Situated on the banks of the River Annan, the historic town of Annan was once the site of Roman camps and the workplace of the writer Thomas Carlyle. In honour of the Royal Charter bestowed by King James V, every year, the town celebrates with parades, massed pipe bands and competitions. Many small towns, villages, hamlets and stunning sandy beaches make up the area around the town. Further afield are the city of Glasgow, the abbeys of Melrose and Jedburgh, plus the northern part of the Lake District and Hadrian's Wall. Annan and the surrounding area are a perfect base, at any time of the year.

The location was great and easily accessible to many areas with a drive. The hot tub was an added bonus, which we all enjoyed. One very large room with 2 double beds and a smaller room with a double bed, my boys were made up getting to sleep in their own double bed whilst I had the smaller room for myself. Everyone was lovely and welcoming. Aileen was a great host and even shown us around the farm where I got to see my beloved Highland cows. Thank you for a great stay, which was exactly what I needed a break away from everything, making our stay a wonderful home from home. When we arrived there was a lovely bouquet of fresh flowers, milk and biscuits again exactly what was needed after a long journey. Thank you Aileen and Andrew for a great stay, I will be back again in the future

Aileen was very helpful with the few questions we asked and sorted out the cheeping smoke alarm as soon as we mentioned it. There is some building work going on - it is was it is, but it didnât disturb us at all. We made use of the hot tub - welcome after a busy day! The working farm was certainly busy, and there is farmyard noise - but it was nice to be in the midst of it and the lovely farm dogs made our dog Stella very welcome! A nice base for a few days sight-seeing- no complaints from us.

It was better than anticipated. Aileen was a fantastic host and ensured we had everything we needed and had left coffee, tea and milk for us so we have a drink once settled in. I checked that we could bring our 3 cats with us as this detail had changed after booking and she was great about this. Our girls absolutely loved it, especially the stairs as we live in a flat. They were playing for hours then chilled out. The beds are soo comfy found it hard to wake up, the hot tub was amazing and gave me such relief from my osteoarthritis. We enjoyed the cottage so much we've rebooked for next year for 2 weeks for my 60th birthday. I would happily live there. Don't forget to visit the cows but ask first as this is a busy farm
