We had a lovely â˜ºï¸ peaceful holiday here. Enjoyed the hot tub especially when the sun was setting. Cottage was clean and comfortable. Luna our dog loved the garden and had zoomies running around it. We visited St Ninans cave, Garlieston garden and beach, Cree wood and Castle Douglas. All these not far away from the cottage. The St Ninians tearoom near the harbour is a must! Thank you James for a great stay 😊

Had a relaxing week in this lovely cosy cottage, it had everything we needed and the hot tub was a real bonus. The owner James was friendly and very helpful, we left something behind in the cottage and he was kind enough to post it back to us. Would hope to stay here again in the future

Cotters Cottage is just what we were looking for to spend the week relaxing and walking the dogs. The cottage was spotless inside and out. Has everything you need for a self catering break and a good size enclosed garden for dogs which is a must for us. The hot tub is a great addition, especially after a days walking and for relaxing in the evening to watch the stars (best place in Britain) as it’s in the dark sky park. Wood walks and coastal walks are within a few miles from the cottage and there is plenty. A visit to The Red Range is a must. James the owner was fab and the complimentary bottle of fizz was a lovely touch from him. Had a great 7 night break and would definitely return in the future.
