  What a wonderful place to stay!

  A very well equipped, comfortable cottage, with a lovely view of hills and a large pond. Everything you could ever need for a holiday base. The hot tub is a fabulous bonus, we were star gazing in that most evenings. The pool table was fun too, we had not played pool for years. There are many good books to read, sky TV, all you want if the weather is bad and you wanted to cozy up indoors. The lodge is very stylish and warm, but you also have the benefit of a wood burning stove for those chillier evenings. It is a very short drive to the shops in Castle Douglas.Threave castle and gardens is nearby. You take a boat ride to the castle, which is unique. Another great castle to visit is Caerlaverock castle, it has an unusual design. There are lovely woodland walks in Dalbeattie forest to Kippford Bay, which is a nice place to visit. There's a great pub restaurant (The Anchor Hotel) which serves fantastic food. A must do is feeding the wild goats and red deer, we took several kilos of carrots and they were gone within minutes. Hahaa Logan's fish pond is a unique place to visit, and Logan's Botanical Gardens is amazing! The Wood of Cree is another beautiful place to visit, with lots of waterfalls. Walks around Glen Trool, Kirroughtree, Clatteringshaws Loch are wonderful. Of course you can walk up the Merrick, if you are fit enough. A drive down Raiders road is good if you want a nice forest drive. Stinchar falls is another nice walk to a waterfall. There are many waterfalls to discover in the Galloway, if that is your thing. Eskrigg nature reserve is a great place for bird watching and looking out for red squirrel. There's so much to do in the Galloway, a week simply isn't long enough. We will definitely stay at Hardhills Cottage when we next return to the Galloway, I doubt you could wish for a more lovely place to stay. Thank you.

  This holiday cottage is absolutely fabulous, it looks a generous size in the advertised photos, but in reality it's huge!

  . It is finished to a very high standard, the owners have created an absolute gem. The logburner with unlimited logs was so cosy every night, not that we needed it really, as the underfloor heating kept the property comfortably warm, especially in the conservatory where the heat in the floor was addictive! A perfect reading room!. The pool table was great, and a stash of games and books will make sure you don't get bored if the weather keeps you indoors. The decking which surrounds 2 sides of the property is of a high end finish also, and the hot tub which sits on it is private and only overlooked by a few sheep and wonderful rolling countryside. It gave us countless hours of relaxation. I would recommend a holiday in Hardhills Cottage to anyone. Thankyou Ewen and Shelagh.

  I spent ALL day trying to get hold of the owner to get a key number only to find he was in Turkey.

  Don't you know when owners are away, if not why not, we could of been given an alternative number. Why is it so difficult to get in touch with yourselves by phone, not everybody has whats app, you don't even have a phone number on your web site had to find it on google. Very frustrated holiday people The travel instructions are wrong at the last instant, you do not turn left onto B727 (which isn't signed) you go 50 yds past B727 then turn right into the cottage driveway. Very noisy traffic mainly HGV's at night even with the windows shut. On the plus side the people I did speak to were very helpful

  Lovely cottage, beautifully presented.

  Very cozy and warm, perfect for a winter break. Nicely thought out accommodation with everything you could need. Location was very good with access to Castle Douglas and it's shops and restaurants only 5 minutes away. When you have been out for the day there is a hot tub with great views of the countryside or at night weather permitting starry skies. We had a great time at Hardhills Cottage and would thoroughly recommend this stylishly renovated property to anyone looking for a break in this area.

  We had a wonderful 5 days at Hardhills Cottage.

  Scenery was stunning, the cottage was beautifully presented and immaculate. The beds are super comfy. We loved the conservatory for stargazing at night. The view was out of this world. The cottage is so peaceful and comfortable. The log fire is amazing at night to put on, nothing beats it. Hot tub was fantastic and again the views are breath taking whilst taking a dip. We would definitely go back. The children are already asking us for a return visit. 10/10 would highly recommend.
