The Bothy is a wonderful property. Set in spacious grounds it is decorated & fitted to a high standard. All appliances are of a high standard & the furnishings are all most comfortable. The hot tub is a lovely added bonus where you can relax and check out a rather magnificent view. Theres plenty of good walking nearby.

Lucy

Super clean and comfy! The hot tub was kept pristine and a brilliant addition...even when it was raining! The bothy is way bigger than it appears in the photos. It's also really dog friendly with plenty of space for them to let off some steam. The owners were very friendly too.

Rachel

The cottage was absolutely lovely. It had everything you could need. Very clean and comfortable too. The welcome pack was nice. The hosts were really accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. We received free-range farm eggs from the hens, homemade lemon drizzle cake on arrival, wood for the fireand a torch to help us find our way to the amazing hot tub. They even supplied robes and slippers. Our dogs adored all the walksand we enjoyed the dog-friendly pubs and cafes nearby. Definitely recommend! Thanks a lot.

Castle Douglas - DG7 1TJ

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. Children will enjoy solving the clues whilst learning about the history of the area. The walking trail is suitable for wheelchair users and those with pushchairs so no one is left out of the fun.
