Made you feel like home. And loved the lemon cake.

Jennifer

Lovely cottage in beautiful grounds, plus a great location for exploring the surrounding area. Richard and Joanne welcoming hosts, not to mention their dogs Honey and Amber, playmates for our dog Toby who had free run of the grounds, plus great walks direct from the property. Highly recommend, hoping to return in the future.

A beautiful bothy with everything that you could possible need for a fabulous holiday. The hosts, Richard and Joanne are very kind and considerate. Richard brought us some fresh salad leaves, tomatoes and cucumber for our tea when we arrived - you cant get fresher than that! Joanne made lemon drizzle cake and lemon roulade which was absolutely deliRead morecious. The hot tub is a bonus after a day of travelling and exploring. A massive thank you!

Lovely place to stay, exactly as advertised and immaculately clean. Well equipped kitchen with everything you need to dine in. Moffat a lovely town to explore just a few minutes drive away.

Peter

Alovely cottage in a very nice setting. From the friendly welcome we received from owners Richard, Joanne and their grandson Jason everything was ideal. We enjoyed the seclusion of the farm sitting whilst only being 15 minutes from nearby Moffat, Beattock and Dumfries. The hot tub was an essential for my wife who used it every day. The cottage has Read moreeverything you need and more and we really enjoyed the welcome pack. The homemade cheesecake was delicious, thank you Joanne. Hide

Paul

A great cottage away from the hustle and bustle, excellent facilities in a fabulous location. Owner very friendly and helpful, with friendly visits from Honey the dog. Hot tub a great addition to this great cottage with views over the valley and local wildlife.

Bathrobes and disposable slippers supplied for trips to the hot tub which was serviced daily, Would definitely return 10/10 Hide

James

A perfect place to get away from it all

Dawn

The Bothy and the hosts were really lovely. The cottage is spotless, well equipped, comfy bed, beautiful view, and large hot tub. What more could you ask for. One of our wee dogs had just had a cruciate leg repair and so we could only do 5 min walks, but we still managed short walks around the large and beautiful and well kept grounds. Wee welcome Read morepack was great with cake to die for! We would highly recommend Hide

Hayley

We had an excellent stay, loved every minute of it. The hot tub was definitely my favourite part.

Sarah

Great little place. Real value for money. Really comfortable and had everything you could possibly need. We wanted peace and quiet and got just that. The dogs loved the location too as they could run around with no leads and played with the owners friendly dogs!! Went out for some lovely days and enjoyed it all. The hosts were lovely and friendly tRead moreo top it too!! Hide

Aileen

We have enjoyed many hot breaks over the years but this is the 1st time we've returned to one and we will be back. It was our home from home, comfy, cosy, peaceful & quiet. It's handy for exploring the surrounding area too with shops, places to eat, points of interest, etc. The hot tub is sheltered private & well placed for star gazing (if the clouRead moreds allow). The owners are lovely & on hand if you need anything but otherwise do not intrude on your break. We look forward to our next break. Hide

Jayce

A lovely warm, cosy cottage in a beautiful setting. We had a super holiday here, accommodation was faultless, the owners really have thought of everything. Super walking from the door, Moffat 15 mins drive away with lots of restaurants to visit! Friendly owners, we cant wait to visit again!!!!

Michael

A very comfortable cottage with eevery thing you could need, Efficient heating and very comfortable bed. Very friendly and helpful hosts

Ian

Second visit to The Bothy. Accommodation is very comfortable & very well equipped. Ideal location for exploring the local area including the immediate area around St Anns, Dumfries & Galloway, the hills around Moffat & Langholm then you can return & soak up your day in the hot tub

Susie

We had a lovely stay. The cottage was amazing and the hosts really friendly. Our dogs loved the grounds. Plenty of space for them to run around and play! Thank you!!

Jane

Great accommodation in a lovely rural setting. Ideally located for access to all the local sights.

Theresa

Lovely accommodation, everything you need has been thought of. We are already looking to book again.

Kim

We loved this bothy . It was in a beautiful area with lots of places to visit especially in the great outdoors. The Bothy was lovely very comfortable clean & everything you need to relax including a lovely hot tub with fantastic views.

Stuart

This cottage is exactly what the advert says, clean, well equipped and just a perfect get away.

Gill

This is a lovely comfortable property. The bed is one of the most comfortable Ive ever slept in; excellent heating and reclining sofa. Its a very rural area which means lovely open landscape and pretty views, but no pubs/restaurants/shops nearby (not much effort to go to Moffat for those). We visited in March and were disappointed that many local b uildings/spaces we hoped to visit were closed. Autumn/winter stays will need to be for outdoor activities or relaxation rather than visiting.

James

A tidy bothy and a clean and enjoyable hot tub.

Margaret

Excellent, the bothy was exceptional away above our expectations. Excellent value for money, the owners Richard and Joanne and their grandson Jason are just the nicest most helpful and friendliest people you could hope to meet. The welcome basket with the fresh eggs and the lemon drizzle cake was to die for. Nothing was to much trouble for them and we will definitely be returning and their 2 fur babies are darlings as well.

Emily

Amazing little cottage, beautiful and relaxing to say the least. Highly recommend

Michelle

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location in easy reach of lots of walks

Yvonne

The Bothy was just what we needed, time to unwind , relax and plenty of nice walks close by. Our hosts and their family were just lovely.

Adele

Accommodation is brilliant and much bigger than appears from the pics. Well thought out and we certainly benefitted from the washer/dryer available in the property. Amazingly located with plenty of local walks and both forest of Ae and Mabie on the doorstep for great MTB trails. Great for nature lovers as there is plenty of wildlife around and we g ot some fantastic views of the night sky so defo a good location for star gazing. The hosts were lovely and very welcoming, we can't wait to go back!

Ian

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.

Helen

Really clean and comfortable. Hot tub kept impeccable and a fantastic asset....even in the rain! Bothy much bigger than it looks in photos. Very dog friendly with loads of room for them to let off steam. Very friendly owners.

Pam

Lovley stay at The Bothy, very peaceful location and setting, everything we needed in the cottage and the hot tub was great after a long walk XXX

Julie

Lovely stay at Goodhope Bothy, beautiful scenery, quite and plenty of places to visit. Barn was very comfortable, everything that you need is available, host Richard is great, would definatly recommended.

Anne

Lovely bothy in a peaceful location. Equipped with everything you could want & more. Great base to visit numerous places nearby. Hosts were helpful & friendly & even gave us fresh eggs & cake on arrival

Agnes

Picking a place to stay when you have a disabled partner is often a gamble, The Bothy was well thought out , accessible, warm and cosy and absolutely perfect for us. We had a very relaxing quality time there. Hot tub was a bonus. What a lovely couple the hosts are. Nothing too much trouble and we enjoyed the fresh eggs and the home baking they welc omed us with. Would definitely return and recommend.

Janice

The cottage was lovely. It had everything you needed. Very clean and comfortable. Nice welcome pack. Nothing too much trouble for the hosts. We were given free range farm eggs from the hens, homemade lemon drizzle cake on arrival, wood for the fire and a torch to guide us out to the amazing hot tub. Robes and slippers supplied. Our dogs loved all t he walks and we loved the dog friendly pubs and cafes in the area. Definitely recommend. Thank you.

Angus

Was nice and comfy and was large enough the log fire was a nice touch

Robert

Nice quite place with great walks for our dog. Good to be able to relax and get away from it all for the week.

Alison

The bothy is a lovely place to stay . I usually choose a place where dogs are not allowed but the Bothy was very clean and pets being there before wasnt an issue here. The hot tub is very private with a great view and if you like star gazing then its perfect even in winter. If youre reading reviews about lovely cakes as I was then you need to under stand that this isnt a regular thing that happens every stay the owners work and do not have time to do this for everyone. Lovely retreat

Naomi

Absolutely amazing property. Extremely clean, perfect location to get to both Glasgow and Edinburgh. The hot tub was fantastic, everything you could need is there. I would 100% recommend this property. The owners are on site but left you to your own devices and were available if needed.

Anne

Had a lovely relaxing week staying at "The Bothy". Spotlessly clean and everything that you would require was provided for.

Christine

Fantastic cottage for a relaxing break. Richard and Joanne are the perfect hosts: would definitely recommend. Fresh eggs and home baking.

Mabie Farm Park - DG2 8EZ

Mabie Farm Park is a firm favourite. Ideal for families with younger children ,this family oriented farm park has lots of animals to meet and also offers Donkey Rides, Paddle Boats and Slides as well as Trampolines and Bouncy Castles. Kids can run around on the Soft Play Area while mum and dad relax in the Tea Room. There is also a Farm Shop onsite selling toys, gifts and fresh local produce including cakes and jams.

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.
