  Extremely well equipped, lovely cottage in a quiet edge of village setting.

  Southern Upland Way passes right by the door. Nice touch on arrival; milk, teabags and biscuits provided and much appreciated. Rear garden gravelled throughout with table and chairs to enjoy the view. Bedroom is a little narrow as described and care is needed. Kitchen has everything for a comfortable stay. Placement of the toilet roll holder made us smile, located on the wall behind the toilet. For convenience, suggest moving it to the wall opposite, next to the radiator. We didn't use the wood burning stove in the lounge, but can see others may appreciate it. Cold times of the year however, may require adjustment of the electric heating timings. Overall a very pleasant stay and would not hesitate to recommend the cottage. Plenty of interest in the area to keep visitors entertained. Thanks for the stay from Anne, Stephen and the dogs.

  We were made very welcome with milk & biscuits both fir humans & dogs.

  Sofa large & comfortable. Nice sized garden with good seating area & table, south facing & the weather was very hot so well used. Great shower, ample towels. I know the listing made it quite clear the bedroom was narrow but the bed frame sticks out so on the first night I managed to bash my shin and because the weather was warm it was like sleeping in a shoe box. But the worse thing was the sheet, thick & woolly, really uncomfortable. (Probably due to the unusual heatwave). There is no door between the kitchen & lounge either so it was difficult to get the dogs to sleep in their beds in the kitchen. Having said all that we did have a lovely week, the kitchen was great, lounge really comfy, good porch to dump your walking stuff. Nice sized garden with interest for the dogs & great shower.

  Edge Hill is a super little cottage, it is spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable.

  It is the perfect base for visiting Galloway and surrounding area. The bed is comfortable, the bed is tight in the bedroom, as shown by the photos but dont think a lot can be done about that. I hit my toes on bed leg as I was getting into bed and it hurts but I learnt to be careful lol. I wanted for nothing more in the kitchen, everything was there. We visited both The Clachen and Lochinvar Hotel both were excellent. We went to see The Red Deer Range and fed the deers (they love carrots) and saw the Wild Goats. Raiders Road and Otters Pool well worth a visit. Also as a Liverpool supporter went to Glen Buck where Bill Shankly was born. Would we come back to Edge Hill.....you bet we would. Thank you for the treats you left us.

  This is a really lovely house located in one of our favourite spots in Dumfries and Galloway. The house has been really tastefully decorated and the owners have taken care to think of all the things you might need. Everything has been done to a high standard and the beds are really comfortable. As a family with a dog we loved the big back garden. The kids enjoyed being able to play badminton and the dog loved all the space to run about. The weather wasn’t great when we were there but was still nice to sit out on the decking and enjoy the view. The village has a nice wee beach and lots of great walks with the dog. The owners were very attentive and gave us their details in case of any problems.

  Lovely property surrounded by stunning views.

  It is also really quiet, not something you'd think being next to the road. Almost everything you could want or need, which many other lets forget or don't include, is there already. The boiler took a couple of days to get used to as it was quite loud, in such a quiet place, at 7am and the towels could have been bigger but these were nothing to spoil our holiday. The property is only the 2nd at Sykes we have stayed at which is accurately listed and really clean and comfortable. Lovely little welcome pack, including some milk to help you make a cuppa on arrival. Colin and Vicky have made this a home from home!
