A beautiful lodge on the banks of the loch, a stunning location and the aspect is sublime with the sunset over the hills. Many brown trout were fished on the loch and there are many walks with much nature on the doorstep. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and will certainly visit again. Many thanks indeed for a fantastic break.

Willow Cottage was fantastic. The personal touches really made it feel like warm and welcome. A great touch was the fresh farm milk, farm eggs, youghurts and home made granola. The view over the loch was superb, wonderful to be surrounded by fantastic countryside and farm animals. Our hosts were very helpful, daily looking after the hot tub for us to ensure it was clean. Beds were super comfy, cottage very well equipped, A wonderful place to rest and rejuvenate.

We also recommend a visit to Castle Douglas and the Treasure Hunt Treasure Trails. These treasure hunts are great fun for the whole family and are an entertaining way to explore a new town or village.

We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
