"First class accommodation set in scenic, tranquil surroundings."
Plenty of places to walk both from the cottage and further afield with a variety of castles and others attractions within an hour's drive. Thank you Sarah for making us so welcome. Hope to be back again before long.

"My wife and I spent a very enjoyable time at The Stables."
Its location was wonderful being situated in the grounds of a country house. The walks were very restful, an ideal location in which to spend our wedding anniversary. The Stables was very comfortable, tastefully decorated, clean with a sense of peace permeating through the property. The four hares running around the field to the rear of the house was an added bonus. I have no hesitation in recommending The Stables.

"We had a lovely stay, the property had everything we needed, and lovely to be able to walk on the estate which is immaculate."
Just a short drive to Dumfries, which was handy. Sarah was lovely, and great to know she was on hand if we needed her. Hope to return soon!

"A wonderful stay at the Stables!"
We stayed with our 18 month old son who loved staying on the estate and seeing the cows out of the back every morning. Thank you Sarah - the place was immaculate and so cosy and comfortable. We will definitely be recommending to friends and family.

Surrounding views beautiful. Very quiet and peaceful.

"An excellent cottage, especially the little garden, and so nice to meet Sarah again."
Sadly we couldn't find the bin for empty bottles on leaving and it was really helpful to have the little night lights with the bathroom downstairs.
-
"We found the property to be very comfortable, and beautifully presented with all of the facilities we'd need."
It is a very safe area. The garden is lovely to sit in for breakfast, and faces towards the loch. The shed was perfect for storing our 2 bikes. Great location and ideal for visiting the 7 Stanes, as we did. Would recommend and would visit again.

"Absolutely beautiful rural location with access to the lochs & surrounds as well as having it's own private garden."
The owner is very friendly & helpful. The apartment is spotlessly clean & well appointed with everything you could possibly need. The bed was very comfortable & I appreciated the lovely bird paintings.

"The Stables is a well appointed accommodation guaranteeing a few days stay of comfort and relaxation."
The residents in the area are so friendly and welcoming and the ability to walk around the 5000 acre estate, which includes loughs, woodland, hillside, river banks, grazing land, wildlife and interesting history only adds to the relaxing time enjoyed here. From the point of view of a visitor to the wider area, there are plenty of local attractions with which to acquaint yourself.

The owner was friendly and very helpful,the perfect holiday.

"A beautiful converted cottage within a fabulous estate."
The entrance to the estate gives you a glimpse of what is to come - beautiful manicured grounds with a loch and converted stables with clock tower. The cottage itself was perfectly clean has everything you need and more. The quality and comfort has been well thought out. The owner came to greet us and this was much appreciated. A very relaxing week in beautiful surroundings. Thank you Sarah and team.

"We can only describe this accommodation as an absolute gem."
Set within the grounds of a beautiful well managed country estate, the Stables flat is spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable and a very pleasant property. Sarah (the owner) welcomed us on our arrival and provided us with the information regarding the facilities both in the accommodation, the estate, and the local area. The flat equipped with everything we needed to have a really relaxed and cosy time, with glorious walks in the grounds to add "icing on the cake". We enjoyed ourselves so much that on arrival back home we booked to go back to The Stables for our anniversary in November.

Plenty of walks and bike rides in the area directly from the cottage. The owner came to make sure we were settled in and was very friendly. The cottage itself was very tastefully decorated, comfortable and warm. All you needed in the kitchen. It was quiet and on-site parking. Perfect

The River Nith runs through Dalswinton and the village is also home to a couple of small lochs. On the opposite bank of the river is Charles Jencks magnificent Garden of Cosmic Speculation, which normally opens to the public on just one day of the year. Dumfries is known as the Queen of the South and has history dating back to Roman times. Today it is home to a wide range of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants, as well as a number of traditional festivals throughout the year. To the south of Dumfries is beautiful coastline leading to Gatehouse of Fleet and Newton Stewart, whilst the Galloway Forest Park is just an hour’s drive to the west.
