“This is a beautiful renovated ...”

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.

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.

“A lovely comfortable cottage and ...”

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.

“Gled Cottage is beautiful, highest ...”

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.

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.

“Comfortable cottage”

We rented this cottage for a week in May 2015 and found it to be beautifully renovated, comfortable and very clean. There was a welcome pack of tea, coffee, sugar, milk, eggs and biscuits which was a very pleasant surprise. There were only the two of us so we slept in the downstairs bedroom, although there were two more bedrooms upstairs. Probably the only criticism I would have is that there was only one bedside light and no hanging space for clothes in this room. I can understand the reason for this, however, as the big king size bed can be separated into two single beds which would leave no room for more than one bedside table and certainly no room for a wardrobe. There was a good sized chest of drawers which had to suffice unless you wanted to walk upstairs every time you needed something from a wardrobe. The location within the village was good but we were a little underwhelmed by the facilities in the area. There wasn't as much to see and do as we had hoped to find in this area. Nevertheless, the cottage itself was wonderful with possibly the only improvement being the addition of an electric clothes dryer for those travellers from overseas, like us, who have limited baggage and have wet weather to contend with.

Creetown, originally called Ferrytown of Cree, is a small town in the Dumfries and Galloway region of south west Scotland. The town was once a fishing village and is now perhaps best known for being the centre of filming for The Wicker Man and also for its Country Music Festival.

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.
