Great for wheelchair users, a lovely space with lots of natural light, but lots of 'quirks'! Don't leave your clothes on the floor while you shower or they'll float out the door and make sure you sit on the plug if you have a bath or you'll be dry cleaned instead!

Nice, comfortable place to stay, with some great places to visit quite close by. The owners were lovely, and quickly fixed an issue with the door reported on arrival.

A lovely cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Great hosts with excellent staff who are all attentive and friendly. It is dog friendly, a great location for our furry friends and wipeable flooring throughout, so you don't have to worry about muddy paws after a stroll along the river; convenient utility allows for a clean up.

Stunning location, not much around unless you like and are capable of walking. Lovely food from a hotel down the road. The cottage dies need a deep clean, I understand it is dog friendly but shouldn't be the way it was. We had to buy bleach and clean the bathroom as the drain for the shower was black. If cleaned it would have been a wonderful stay.Read more We took our grandma who is unable to walk and the cottage was ideal but nothing much in the area to take her too. Hide

Cottage can do with a deep clean, lots of cobwebs and a damp smell throughout. Had problems with both doors sticking and key sticking in the lock. Noisy fridge due to door missing from ice box. Mattresses on single beds hard and uncomfortable. Beautiful location beside the river and 5 mins from Sanqhuar which was definitely a plus.

Lovely quiet riverside location. The cottage is spacious and comfortable and the riverside walk was perfect for exercising our border collie. We can thoroughly recommend the hotel restaurant which is superb. The area is great for exploring.
