  What a wonderful place to stay!

  A very well equipped, comfortable cottage, with a lovely view of hills and a large pond. Everything you could ever need for a holiday base. The hot tub is a fabulous bonus, we were star gazing in that most evenings. The pool table was fun too, we had not played pool for years. There are many good books to read, sky TV, all you want if the weather is bad and you wanted to cozy up indoors. The lodge is very stylish and warm, but you also have the benefit of a wood burning stove for those chillier evenings. It is a very short drive to the shops in Castle Douglas.Threave castle and gardens is nearby. You take a boat ride to the castle, which is unique. Another great castle to visit is Caerlaverock castle, it has an unusual design. There are lovely woodland walks in Dalbeattie forest to Kippford Bay, which is a nice place to visit. There's a great pub restaurant (The Anchor Hotel) which serves fantastic food. A must do is feeding the wild goats and red deer, we took several kilos of carrots and they were gone within minutes. Hahaa Logan's fish pond is a unique place to visit, and Logan's Botanical Gardens is amazing! The Wood of Cree is another beautiful place to visit, with lots of waterfalls. Walks around Glen Trool, Kirroughtree, Clatteringshaws Loch are wonderful. Of course you can walk up the Merrick, if you are fit enough. A drive down Raiders road is good if you want a nice forest drive. Stinchar falls is another nice walk to a waterfall. There are many waterfalls to discover in the Galloway, if that is your thing. Eskrigg nature reserve is a great place for bird watching and looking out for red squirrel. There's so much to do in the Galloway, a week simply isn't long enough. We will definitely stay at Hardhills Cottage when we next return to the Galloway, I doubt you could wish for a more lovely place to stay. Thank you.

  Property was a good base to visit surrounding areas from.

  The cottage was of a good size , comfortable and warm, and had every thing you’d require for your stay, from washing up liquid to kitchen roll to every utensil you’d ever need. The garden was huge, with a stream running along the bottom which my dog thoroughly enjoyed a wee paddle in. Plenty parking space if travelling by car. The owners had also left some tea, coffee , milk in the fridge and biscuits which was very much appreciated. Another lovely thought/treat that was left , was doggy treats , which the dog loved, a ball and some poo bags. Communication between owner and myself was excellent, they gave clear directions of how to get there and let me know that the place was now available to use. When there, the owner came to introduce himself, which was nice to be able to put a face to the name. There are local shops right on the doorstep , a grocery shop , butchers shop etc. The railway is within walking distance if wanting to travel without a car. Would recommend this place to stay and would consider a return visit in the future

  This holiday cottage is absolutely fabulous, it looks a generous size in the advertised photos, but in reality it's huge!

  . It is finished to a very high standard, the owners have created an absolute gem. The logburner with unlimited logs was so cosy every night, not that we needed it really, as the underfloor heating kept the property comfortably warm, especially in the conservatory where the heat in the floor was addictive! A perfect reading room!. The pool table was great, and a stash of games and books will make sure you don't get bored if the weather keeps you indoors. The decking which surrounds 2 sides of the property is of a high end finish also, and the hot tub which sits on it is private and only overlooked by a few sheep and wonderful rolling countryside. It gave us countless hours of relaxation. I would recommend a holiday in Hardhills Cottage to anyone. Thankyou Ewen and Shelagh.

  The Dairy Cottage is in a beautiful location, surrounded by great views over rolling countryside.

  The setting really is stunning. Being down the lane from a working farm was great, our 3yr old enjoyed watching all the animals and tractors. The cottage itself was spotless, well equipped and all the interiors are finished to a high standard. The hot tub is a great addition and we took full advantage of the dark skies by stargazing as we relaxed in the tub. Our hosts were amazing, really couldn't have asked for more. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was one to remember. We will definitley be back and will be recommending the Dairy to our friends and family. Cant wait to come again and enjoy this beautiful place. We loved every minute.
