The Dairy Cottage Reviews

Lovely bungalow. Well equipped and immaculately presented. Lovely views over farm land and so peaceful.

Elizabeth

Absolutely beautiful cottage in such a gorgeous location. Had everything you could need! Hot tub was a firm favourite! We were made to feel so welcome by the owners and nothing was too much trouble. The farm tour was amazing!

Lesley

We loved our week at Dairy Cottage. The hosts were very welcoming and went out of their way to ensure you had a great time. The cottage was adequately equipped and was warm and comfortable. There was a lovely enclosed decking area with chairs and a hot tub. Fresh milk was available to buy at the barn next door with milkshake flavoured shots to add if desired. This was amazing and added a novelty to the holiday. We were offered a tour of the farm which I am sure would have been amazing, but had to be cancelled due to the thunder storm. This did not stop us having a lovely relaxing time.

Gareth

Really nice, clean property with very helpful owners. ..would highly recommend

Elizabeth

Lovely stay and looked after really well. Facilities great and especially enjoyed the hot tub, thanks

Kimberley

My family of 4 plus our 4 legged friend had a wonderful stay at the Dairy cottage. The cottage was spotless and had everything you could possibly need. Hot tub was superb. The little farm shop provided deliciously fresh and creamy milk. Beautiful location. A very calm and relaxing and cosy holiday. Thank you.

Judith

Fantastic place to relax from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I would definitely recommend Dairy Cottage as a place to stay well equipped internally with great outdoor spaces front and back sporting some great views...making it feel cosy yet airy, secluded yet safe with very responsive and helpful hosts if you do need anything. Esme and I are missing watching the swallows, spuggies and cows already! Thankyou for having us!

Maxine

The area was lovely. We had a lovely relaxing stay at the cottage. Thank you.

Fab week in a lovely cottage which was everything we could have wanted and more. The owners were lovely and could not have done more to make us feel welcome. If you are after a rural idyll and the opportunity to recharge, you should look no further than Dairy Cottage. We couldnt recommend it highly enough!

I would recommend Dairy Cottage to anyone. The family who own it are lovely people and very helpful. The cottage was lovely and comfortable with every facility you could want.

Finlay

This cottage exceeded our expectations. We were a group of 2 adults, 1 teen & 1 cockapoo. We all thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. Gazing at the star filled sky at night, while sitting in the hot tub was memorable. The young girls who lived in the farm house were delightful, and their dogs were friendly too. One of the boys from the farm house would readily supply more wood, if required, while the girls would supply fresh eggs. This was a cozy cottage, just what we needed. We would all definitely want to return

The cottage itself was lovely , clean and generally comfortable. The beds however were not and you could feel every spring through the mattresses. The kitchen could use alittle TLC with general replacement of used items and a service of the boiler which makes incredible noise but over all it was fine for the long weekend stay. 10 10 for the Hot tub area .

Jennifer

The Dairy Cottage is in a beautiful location, surrounded by great views over rolling countryside. The setting really is stunning. Being down the lane from a working farm was great, our 3yr old enjoyed watching all the animals and tractors. The cottage itself was spotless, well equipped and all the interiors are finished to a high standard. The hot tub is a great addition and we took full advantage of the dark skies by stargazing as we relaxed in the tub. Our hosts were amazing, really couldn't have asked for more. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was one to remember. We will definitley be back and will be recommending the Dairy to our friends and family. Cant wait to come again and enjoy this beautiful place. We loved every minute.

The Dairy cottage is set on a very nice working farm in a beautiful location. The hosts were very accomodating with nothing too much trouble. We would definitely recommend The Dairy cottage which would suit family holidays and provide a relaxing time. All in all this place will not disappoint. Many Thanks Phillips Family.

Teresa

The Dairy Cottage is lovely in a great setting ,especially if you want to get away from it all. It is so comfortable , real home from home. The hosts are extremely welcoming and helpful, even the ponies and goats are friendly. I was there with my grandsons aged 7 & 5. They gave it a trillion out of a trillion but changed this to infinity, says it all. The hot tub is an added bonus. It is remote we got lost , no wifi or phone reception but asked a farmer for directionsbut so worth it. Ps wifi is available in the cottage.

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.
