The cottage was excellent as was the hot tub.

The cottage was excellent as was the hot tub. The location was rural but only a five minute drive from Dumfries town centre which suited us as it was very quiet.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful space. I came with my partner, daughter and puppy for a week's stay here and it was great. You're surrounded by lush green fields and plenty of peace and quiet.The house is beautiful and bright, with lovely wee touches like Prosecco, dog treats, and robes for the hot tub. We ate in a lot and the kitchen has everything you need for cooking while the house has both a big living room with comfy sofas, as well as a bright and open conservatory to sit and relax.The hot tub was great both for daytime and nighttime and we were lucky enough to have a really clear evening where you could see stars for miles.Location is great for plenty of daytrips to the surrounding areas or even just lots of nice local walks.If you're looking for relaxation, a welcoming space and a fantastic hot tub (great jets) then I'd highly recommend it. Oh, and the beds were super comfy too!
