Hardhills Cottage Reviews

Joshua

Brilliant property, provided a really relaxing stay which is just what we needed. Instructions on how to work the heating would have been helpful as we couldn't work it out. Would definitely stay again

Had a beautiful stay for 4 days over New year. Totally recommended.

It was a pleasure to stay in such a fantastic place for our mini honeymoon. Great location as well being close to castle douglas and Dumfries. Ewen the host was helpful with questions and help throughout. The view from the hot tub and conservatory were stunning! Thanks again!

Rebecca

We spent a full week here for our honeymoon and absolutely fell in love with the place. The owners have done an amazing job renovating making it feel like home from home. Its a perfect little slice of heaven and well certainly be back next year!!
