A fantastic cottage that is very peaceful and with a great view. It is very well equipped and comfy and has everything you could need. We really appreciated the attention to little details, from the chargers by the bed to the extra bird seed. We found the history and photos on the renovations very interesting.

Lovely cottage, spotlessly clean and beautifully appointed. Enjoyed browsing the books, dvds, cds and watching the birds in the garden.

Had a fabulous holiday at the Clachan Bothy. It was bigger than we expected and everything was just perfect. Felt like we were in the middle of nowhere when we were actually only about 6 miles outside Dumfries. Our dog Jake just loved the enclosed garden. Hopefully we get to return later in the year.
