“Very well appointed, comfortable cottage”

- Mr Burston, May 2019
Mrs Theobald May 2019

“This is a wonderful holiday area, lots to do and see but still possible to find secluded bays and beaches.”

Woodland walks are wonderful, so much wildlife to watch and again so quiet and peaceful. We also found plenty of really good places to eat and shop. The cottage was well up to standard, very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Even the weather was brilliant.

- Mrs Theobald, May 2019
Mrs Cochrane March 2019

“Had a great time at Gled Cottage; it was all it described itself as being and more.”

The cottage has excellent facilities and everything you could wish for as a holiday home including bowls, beds and towels for my dogs, it was very warm and cosy as was it's host Karen who met me upon my arrival explaining everything I needed to know about the cottage - microwave, TV, log burner, washer etc, including maps and directions for lots of dog walks in the area. Places to visit with dogs include Mossyard beach, Kirroughtree forest, Balloch woods and Galloway Forest Park - virtually all on the doorstep or just a short drive away. Everyone in the village is very friendly and ready to answer any questions about the area and where to go for a "day out". Thank you for a wonderful stay and hope to return in the not too distant future. :)

Mr Hailstones October 2018

Mr O Brien September 2018

“Great cottage Karen the owner was there to meet us to run through everything and left us a lovely welcome pack”

- Mr O Brien, September 2018
Mrs Leitch July 2018

“This is a beautiful renovated cottage with large garden, summerhouse and barbecue.”

Karen catered for all our needs, even the dog’s. I would highly recommend this cottage. Places we visited were Laggan Outdoor Centre, Mossyard Beach and Galloway Creamery. On the day that it rained we used Castle Cary heated indoor swimming pool £1.20 for children and £1.80 for adults.

- Mrs Leitch, July 2018
Mrs Plain June 2018

“The owner met us and showed us round and could not have been more helpful.”

Lovely cottage with lots of extra touches to make you feel at home. Great area with lots to do. Will hopefully be back sometime in the future.

- Mrs Plain, June 2018
Mrs Eaton June 2018

“Loved this cottage, went to the cottage next door Kinnen Cottage last year which is equally as nice but now got 2 dogs and Gled Cottage is dog friendly, beautiful cottage, home from home, the owner Karen is really friendly and gave us invaluable beach recommendations and left us dog beds + bowls which cut down on our luggage, lovely places to visit round about and we love the peace and quiet of Creetown, would thoroughly recommend it!”

- Mrs Eaton, June 2018
Mrs Ashcroft May 2018

“Our cottage ( Gled Cottage , Creetown ) was excellent and v good value for money .”

Spotlessly clean with lots of nice personal touches . In a good location for visiting the wider area .

- Mrs Ashcroft, May 2018
Mr Fearnley May 2018

“A lovely comfortable cottage and very helpful host.”

Also a beautiful sunny garden with summerhouse and very handy clothesline. Karen left us a useful and thoughtful welcome pack and it was nice to have detergent and softener provided for the washing machine too. We were also left some dog towels to use and dog bowls, and Karen would have provided a dog bed if we'd needed it. So handy not to have to load the car up with these extras. The area itself was beautiful, so many lovely places to see, we ran out of days before seeing all we wanted to, we hope to return one day.

- Mr Fearnley, May 2018
Mrs Briggs May 2018

“Gled Cottage is beautiful, highest quality from oak flooring to top grade bed linen.”

There was every imaginable kitchen items, I can't speak highly enough about the cleanliness and lovely touches like the welcome pack. Karen is an amazing owner, there was nothing too much trouble. My Golden Retriever was made more than welcome. The one drawback I found was the essential need for own transport. Creetown is a lovely little village (600) population. No restaurants to visit for a nice evening meal, no nice designer shops to browse around. The Lairds Inn which is about a 20 minute walk from the cottage is adequate for a drink and pub lunch, they are also dog friendly. But not for an evening meal in my opinion.

- Mrs Briggs, May 2018
Mrs Walker April 2018

“The cottage was immaculate and very comfortable.”

Karen was extremely helpful. Everything was there to make a superb holiday .

- Mrs Walker, April 2018
Mr Wallace June 2017

“Great facilities and an excellent location, plenty to see and do around the area.”

The cottage is a credit to the owners Karen and Jamie. Would stay here again sometime.

- Mr Wallace, June 2017
Mrs Burgess October 2016

“Very friendly welcome by the owner Karen, very high standard of cleanliness and facilities.”

- Mrs Burgess, October 2016
Mrs Nunn September 2016

“The owner was really helpful and the cottage was excellent.”

There was even bird food provided to feed the birds while we were there and rhubarb to eat from the garden. We had a super week exploring this beautiful area.

- Mrs Nunn, September 2016
Mrs Firth May 2016

A very warm welcome from the owner who could not have been more helpful.

- Mrs Firth, May 2016

Mrs Rose December 2015

The bed was very comfortable as were the sofas. Highly recommend a stay at the beautiful Cottage.

- Mrs Daniels, September 2015
Mr Cullen September 2015

“The cottage was spacious and had a first class standard of fittings and decoration.”

The underfloor heating kept the rooms at an even temp day and night and if wanted there was also a log burning fire. The kitchen was well equipped and fitted out to a high standard. Everything about the cottage was first class. A great base for exploring Galloway.

- Mr Cullen, September 2015
Mr Johnston August 2015

“The cottage was comfortable, well appointed and certainly not a typical cottage in that it was spacious, light and with high ceilings.”

- Mr Johnston, August 2015
Mrs Notman June 2015

- Mrs Notman, June 2015
Ms Cornick May 2015

“A great cottage in a very convenient location to explore Dumfries and Galloway.”

- Ms Cornick, May 2015
Mr Reeves February 2015

“A fantastically well appointed cottage.”

Obviously spent a lot of time and money on this cottage and this is shown in the high standard of finish. The underfloor heating was very effective with the added bonus of a log burning stove which we put to good use. The super king size bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was excellent with a really good shower. In a nice quiet location on the edge of the Galloway Forest. We couldn't fault anything to do with Gled Cottage.

- Mr Reeves, February 2015
Mrs Taylor December 2014

“Gled Cottage was excellent; modern comfortable décor and furnishings, big comfy beds, huge bathroom, impeccably clean and a beautiful garden.”

There were 5 of us in our party and there was plenty of space.

- Mrs Taylor, December 2014
Ms Pain December 2014

“The owner was extremely helpful and could not have given us a warmer welcome.”

The little extras were a lovely surprise and very welcome. The cottage was immaculate, extremely well finished and very cosy. A lovely place to come back to and we would certainly book the same cottage again. A great location for those wishing to watch wildlife or go walking in Dumfries and Galloway.

- Ms Pain, December 2014
Mr Kerr November 2014

“Lovely cottage with excellent facilities.”

Ideal base for exploring the South West area of Scotland.

- Mr Kerr, November 2014
Mr Smith October 2014

“The owner has done a 5 star job in renovating this cottage.”

Beautifully decorated, very good quality fixtures and fittings throughout, very well equipped kitchen and it was warm & very clean. She has thought of everything you could possibly need and more. Also she was so friendly and welcoming. The cottage felt so comfortable just like being at home.

- Mr Smith, October 2014

We were very sad to leave.

- Mrs Wagstaff, August 2014
Mr Crilly June 2014

“We have used Sykes on many occasions so we are aware of the quality properties they promote.”

Certainly Gled Cottage is up there with the best of them. Owner there to welcome us on arrival and show us around the property. Substantial welcome pack supplied. Lovely decor and furnished to a high standard. Lovely garden.

Lovely location & scenery.

- Mrs Bird, May 2014
Ms Curwen April 2014

“A beautiful cottage in an excellent location.”

Central for visiting many of the attractions in Dumfries and Galloway. The cottage was well equipped and every small detail considered to make our stay comfortable and stress free. Lovely garden, we had breakfast there each morning as the weather was good.

- Ms Curwen, April 2014
Mr Ford March 2014

“It was deceptively large, extremely comfortable and finished to a very high standard.”

The cottage felt like home, rather than a holiday rental, with all the comforts you'd want and more. We really enjoyed our short break in Gled Cottage and I can't recommend it highly enough.

- Mr Ford, March 2014
Ms Anderson-foster September 2013

“The standard of the refurb was excellent.”

Whilst modern it was very warm and welcoming.

Situated just south of Creetown is the Galloway Forest Park with over three hundred square miles of beautiful scenery, world class mountain bike trails and the first Dark Sky Park in the UK.
