"Had a super stay at your little cottage which really does have the Southern Upland Way on the doorstep!"
Excellent facilities for such a small place although we did have to hunt down toilet roll on our first day! The log burner is so cosy. The only disadvantage for us was the space around the bed which was a bit awkward to manoeuvre around due to my disability. Would definitely stay again :-)

"It was a very warm and comfortable place as a base for our walks."
It was really clean and well stocked with crockery etc. if you like decent coffee take your own aero press or cafetière as there is nothing there to make coffee. The fully and safely enclosed garden was excellent for our wee dog. Great WiFi. A truly homely base from which to enjoy local walking.

"A great little cottage, but the furniture is tired and the vacuum cleaner could do with being updated."
The location is fab, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life in a charming quiet village with amenities and just a car drive away from Castle Douglas for further shopping needs. WI-FI could be a bit hit and miss at times.
Would visit again though

"An excellent cottage well placed for walking and cycling with lovely views to the big hills from the back garden and kitchen."
The friendly village has local shops covering your needs and a self-service petrol station. While the bedroom is a bit narrow, it has plenty of wardrobe space; and the kitchen is very well appointed.

"Edgehill is a very nice cosy cottage in a great location for exploring Galloway."
The cottage is very well equipped and has a log burner for cold nights. There are lovely views from the back garden which is also enclosed with seating for eating outside. We would recommend Edgehill for couples looking for a good base for walking and cycling.

"The scenery was amazing."
Was very pleasantly surprised there was a washer drier in the cottage. The people were very friendly. Suggest if you want to dine in The Clachan pub you book very early before you arrive as we could not get a table. Our dogs loved the secure back garden.

"A lovely cottage to relax and unwind in - everything we needed and more."
Beautiful birdsong but watch out for the gnats at dusk! There is now a washer dryer fitted and dark carpet throughout - much better for us dog owners but the hoover is not really up to the job! Well positioned for the coast and local towns but essentials available in the village at the post office and garage. There is also a bottle bank in the village next door to the school and lovely free range eggs for sale outside house opposite it. Information files at cottage very helpful and some interesting books. The bed is tight to get in and out of but comfy once you are settled. Sofa didn't provide much back support and is getting a little tired, however the shower is fantastic! We will be back at some point!

It is situated in a quiet location and has a spacious rear garden, with trees and shrubs which all help to make it ideal for relaxing on fine days.
We went to celebrate our 57th Wedding Anniversary and really chill out.
This property allowed us to achieve that, perfectly!

"The cottage was very well organised and equipped."
Having rented many holiday cottages over the decades I have experienced places that vary from barely adequate to superb, but rarely are they so well equipped and with clear instructions for the appliances and local information. Often it is a mystery as to how to operate some weird domestic appliance, or there is a strange mish mash of kitchen utensils, but not at Edge Hill which had a properly equipped kitchen and clear instructions for everything. Also, nice touches like having the Ordnance Survey maps available.

"Great location for walking and kitchen equipped with everything you could need."
Biscuits were a lovely touch and great to have plenty cleaning materials. Also good to have a dog friendly property were our dog was allowed on the sofa (with blankets to protect it).

"Handy location for my activities at Forest Lodge where I needed to come and got at random times and have food preparation facilities."
Didn't have chance to use the log burner due to being out most of the time so not worth lighting the fire, but noticed that although there were a reasonable number of logs there was no spare kindling for a second fire if I had used it. Thankfully the storage heaters just about kept enough warmth in he cottage to allow me to be reasonable comfortable in the cold weather.
Only real issue was that the bedroom was rather cramped and I found it impossible to walk down the side of the bed especially with arthritic knees and being a large person.
I ended up having to move the bed to one side to increase the space on the other side so that I could squeeze into and out of the bed.
In general the cottage was good for my purposes and I am probably looking to book it again for next year - just sad to notice a sizeable price rise for next year.

"I feel this cottage is overpriced."
The bedroom is exactly as pictured and described. Too small for comfort and bordering on claustrophobic. Some issues with cleaning - a stained toilet bowl in a new bathroom (which I was able to clean with the cleansers provided). The cooker was greasy inside and bedroom windowsill thick with dust (this may be because it’s really hard to get down the side of the bed). A pint of milk on arrival would have been lovely for us strangers to the area (lots of tea and coffee left). It didn’t spoil our holiday and we’ve had a lovely week. The cottage has a great range of equipment, the garden is wonderful for dog owners and the location fine for access to the Southern Upland Way.

The couch was ok but I'd prefer a higher back for neck support. Having said that a bed settee was a bonus. Altogether a great Sykes cottage as usual.

"Cottage would be better and more sensibly equipped with a washer/drier as opposed to having a dishwasher."
The cottage is for a couple whom should hardly generate a lot of dishes. However if you are there for a week or longer it would be so handy to have a washing machine. Despite this, was our second visit to the cottage and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Cottage was well equipped having everything you need to make a home cooked dinner, the walking guides and OS maps were great, a thoughtful touch! Very dog friendly, our dog really enjoyed his stay too. You could tell a lot of thought went into the making of this holiday cottage. The only minor for us was the bed was firmer than we would habe liked, but this is down to personal taste.

"Excellent well equipped cottage in a good location."
It felt very safe and the people were very friendly. The property contained lots of tourist information regarding sightseeing in the surrounding area which was very helpful. There was a pub with a restaurant serving superb, reasonably-priced food within easy walking distance - The Clachan Arms. Our only negative comment was that we found the bed too firm for our liking but this did not detract from a most enjoyable stay.
