Perfect

Excellent all round! Cottage and location - tucked into the peaceful countryside. Contemporary decor but still a cosy and welcoming space with lovely views of green hills. We had everything we needed and Charles couldn’t have been more helpful! We even saw the promised deer and little resident vole!

A lovely cottage.

A lovely family break to get away and relax. The cottage was perfect and just what we needed for a cozy getaway. It was plenty big enough for two adults and two teenage children to have the space they needed. The small kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, we even made pancakes on Shrove Tuesday! We would highly recommend this cottage we had a lovely relaxing time and explored the nearby towns and distilleries.

Excellent Cottage

This is a lovely, peaceful cottage, ideal for couples or families. There is plenty to do close by but you definitely need a car. Lots of beaches to visit. Check venues before you go, as a few were not open. Overall a lovely peaceful holiday.

Just lovely!

We enjoyed our stay at Burnside immensely. The cottage was very well equipped and very cosy and the perfect place to return to after a day exploring the beautiful surrounding areas. We saw deer and hares in the garden a few times which was exciting. Weather was good too. We will definitely consider returning next year.

Pretty much perfection...

This gave us everything we were looking for. The cottage itself is well kitted out, and has everything that is needed, but the quiet county location is perfect. Sited near the main road, but not close enough to be bothered by traffic noise, so you can get out and about easily, there are also walks from the door so that you can just leave the car and head out for the day.

Fantastic property

My family and I have just enjoyed a wonderful week at Burnside cottage.It was just lovely. There's nothing the owners haven't thought of.The cottage was so well equipped from cooking in the lovely kitchen, games night, movie night, bedding, towels etc absolutely everything was top quality and available. The owners have also taken the time to put together a very compact folder, containing everything you could want to know about the area, things to do near by, directions etc We all had a fantastic week and will definitely return. Thank you.

Wonderful property

Wonderful first stay in Scotland . The cottage is warm , welcoming, clean and has everything you need and more for a comfortable stay. It is in a fairly remote position with just a couple of properties in eyesight . So if your looking to engage with nature then this ideal . During our stay we woke every morning to 3 deer at the front of the property, we observed birds building their nests in the nesting boxes and watched various species of birds around the property. The cottage is an excellent base to explore the surrounding area such as the White Loch , Drumclodden stones and Port William all in walking distance . We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage . Charles the owner left all the information for the property and places of interest nearby . We would definitely like to revisit in the near future . Thank you Charles for a lovely stay

A quiet retreat

This cottage is in a quiet location a few miles from Port William.There are no other dwellings nearby, except a farm further along the lane. We saw a small group of deer twice in the garden in the early morning. The cottage is warm, comfortable and well equipped. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived. The host was friendly and helpful both before and after our stay. Dumfries and Galloway is an excellent area to holiday in. It is quiet and unspoilt, with woods, waterfalls, coastal walks and beaches. We saw grey seals and many birds, including gannets, egrets, herons, curlews, a peregrine falcon, red kites and buzzards. We would be happy to return to both the cottage and the area.

Quiet location and very cosy cottage. Very easy to communicate with hosts. Manual with cottage info and walks, beaches, sights and restaurant suggestions very helpful. Bathroom (particularly the shower) could do with updating and dining chairs need replacing. But overall a very relaxing and enjoyable visit

The cottage was a perfect place to sty for our family of 5 - a great space, warm and well equipped. Galloway is beautiful, with loads to do, and we really appreciated the big information booklet which had ideas of walks, places to go and eat - a nice touch.
