Guest Comments

'Helen's house was the perfect location for cycling at Kirroughtree just outside Newton Stewart and was a lovely warm house to come back to every day. Comfortable beds, lovely kitchen with lovely view of the river and lovely garden and just round the corner from good pub/restaurant and supermarkets. We had a great week.' Leona, April 2017

'We had a fantastic stay at Hazelbank House. The house was immaculate and in a great location for local shops and a really lovely pub (staff were SO friendly!) serving quality food and offering open fires and a chap playing the bagpipes! The perfect pub! The River Cree that runs along the bottom of the garden is stunning in the sunlight. It's a pretty village and close to lots of beautiful walks and scenery. Galloway Forest Park was a real treat. We didn't manage the dark skies this year as we had the toddler with us. The forest in the daylight is really beautiful and there's plenty to explore. We stayed there over the New Year period and Helen was generous with her communications with me, despite being in Oxford at the time. The house had everything we needed, including a well equipped kitchen which was perfect as we wanted to cook most meals at home. We had a dog with us and a toddler but it didn't feel cramped at all. The house is nicely spaced out and on one floor which was perfect as it was safe for the toddler. This place is a real bargain! Perfect for families.' Mary, Jan 2017

'Hazelbank is a beautiful cottage surrounded by well maintained gardens over looking the River Cree. Our host was fabulous and accommodated our every need and ensured we had a pleasant stay. The location is perfect for all amenities and is great for those days out on the mountain bikes. Thoroughly enjoyed our pre Easter stay and is a real home from home whilst we work in the local area.'
