Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fiona F. 3 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An excellent cottage in a lovely location A perfect week in a peaceful location. The cottage is lovely. Well equipped, clean, good wifi, and lots of communal space for gathering, inside and out (and an amazing DVD collection according to our film buff family member!). Games room and table tennis were great fun in an evening and the large dining table perfect for board games as well as eating. A spacious garden with various seating areas and the icing on the cake-the sauna hot tub. Nothing better than relaxing in the tub with only the sound of the breeze in the trees and the occasional baa! We love DG for its varied, beautiful landscapes and wildlife. So much to do locally and having distilleries and 2nd hand bookshops so close was amazing. ##### Fiona F.
