We have used Sykes, many times and this is definitely up there with the very best. Julie came across, to explain about heating, hot water, recycling etc. and provided information on various eateries, in the area, and should we require any help, or advice, was at the end of the phone.The property was very clean, and the bed comfortable, and we have kitchen envy. Fantastic views across the firth, with the rise and fall, of the tides, altering it every day. There were lots of heron, cormorant and egrets, mostly using the swimming pool, as a food source. Whiterow provides an ideal base for touring the area, with WWT Caerlaverock and Caerlaverock Castle, close by. Also recommend Threave house and gardens. The cottage allowed us to enjoy a peaceful, relaxing time to celebrate our anniversary (and a special trip to Gretna Green). Once again, thank you Julie, and we shall return.

  A beautiful clean and comfortable cottage with stunning views from the settee or window over the Solway Firth. We enjoyed watching the "swimming pool" on the beach fill and empty with the tide. There is a freezer in the kitchen that is not mentioned in the write up of the cottage, this was very useful. The Powfoot Hotel, a short walk away serve an excellent scone jam and cream. We had bright sunny weather and enjoyed touring the surrounding area. Janet

• "We were greeted on the doorstep but the host Julie, who showed us round and explained everything, nothing was too much trouble, a nice bottle of wine and chocolates to greet you with."

  The cottage is spotlessly clean, comfortable and has everything you could need during your stay. Some people’s needs are different than others, but what we needed was there, it was warm and cosy, you could park your car and do whatever you wanted. Beautiful views across the Solway, very changeable by the minute. We found the beach not to our taste, very uneasy in places and not one to walk on without getting sludged up. We walked to Annan which I don’t recommend, it wasn’t pleasant. Annan isn’t a place I would visit again, I didn’t impress at all. Powfoot village is quite quaint, especially near the bowling green, but you can see it all in an afternoon. Walks along to the caravan park we’re enjoying too. The pub next door virtually do nice food, which I recommend. Overall, the cottage was perfect in every way, the view is stunning but you need to drive further afield to see things as Powfoot doesn’t offer much apart from the same walk along the coast. Unfortunately the weather for us wasn’t ideal, we enjoyed the cottage, but Powfoot didn’t do it for us.

  It is decorated and furnished to the highest standard, - everything is of 'excellent quality'. Julie the owner was absolutely lovely, friendly, approachable and nothing was too much trouble. We were also left a treat of wine and chocolates - thank you Julie ! The cottage is situated right on the Solway coast with fantastic views, in particular the wonderful view of the old Edwardian bathing pool which it is said was used as recently as 40 years ago!. Powfoot is a delightful little village and is perfect for a peaceful and relaxing holiday, we loved the community hut in the bowling green, its open to all and you can buy donated items by leaving your payment in an honesty box - quaint and refreshing! Powfoot is situated within easy reach of Dumfries, the lakes and many other places of interest in Dumfries and Galloway. The Sitar indian takeaway is literally 5 minutes drive away in Annan and its gorgeous as is the Anglers in Annan. The Powfoot hotel which is a few steps away from the cottage serves absolutely lovely food and the staff are really nice. Would highly recommend 2 Whiterow Powfoot for a relaxing and enjoyable break.

The location is beautiful, lots of places to visit by car. We thoroughly enjoyed the Annandale Distillery tour. Had a tasty Afternoon Tea at the hotel up the road (Del Amitri at The Powfoot Hotel) and even managed to see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) one evening, with just a 5 minute walk up the road.

• "I am not sure if it is possible to describe how wonderful our holiday was."

  The cottage surpassed all expectations. The comfort and standard and location were outstanding. We were blessed with beautiful weather, but you could stay here even with the worst weather and still look out onto the stunning landscape and be refreshed. On the day we arrived Julie was there to welcome us and show us how everything worked, and only a text away if help was needed. Plenty of information about the local area was provided. New Abbey with its excellent cafe is well worth a visit. The Powfoot Hotel has a very popular restaurant and our advice is to book in at their restaurant a week before you arrive. That is what we will do on our next visit. Oh yes, we will definitely return to 2 Whiterow.

• "No 2 Whiterow exceeded our expectations in so much as the cottage was immaculate in all aspects."

  On arrival we were met by the owner who explained everything to us and made us feel very much at home. The owners must be proud of what they have achieved and its evident that they take pride in the presentation of their cottage. We would strongly recommend No 2 Whiterow and intend to revisit soon.

• "Julie and Scott have refurbished this cottage to perfection."

  It is far more spacious than you think looking at the outside. Julie has thought of everything you may need for your holiday right done to a packet of toothbrushes in case you had forgotten your own. The weather was not in our favour but the cottage was warm and cosy and Netflix on the TV was an added bonus. The weather also meant we could not take advantage of the Hotel a few doors along due to Covid restrictions so had to settle for a glass of wine at the cottage looking out into the Solway and Cumbria beyond, could have been far worse! Great base for exploring the area. Julie is warm and friendly and nothing is a bother for her. Loved this cottage do much.

• "Absolutely first class."

  Julie and Scott could not have been more helpful and they have a lovely cottage with all facilities. Since one of us is in the Shielding category we were nervous about health security but the arrangements were perfect. The position looking onto the Solway is wonderful and we were able to birdwatch through binoculars as well as to travel in an area that we used to know. The touch of leaving wine and chocolates was much appreciated. We would definately like to come back when things get back to more normal. Quite the best accommodation we have had through Sykes.

• "The cottage was very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped."

  The situation of the cottage overlooking the Solway was amazing especially as the tide movement keeps the view constantly changing and beach was lovely to walk along. Powfoot is a pretty village with a popular hotel for food and drinks. The surrounding area was interesting to explore with some fascinating history. The Devils Porridge Museum at Eastriggs is worth a visit. I thoroughly enjoyed my short stay there, and hope to return.

  Surprisingly spacious and extremely comfortable. Powfoot is a stunning spot for a relaxing, quiet holiday, but there is plenty to see and do in Dumfries and Galloway. The cottage is close to a lovely hotel should you fancy a meal or drink. We would thoroughly recommend this property and look forward to staying again.

  Beautiful cottage with the most amazing view. Julie was extremely welcoming and made it clear that if we needed anything at all not to hesitate in contacting her, didn't need to, think she had thought of everything. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage, and certainly wouldn't hesitate in booking again!

  Number 2 Whiterow far exceeded our expectations, was immaculately clean inside and out, and a very warm welcome from the owners. The location is amazing, beautiful sea views from the lounge and main bedroom windows, particularly when the tide is in. We were with our 2 teenage sons and we found the bungalow plenty big enough for the four of us. Powfoot is a lovely area and a great base to travel around from by car. Would definitely recommend it, and look forward to staying there again.

• "This cottage feels like a real home from home."

  Julie, the owner, was helpful when I phoned her before our arrival and also when I had a couple of questions while we were away. It was peaceful and warm and, despite the fact it rained a lot, a good base to set out from on a day trip. We went with our two children (4 and 2) and they loved sitting on the large windowsills and looking out onto the Solway Firth. The back garden with picnic bench was nice for them to play in but they had to be supervised at all times, as you can access the road by following the side of the house round. Although not too busy there is regular traffic going to the hotel and golf course. From the back you can see onto the neighbours’ cottages and back gardens - they were friendly and checked we were having a good time. There are large dogs next door which did bark quite a lot whenever we opened the back door and a few times some young boys on bikes were playing on the shared access road up the side of the house, so it didn’t always feel private when in the kitchen or accessing the garden. The beds are comfy and the house was spotlessly clean throughout. The wine and chocolates on arrival were a welcome touch. We had our shopping delivered on the evening we arrived, so didn’t need to find a supermarket. This was handy as there were not any small local shops in Powfoot that we found. There is a very small park/playground which was good for our children though, about a 15 minute walk away. You see the sign for it as you drive in to Powfoot. We could have done with a bit more info in the file about the house, such as when to put the bin out, but there were lots of leaflets about the local area. There isn’t much to do in Powfoot itself, other than to walk along the sand. It is not beachy sand, but clay-like... so you can’t build sandcastles on there. We drove to SandyHills, about an hour away, which was better for sandcastle building. We also drove to Threave Estate and gardens, about 50 mins away, which was lovely- as well as Gretna Green (it was all still closed up from Covid restrictions, even though the website didn’t say this!) and to Loch Mabel nature reserve for a walk and a picnic, so there is enough to do if you’re willing to drive there. The cottage is a great base from which to explore, but if you want things on your doorstep just to walk to, like a pub or a shops, then this is not the place for you. We have had a lovely week. We would visit again, simply for the cottage, knowing how lovely it is, but not necessarily for the location.

• "Right from the start,the cottage exceeded our expectations, photographs did not do it justice."

  The interior was pristine and spacious, well laid out, with quality furnishings.Well equipped kitchen, with all we required for a weeks stay, including washing machine and dishwasher. Rear garden was large and nicely laid out, with new garden furniture [pity the weather didn't permit us to make more use of it!]. There are great views of the beach and Solway Firth from the living-room and main bedroom [very comfortable bed, in a large, spacious room].In the bathroom, there was a great walk-in shower, just the thing after being out walking in the fresh, bracing air! For those who need to keep in touch, the internet connection is excellent. The location of the cottage itself was the main attraction, a very picturesque row of whitewashed fishermen's cottages, with a huge expanse of sandy beach right on the doorstep. A very relaxing and invigorating week, couldn't recommend it highly enough.Finally, big thanks to Julie, our host, for a very genial welcome, immediately made us feel that we had picked the right place [... and the bottle of fizz went down well].5*.

• "Fantastic cottage in a superb location."

  Julie and Scott the owners had thought of everything. We were met by the owners who were extremely welcoming and helpful. The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing break, the rooms are furnished to a very high standard. The view from the living room window across the Solway Firth is fantastic. Walking along the beach provides great views in a quiet location. The cottage is not far from Annan if you need to stock up and is within easy traveling distance of Dumfries. There are many local attractions to visit all set amongst beautiful countryside. If you are looking for a relaxing break in beautiful surroundings this is perfect.
