Keepers Cottage is absolutely stunning. The property has been tastefully renovated and April & John have thought of every possible need for their guests (human and furry ones). From the very well equipped kitchen to the wood fired sauna in the garden. The cottage is in the perfect location for exploring Dumfries & Galloway. Thornhill, the closest small town has everything you could possibly need during your stay. This is our 3rd visit to Keepers Cottage, and I’m sure it won’t be our last! 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ !!

Fantastic cottage to stay in. Cannot fault it. So well equipped and owners have thought of everything. Area is gorgeous and although we had a fair bit of rain we still enjoyed the walking with our furry friends. Thank you for a wonderful holiday and will definitely return.

We absolutely loved our stay in Keepers Cottage. The cottage has been extensively refurbished to a high standard and everything has been considered. We’ve never stayed in such a well equipped kitchen. Before we arrived we received so much information from April about the cottage and ideas for days out and eateries allowing us to pre plan a little. An amazing welcome pack greeted us and we made the most of the garden and sauna too. We loved the location of the cottage surrounded by stunning scenery and rolling hills.
