Perfect Peace

Our stay at Clachan Cottage Anwoth was perfect. The cottage is ideal for 2, is well equipped and furnished and comfortable.The bonus is the beautiful garden shared with the numerous birds that visited the bird table ,including to our delight colourful woodpeckers! Lesley gave us a warm welcome and was very helpful.We appreciated the peace, the walks in lovely countryside, and coastline.The nearby towns of Gatehouse of Fleet, Castle Douglas, and Kircudbright all have something to offer of interest as well as satisfying all our shopping needs.An excellent stay and we hope to return.

Parking

Unfortunately parking was an issue as there was no designated parking at the property it was across the lane on a gravel/grassy area which was an access route to the local farmer. It is a lovely little character property but would benefit from some modernisation without taking away the character. For the price we paid felt it was not value for money..

a wonderful cottage in a great location

Clachan cottage is absolutely charming with a beautiful garden that extends way back and has all sorts of nooks and crannies. the cottage was very comfortable and had all you could need including a great view of the birds feeding at the bird table. Lesley was very helpful and the vase of flowers from the garden was a lovely touch.

An immaculate cottage getaway.

A friendly welcome from Lesley. Such a pretty cottage and amazing garden with ponds and fish. Lots of space inside and we made the most of the sun room watching the birds and red squirrel. So much to do in the area.........many castles and gardens. Castle Kennedy Gardens and Logan Botanic Gardens were highlights. Many sandy beaches close too. A little gem!

Clachan Cottage, a tranquil haven

A pretty little cottage with a stunning garden and perfect silence. Set in a tiny hamlet if you want to be away from everything this is the place. Equipped with everything and a lovely wood burning stove for cooler evenings. The perfect getaway.

First time in Galloway

Really enjoyed our week at this lovely cottage with the most amazing garden. Lesley and Bill were very helpful and recommended places to visit. A very peaceful location , weather good and plenty of local walks with the dog. Nice pubs in Gatehouse with good food and reasonably priced. Would certainly return .

A beautiful location, in stunning surroundings

This beautiful cottage exceeded all of our expectations. Lesley and Bill, the owners, made sure we had everything we needed. It was peaceful, quiet and totally relaxing. The garden was so beautiful; there was so much wildlife, with red squirrels as well as many different types of birds, Such a well kept garden and surroundings, we will definitely be going back 😊

A delightful country cottage in an amazing setting

This is a hidden gem of a holiday cottage. The setting is beautiful and the lovely cottage has everything you need with the added bonus of an amazing garden and doorstep wildlife! Lesley and Bill were the perfect hosts and we were made to feel truly at home. The village of Gatehouse is perfect for holiday makers who like peaceful towns and is nestled in beautiful countryside. There are handy shops and good places to eat. Easy to access the whole of Dumfries and Galloway from this area. This cottage is a must for anyone who loves the countryside, coast, gardens, peace and quiet, dark skies and nature!
