"Absolutely stunning property along with Debbie the property owner who was such a wonderful and caring lady sandwiches and cake on arrival after travelling up from Mid Wales nothing was too much trouble for her."
Bed was so comfortable bathroom was stunning the whole property was warm and cosy. We have visited the area for many years having friends in Annan and this was the best we have stayed in and Bailey loved his walks 2/3 times a day, we miss it already and have booked to go back early next year. Thank you for welcoming us to your stunning property Debbie x

"Excellent homely place to stay with all the comforts you could need, Debbie is more than helpful and went that bit further to make us feel at home."
Wonderful house and extensive garden with outdoor facilities like chairs, barbecue and lighting. Plenty of good walks and only a short stroll to the shores of the solway and a golf course.
Thank you Barry and Caroline for the lovely review and for looking after Scotia at The Pow. I hope you will both come again. Property Owner

"In 14 years with Sykes this is by far the nicest cottage we have been to."
Outstanding on every count. And the owner is the nicest person you could wish for. Will be going here lots. In fact I have already booked for next year.

"I knew from the moment we were greeted by our host that our stay was going to be great."
The little extra touches she has put into this wonderful holiday let are appreciated. From Sandwiches and cake on arrival, milk and bread, cereal boxes, sweets and crisps etc. All there to make our stay that little bit more enjoyable. Facilities inside were 1st class, excellent shower and bath with multiple fresh towels, airfryer,oven and microwave etc and all spotlessly clean. We visit the area at least twice a year and this is in my opinion by far the best around. We will be returning and have already re-booked for next summer....thankyou for a relaxing stay.
Thank you Ian and Cath for the wonder Review, you were both great guests and left everything spotlessly clean. I look forward to your return next year Property Owner

Outstanding accommodation, very well presented, well decorated to an high standard and very very clean.

"Over the years we have holidayed in many dog friendly cottages but by a country mile this was the best one ever!"
It was so well equipped and furnished beautifully. The garden is amazing, we just couldn’t have wanted for more. It’s a little gem set in a beautiful location. Debbie is the loveliest lady and she went out of her way to ensure we had a lovely holiday, there are no words to thank her enough. If “Carlsberg” made holiday cottages it would be Scotia at the Pow! We will certainly be back ❤️
Thank you so much Jean for the lovely review . It was a pleasure hosting you, Pat and Amber and I hope to see you all again very soon. Thank you for taking great care and looking after so well Scotia at The Pow. I’m presently enjoying your delicious crocs. Thank you. Property Owner

"As soon as we arrived we were made to feel at home, everything about Scotia on the Pow is excellent including the owner Debbie: who went above and beyond what we expected."
Debbie provided us with the best bacon and tomato sandwiches for lunch and ice cream whilst enjoying the sun in the beautiful garden, the night time light show is magical along with the peace and quiet and the biggest wind chimes we have seen. We will definitely return at our earliest opportunity.

"From the moment I entered the property I just knew I would be comfortable here."
The facilities are of a high standard with luxury and comfort in mind. I loved the decor, the lighting, the bedding, the abundance of fresh towels, to name but a few things. The host, Debbie, was very welcoming and thoughtful. Checking I had everything I needed and even popping in from time to time. She had kindly provided the essentials such as milk, breakfast items, butter, tea and coffee. This was much appreciated. The bed was very comfortable, the shower and jacuzzi were amazing and it was great having a TV in the bedroom for those lazy mornings. Powfoot itself is pretty and peaceful. Kinda special. I loved the local walks and wildlife. Further afield there's lochs, castles, Annan, Dumfries, Castle Douglas and the rest of the beautiful western Scotland to explore! All in all a very relaxing and peaceful stay. What a tonic! I'll definitely be back.
Deb thank you so much for the wonderful review ,I’m really pleased you enjoyed your stay and come back soon Property Owner

About the location
ANNAN
Dumfries 15.7 miles; Carlisle 20 miles
The town of Annan, a former harbour, lies on the banks of the River Annan, in East Dumfries and Galloway, and is steeped in history, with the area once the site of Roman camps and the workplace of the writer Thomas Carlyle. Each year, the town celebrates the Riding of the Marches, in honour of the Royal Charter bestowed by King James V, which involves parades, massed pipe bands and competitions. The area around Annan has many small towns, picture postcard villages and hamlets, plus beautiful unspoilt coastline, with sandy beaches and hidden coves. Visit nearby Caerlaverock Castle, one of Scotland's finest ruined castles or Annandale Distillery. Take a day trip and marvel at the majestic architecture of the grand abbeys of Melrose and Jedburgh or visit the northern Lake District and the historic Hadrian’s Wall. Annan is an ideal base for exploring this lovely area.
