Denise
I have been on numerous cottage holidays, Collieston Cottage is the BEST YET! ! The cottage is so well equipped you want for nothing, a real home from home. Hot Tub perfect the countryside and silence stunning. FANTASTIC !!!
Cottage was really lovely. Hot tub was fab perfect as it was covered just what you need on a rainy day. Location was beautiful with wonderful views across the countryside. The only downside is if you want to eat out on an evening it is quite a travel on dark narrow roads to reach a pub or restaurant but it's worth it for the peace and quiet and complete privacy loved it just bring your own food and put the wonderful logburner on fab.
Couldnt fault the property. A great getaway.
Victoria
Lovely, comfortable cottage, well equipped and excellent wifi. Views from the hot tub were amazing! A really picturesque area to explore. Thoroughly enjoyed our week.
Tamala
Amazing place! Hoping to get back soon, nothing to improve the stay at all!
A lovely spotlessly clean cottage in beautiful surroundings, perfect for a peaceful stay.
This holiday cottage is amazing, it is in a very quiet, peaceful location and is equipped with everything you could possibly need during your stay. The welcome basket is a lovely touch after having travelled on a long journey. Having a hot tub is a bonus allowing you to fully appreciate the beautiful surroundings and watch the local wildlife.
We all had a lovely stay at this cottage. My two kids and dog were so happy with all the space for them to run around in and also very secure. The views are beautiful and the hot tub was fab also. Very clean and well equipped we would defo return.
Well decorated and fully equipped cottage. The views are stunning. If you are looking for peace and tranquility this is ideal!
We had a lovely stay at Collieston cottage, it is perfectly situated for a quiet, get away from it all, but also within reach of lots to do in the surrounding area. The cottage itself is very comfortable and superbly equipped, with outstanding views.
Lovely cottage in very quiet location with great views and lots of sheep. Everything supplied that you needed for your stay by the owners. Would highly recommend.
Catherine
We had a lovely time at the cottage, it was more spacious than it looks, very clean , everything that you need. The farm was so peaceful and tranquil. The hot tub was great too. Would highly recommend it to family and friends
The hosts, Hayley & Keith were very welcoming and went out of their way to purchase bbq facilities for us. They also supplied us with ice. The accommodation was well equipped to a very high standard & extremely comfortable. We couldn't fault this stay, it was in a very peaceful location and the hot tub was a much an added bonus. We will definitely be back. Many thanks to you both for your hospitality x.
Caroline
Our Second stay in Collieston Cottage and we enjoyed it just as much. Its Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The owners give you total privacy but are easy to contact if needed. Even though weve stayed before We filled our week with new things to see and do. Great location if youre wanting to see Dumfries, but want a peaceful cottage to relax in at night. The views are fantastic and the hot tub is a real treat. The cottage is bigger than it looks on the photos and you have to see it to realise how beautiful the setting is. The children loved seeing the lambs in the fields outside the cottage too. It really is one of the best cottages weve stayed in and weve stayed in many cottages. 1110
Dominic
Amazing stay, beautiful cottage in a lovely peaceful and extremely private rural setting. Cottage was very clean and stylish and had everything we needed. Hot tub was brilliant and kept the kids happy when the weather was absolutely awful for Easter time! Would love to stay again.
Rachel y
We had an excellent long weekend at Collieston Cottage. The cottage itself is immaculately clean and modern. The hot tub and wood burner are excellent features and the remote location gives you complete privacy. The perfect spot for a relaxing break!
Michael
Collieston cottage is an extremely comfortable, warm and wellequipped home from home. The house was absolutely spotless on arrival and its setting is secluded but with all modern conveniences you would expect. The views are amazing and theres nothing better than sitting in the hot tub to admire them. This is the highlight of the cottage. Communication from the owner was excellent too. Very highly recommended.
Our second time at Collieston cottage, & it was just as fabulous as the first time. Cosy, peaceful, very high standards inside & out. Beautiful views, peaceful & the best hot tub I have ever used, especially after a day's walking. Thank you Hayley & Keith x
A beautiful cottage, had a great stay.
Michael
What a beautiful place to stay. Everything was perfect, cottage beautifully presented, very clean and well equipped. Hottub area was fantastic as well, with beautiful views over the countryside and beyond but also undercover incase the weather was poor. Hosts provided a host of little extras to get us started on our break which included logs and kindling, matches and firelighters for the wood burner. Tea, coffee and shortbread provided in the kitchen as well as the small stuff like salt n pepper, cooking oil, tinfoil n baking paper. Absolutely excellent place to relax and unwind and we are definitely going to rebook as soon as we can.
Daniel
We had a wonderful stay at Collieston Cottage, it was spotlessly clean on arrival and its very well equipped. The lovely little wood burner and the hot tub turned our trip into a cozy little getaway. The cottage is very secluded, which was what we were after, but its only a 30 min drive or so to the next big city. Its a lot more spacious then the pictures might suggest and we loved the little themed bedroom decoration and the other thoughtful little touches you can find all over the cottage. The area surrounding the cottage is just beautiful. We loved every second of our stay and will definitely be back! Also the hosts were really friendly and helpful.
An oasis of peace resulting in an amazing holiday. The hot tub is excellent and the cover means you can use it in any weather. The cottage is immaculate and very well equipped. Highly recommended and we're fussy
Propert is excellent we had a lovely holiday and it is good that you can use hot tub hail, rain or shine as it is covered. We have been to a few cottages over the years but this is definitely the best.
Amazing family holiday and will definitely be back! The cottage was better than the pictures. So cosy and in the middle of nowhere. Just what was needed to get away from busy city life. It had everything you would need and more. Attentive hosts, there at the drop of a hat to help with anything! Loved our time.
We spent a perfect week at this gorgeous secluded cottage. One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in. So much attention paid to the decor and facilities. Our border collie pup loved watching the sheep and cows. Loads of walks from the door or a short drive away. We loved it and cant wait to make a return visit . Hysterical fabulous !
Beautiful property. Spotless and wellequipped. The surroundings were stunning and peaceful. The hot tub just topped it all off. It was such a pleasure to stay here. We'll be back.
Rebekka
Stunning property, lots of lovely little homely touches and extremely clean. Very quiet and peaceful and the views were outstanding. Will definitely be back
Caroline
The Cottage is beautiful, spotless and really comfortable. Its much bigger than we expected and the views are truly stunning. It has to be the most well equipped cottage weve stayed in! Excellent communication from the owners and Hayley and Kieth made us feel very welcome, it really was a home from home. The hot tub is a fantastic feature with a fabulous view. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat, perfect location for exploring the area.
Madelein
When booking a holiday house, you can never be too sure what you are going to find and if the house will look anything like the photos. Collieston cottage is a real gem and exceeded our expectations. The location and views are absolutely gorgeous. The actual cottage was well presented, clean, welcoming and cosy. The doggy welcome basket was great and the selection of shortbread biscuits were a great welcome treat for everyone. Although it is a working farm, the cows and sheep didn't bother us and the children loved seeing the animals in the fields close to the cottage. The upstairs loungebedroom area were great for the older children as they loved have their own space. The hot tub was great and the views from the hot tub was amazing. Last but not least, the owners were lovely too. Although they are around on the farm, they are not intrusive at all and it was lovely talking to them. We normally don't like going back to the same place more than once as we like exploring different places, but Collieston cottage might have changed our minds.
William
We had a fabulous time, great location, fantastic views, children didn't want to leave. Hope to return again in the future. Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful cottage with the most spectacular scenery. Spotlessly clean with everything you need, cant wait to visit again!
Pamela
What a beautiful, peaceful place to stay. I booked this as a surprise for my Mums 60th and wish I had booked for longer, we didn't want to leave. Definitely a home away from home, with everything you could ever need. We will 100 be back and for longer next time.
Collieston Cottage is one of the nicest places we have stayed. The cottage has everything you need and more plus the little extras like toothbrushes, toothpaste face cloths and shower gels. The dog also doesn't miss out as there are dog treats, towels, bowls and poo bags provided. We will certainly return.
Tracey
We had a fantastic few days at Colliestone Cottage. Extremely peaceful, truly relaxing break with breathtaking views. The cottage was just perfect home from home, the wood burning stove an added bonus. The outdoor space is great we loved using the hot tub under the gazebo in the evening and our labrador loved the large enclosed garden. We will definitely return.
Me and my family came for my daughters 16th birthday and what a memorable 16th it was. Waking up to those views each morning and added hot tub was just perfect. The cottage is very well kept to a fantastic cleanliness standard and it was noticed as soon as we walked it, smelt beautiful. Beds were so cozy. Hot tub and outside area was honestly perfect. We will be back definitely and we loved it very much. Thank you for letting us stay. The ballochs x
Lorraine
What an absolutely amazing cottage in an amazing part of Scotland. The photo's do not do it justice regarding the size it was much bigger than we thought it was going to be which was good.What made it even better was the amazing extras and little touches that had been done it had everything and more being away from home that you could possibly need or want.I would definitely recommend this cottage and can't wait to return in the future.
Peter Andrew
Lovely lovely view, clean and well equiped.
Gillian
The cottage is fantastic. It is cared for and finished to a high specification. This is home from home. The views are spectacular from the hot tub albeit they are provided by nature. There is absolutely nothing even slightly disappointing about this beautiful property. The owners are great to deal with too.
