Threave Cottage Reviews

Really lovely cottage with hot tub, owner easy to contact and very helpful. The only thing is say to improve on is having some additional basic bits in the cottage, like caffitier, vinegar, salt and maybe a nice welcome pack? Hot tub was amazing and was very worth the extra cash! Also loved feeding the pigs
Douglas
We had a fantastic time and would definitely be back at the cottage very friendly owners couldn't do enough for us
Jackie
There were no details for collection of the keys so we had to knock at the owner's door on arrival he was so helpful and kind. The cottage was lovely in a beautiful setting and sitting out in the hot tub was so relaxing. It was very spacious and well kitted out although a mirror in the downstairs bedroom would be good Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the property and location to anyone
The cottage was immaculate, very comfortable and had all the basic elements. Farmer was very friendly and the local walks and area stunning. We will definitely be back.
Dennis
The Garden was NOT fully enclosed . Kitchen and Fridge Doors Dirty finger marks Oven dirty Not enough Crockery if a cottage sleeps 4 their should be 8 of every thing . Not enough cooking crockery Bowles Jugs Microwave dishes etc. No Wifi Code .No Wifi at all. I doubt there every was any ! No Cottage information File . The Cottage looked Shabby and Uncared for. I think you should inspect this Cottage Again.
Lovely stay at threave cottage we have visited several times now . Comfy homely cottage in a relaxing peaceful setting. Hot tub a nice addition . Being in the farm grounds was lovely to see various animals and the children loved feeding the pigs and the chickens the chickens came in the garden which was an added bonus for the kids getting up close. Looking forward to staying again next year

Upon arrival the knifes were all blunt , no scissors and there was no clothes horse for drying the clothes. The next day they supplied these. However here are the issues that existed 1. No egg cups 2.No salt and pepper 3. The bed pillows had large mould marks on them in the master bedroom photos can be supplied 4. The upstairs bathroom needed a new bulb as the light flickered consistently. I did request this but to no avail 5. Two of the cooker knobs were severely melted which made it difficult to adjust the settings. 6. The washing machine leaked as there was a consistent patch of water in front of it. 7. The recycling bins were too small, only one of each for the whole set of cottages. 8. In the description of the cottage it states that the internet service is not good. There was no internet whatsoever during our stay.
Aileen

Fridge was sometimes difficult to open. It would be nice if there was a path down to the estuary.Bit sparce on equipment .otherwise all was super
We had a lovely weekend in this lovely cottage in dalbeattie. It was clean and nicely furnished with good outside space and very handy for travelling to dalbeattie or the solway coast. Would definitely recommend this cottage for anyone wanting to explore this part of the country!
Fantastic family holiday . Cottage was clean and spacious . Very basic kitchen utensils as expected but enough to be able to make meals each day . The hot tub was a major hit with the family . Loved seeing all the farm animals too. Will defiantly be coming back . Even though it rained every day but one we had a wonderful relaxing family break.
Rachel
I have stayed at meiklebob before, maybe 4 years ago and this experience though still good, did not quite measure up to expectations based on my previous stay. Disappointed that there was no hand soap at any sink in the cottage, and I thought the fact that the kitchen didn't have a chopping board was really poor. Other than this, we still had a great time.
Oliver
The cottage could have done with some more cutlery Tin Openers and so on. Maybe a Welcome pack with some Dishwasher tablets & More toilet roll. Other than that we enjoyed our stay very much.

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.

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.

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD

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...
