"Very quirky, beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable home from home. Spotlessly clean, friendly neighbourhood, and an amazing community shop with fantastic staff. Parking was plentiful, either directly outside Stroan or in the free car park down Wylie Brae. Excellent location with lots to do. Walks from the cottage were easy to navigate to, which was great for our German Shepherd Bear."

Beautiful house on private estate with hot tub, nature and adventure.

10/10 Excellent
"House itself is in need if a little TLC Didn't stop us from having a brilliant time here.The "hot tub" has to heated with logs, which are provided, left to heat for about 1 hour before going in. Water is brown, dirty looking, from tap but drinking water is provided. Loved the holiday. Host was very helpful and friendly. Dogs were very friendly as we're the horses and sheep. One thing we did miss were mats in the shower as one of the ladies slipped and fell in shower, gave herself a really sore bottom and back. Overall we Loved it. "

10/10 Excellent
"Our Christmas at the cottage was lovely. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The cottage was so well maintained and clean. Had enough space for our party of 5. There was no wifi but did have weak mobile internet so we got by with that. We actually enjoyed being technology free for a couple of days. Lovely walks with the stream just behind the house was idyllic. The housekeeper was very helpful and was prompt with queries despite it being Christmas holidays. Nearest shops were in Castle Douglas which was about 10-15 mins drive away. Would definitely come again!"
