    Everything was perfect

    A fabulous little gem in an amazing valley with 360 views. Jeannot and Fraser were very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Facilities are ample. Comfortable bed. Heating by radiators. BBQ facilities and wood are supplied. A beautiful bathroom, fabulous bath for a soak after a day hiking. DVD player. Books. Great if it rains when you’re there. Plenty of walks close by. And by night you are able to sit under the stars and amaze at their beauty.

    Nothing bad to say

    Fantastic hosts, very friendly and helpful. The cabin was beautiful and perfectly located for a weekend away from the world. I unplugged myself and took in all that nature had to offer. I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants a few days away from the world. It is also a great location for anyone interested in Astrophotography, as it is in the middle of a dark skies area.

    Nothing. Perfect

    Amazing location - heart of the Galloway Forest. The cabin offered a well-equipped wooden home - had everything you need, small cooking area and fully furnished. Loved the bathroom! Roll top bath and spacious luxury. Peaceful setting - and oh my! The night sky views were wonderful! Loved using the fire pit to cook dinner on. Jeannot and Frazer were wonderful hosts who could do no more for us. Utterly wow!

    Nothing, everything was exceptional. Way better than what we expected.

    Very cozy, quiet, clean and well kept. A cabin truly in the middle of the Galloway Forest. A high car is recommended, as the access road is quite rough. You will be actually in the nature, not just outside a town in a village. The cabin is also warm and with plenty of elecrticity sockets, so if you get caught by very heavy rain and you get wet, you'll be able to dry yourself up easily. The owners are beautiful people, super helpful, they provide great indications where to go visit or buy groceries. They also live in the same lot, so you'll have privacy because they're quite far and not in sight, but also someone to refer to should you have issues. There's no better host you could hope for.

    Very helpful host -it was easy to find the property with the instructions. The location was beautiful and the lodge though compact, was extremely well designed. The bathroom felt spacious and comfortable, with some lovely touches of luxury. Even though it rained for some of our short stay, we were happy just spending time in the lodge. The walks we did do, were in beautiful scenery. If you're looking for peace and quiet, in a beautiful location, we would highly recommend it.

    Cosy, comfy & well considered

    Really pushed to find a fault, but maybe some covered bike storage for when its really heavy rain. But then again, we should have thought to bring bike covers. That's it.

    Cosy and comfy. The cabin is well decorated, furniture and storage are well considered. An ideal getaway with walking and cycling tracks close by. Note: Route 07 of Gravel Rides Scotland book goes right past the front gate (at the blue postbox), so you can join onto this circular route. Really appreciated the bath after that day of cycling! As there's no WIFI, we downloaded some TV shows and podcasts to our tablet in advance and we had books to read. There is a DVD player if you want to bring some DVDs. Loved being on a farm and location was a great balance of feeling that you were getting away, but not too remote and isolated. We did 100% self-catering (used the Sainsburys in Newton Stewart) – there's a fridge, gas hob and toaster so have a think about what how you're going to cook things. We had 3 dinners – steak, tortellini pasta and then after our cycle, breakfast for dinner. Would definitely recommend and book it again, maybe in better weather so we could use outside seating and firepit.

    Midges was not warned. Directions from the app were wrong. Tough terrain to get to cabin for a city car. Again not explained. It was not as clean as I would have expected. I could write my name in the dust under the bed. The water in the property was brown and murky.

    Peace and quiet. Slept well both nights
