Troloss Lodge

A fantastic week away in Scotland, our first with our rescue dog Rocco.

He loved the secure garden, a big plus for us. The cottage is cozy and has everything you need. I cooked dinner every day and found everything I needed, the shower is powerful with plenty of hot water. The provided fans were a god send and the property kept at a very reasonable temperature. Keith was lovely and nothing is too much trouble. The “care package” left for us on arrival was perfect. Thank you so much!

Our second time at Troloss Lodge .

A lovely clean and comfortable place with everything you need for your stay. It has a nice enclosed garden , safe for our dog to wander in and for us to relax in. Keith the owner is very welcoming, has lots of local information , and provides a generous welcome pack. Drumlanrig Castle is a short drive away with lovely walks available, and there are local dog friendly places within walking distance to eat and drink in. We very much enjoyed our stay and will return again .

We had an amazing holiday everything was perfect.

Keith was a perfect host and had lots of knowledge of the area for dog walk and places to visit. Troloss Lodge was so comfortable, clean and cosy with everything thing we needed. The garden was lovely for the hot weather we had. We will be back.

Spotlessly clean, very comfortable, ideal for walking or touring the area the owners are very friendly as are the villagers

Fabulous house, very comfortable, well equipped and extremely quiet.

Our expectations were delivered on every level giving us a superbly relaxing holiday. Do we have any adverse comments - absolutely not. Looking forward to a return trip in the future to what is, a very picturesque and interesting part of Scotland. Keith (the owner) is an excellent communicator, providing extremely valuable advance information on local road conditions and using his in depth knowledge of local historic sites pointed us in the direction of some truly interesting day trips - all adding to what was already a brilliant holiday. Thank you.

Excellent stay at Troloss Lodge.

The owner sent us a message saying we could get in earlier which was very welcome. The garden was excellent for our dog, with no escape holes so we didn’t have to worry. The property was as described and comfortable. We found the bedroom cosy and slept well. Very good walks in the area. Would recommend.

The property is very clean, with well-heated floors and a radiator.

It has a nice garden as well. The hosts are very sweet and hospitable, and very responsive via text too. It was well-equipped for a long stay, and we really enjoyed staying there for two weeks. A Co-op and SPAR are within walking distance, as well as other cafes in Thornhill.

quiet and peaceful location, lodge cosy and warm, everything you need, excellent and spoilt with the welcome pack, easy walk to village, definitely recommend will be booking again

Troloss was a great little cottage, it had all that we needed for our stay, it is a great compact place on one level.

The under floor heating was brilliant. It was a great base for the places we wanted to visit. The only downside for us, and not anything to do with the property, we like to have the bedroom window open at night, but we had to keep closing it because one of the nearby houses kept letting there noisy dog out in the middle of the night

Troloss Cottage is a little Hidden Gem.

Great location for dog walks just a couple of minutes drive away . Lovely Village where I was very welcomed by the locals. The owner was very helpful, I forgot my Charger leads and Keith went out of his way to make sure I got them which was very much appreciated. Took a walk around the Castle with stunning views and took the drive to Sandyhills beach which was absolutely stunning then dining at The Steamboat Inn the trip was worth it . Would definitely recommend and I will be booking again.

:Lovely little lodge.

Great hosts!! Slight challenge getting into bed as very little room either side of bed, but worth it when you make it as bed very comfortable. Well stocked kitchen and comfortable seating! Very secure garden so our escape artist westie Angus had a great time and we could relax and let him roam. Can thoroughly recommend this property and the surrounding area.

Excellent property.

Spotlessly clean. Fully equipped kitchen. Perfect enclosed garden for the dogs, not even our Lhasa Apso escape artist could find a way out!! Nice sized TV with plenty of channels, perfect for snuggling down with on the rainy days. Cosy with the underfloor heating. Excellent hosts, with an extensive welcome pack on arrival, Thank you. A few minutes walk takes you into the village of Thornhill. Everything you need there...local butcher ( nice pies )..Co- Op, Spar, book shop, Post office etc. I fully recommend this property, with nice area for exploring.

Lovely cottage just a short walk from the village centre with pubs, shop and cafe restaurants.

Very clean and comfortable. The only issue we had was that although there was a good WiFi connection there was no internet access and mobile signal is almost non existent i.e had to go to the door to answer phone calls.

fantastic cottage great location.

the owner was so helpful nothing was too much trouble. would defiantly recommend 5 star......

Excellent host , property had everything we needed for a great stay , beautiful fully enclosed garden for the dog and us to sit out in .

Location was perfect just a few minutes walk into the town with a couple of pubs , cafes , shops to wander around . We found some great walks just short drives away .

We had a lovely week at Troloss Lodge.

The owner Keith was friendly and welcoming with lots of knowledge on local walks. The lodge was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. There was a generous " welcome pack" which included treats for our dog. The garden was well maintained and enclosed , so safe for both us and our dog to enjoy. We enjoyed meals / drinks at the local dog friendly pubs/ restaurants and many walks at the stunning Drumlanrig Castle Estate. We had such a good time that we have already booked again for next year.

This is a really comfortable little cottage in a beautiful town with plenty of walks and things to do locally and further afield.

The owner was very helpful and knowledgeable for things to do in the area

Lovely property exactly as described.

Very clean and tidy with a lovely enclosed private garden area. Keith was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the area and the cottage was ideally situated to explore the region. Will definitely be back.

This was our second visit to Troloss Lodge.

We enjoyed it just as much as the first time. Lodge is clean and homely and has everything needed for a holiday. Welcome pack will get you through the first night but we shop on the way in Dumfries. Bed is comfy. Outside space is fully enclosed and two comfy sun chairs are waiting in the summer box along with other useful bits. We ate on the patio most evenings. Owner Keith is a mine of local information if you need advice on where to visit.

The cottage is PERFECT !

! We had a very relaxing and comfortable week holiday. Just what we needed. Our Labrador loved the garden and we did too! Lovely welcome and welcome pack on arrival which was very much appreciated. We hope to stay again soon and would have no hesitation recommending this great little cottage.

Enjoyed our stay.

Cottage is very clean and comfortable, owner very friendly and helpful, and the welcome package was much appreciated. Also a good location to explore the surrounding area.

Lovely small cottage.

. welcome pack was much appreciated. Dog loved just going out and in off leash.

Clean, well equipped single storey cottage.

Photos do not do it justice. Keith was a great host, greeting us in arrival and had left bread, milk and shortcake biscuits as a welcome pack. Everything you need in the nearby village, pubs, restaurants, butchers, bakery and convenience store, local garage blew our tyre up for us. Secure garden to allow our dog to roam safely under a watchful eye. Comfortable seating, lovely big bed but not much room at either side, as a larger guy I had to proceed carefully getting in and out of bed.

Fabulous little cottage, small but had everything we needed for an cosy, comfortable, relaxed week away.

Nice secure garden which Charlie, our Cocker Spaniel loved. Lots of independent shops in Thornhill. Great location for exploring the Solway coast and the Southern Uplands, or further afield to Ayr, and a wander along tge Esplanade. Lovely walks by the banks of the River Nith

Small but perfectly formed!

This was SO much better than we had anticipated from the photos! A really comfortable and well-stocked holiday home. The owners had thought of everything; the kitchen had everything we needed, bed was comfy, shower was good, and a lovely welcome package. I couldn't recommend more! Thank you so much for our stay!

Troloss Lodge is an extremely well kitted out property, the images do not do it justice.

It was a pleasure to be able to stay here recently, the location was perfect for our travels around the area. The town was really pleasant along with the people. Keith and his wife were superb hosts, we will be returning next year fingers crossed for some more travelling around the area and seeing some bits we missed. Thank you very much indeed!!

Lovely holiday lodge in a perfect setting on the edge of Thornhill .

Well equipped with everything you need for a holiday . As well as having a patio area you have the use of sun loungers and parasol if you wish . The cottage is extremely comfortable and great for having a relaxing time . Of all the cottages I have visited this has to be my favourite just perfect !

Beautiful comfortable cottage in a gorgeous area everything provided for a perfect holiday.

The owners were very welcoming and left us a much appreciated welcome pack, thank you. Would certainly book again if we were visiting Dumfries and Galloway. Shirley and Norman

Absolutely beautiful little cottage.

Comfortable and cosy, with everything you could possibly need. A wonderful welcome pack for us and our small dog. We are new to this type of holiday, having been motorhomers for many years. This is our 4th experience of holiday lets and the very best so far. We have not done South West Scotland very much in the past, we used to mostly tour the highlands and islands in our motorhome, but the Dumfries and Galloway area is beautiful. Highly recommend the Chinese takeaway and the fish and chip shop in Thornhill. I wish we lived nearer to Troloss, we would be there more often, but it's a bit of a trek from South Cheshire! Keith is a lovely friendly and informative man. Highly recommend Troloss Lodge. Enid and David.

Lovely cottage like home from home

Fabulous cottage.

Garden secure for a dog. Good place to use as a base. Lovely hosts. Welcome pack was wonderful. Even the dog was catered for.

We had a wonderful time in this lovely holiday home It was very welcoming, cosy and had everything needed for an enjoyable stay Would like to thank Keith for being a wonderful host and the kind thought of the lovely welcome pack of treats and essentials for ourselves and our dog Josh.

Would recommend anyone to visit this lovely home in this great part of Scotland

A most comfortable, meticulously maintained and clean lodge set amidst the beautiful Lowland scenery.

Keith, the owner, is most welcoming and very willing to offer guidance either via a comprehensive folder and/or verbally. The welcome pack is very welcome and there is adequate shopping within a five minute walk into Thornhill. Locally there are several places to visit of which Drumlanrig Castle 10 mins drive away is excellent for those who like to walk and cycle amidst beautiful forest scenery. Thoroughly recommend Treloss Lodge.

Compact little property, ideal for two with a dog.

Owner very welcoming and helpful. Our fourth visit.

Loved everything.

..that's about it x

Trolls Lodge was a perfect little home from home while visiting relatives in the area.

We were a bit dubious about the underfloor heating but it did the job well, plus there was a little faux log burner so we were warm and cosy despite it being minus seven outside. We had everything we needed, and there were really helpful detailed instructions for everything. We’d definitely stay again.

This was our first time in a holiday cottage, the care package on arrival was very much appreciated, and the cottage was amazing, clean, quiet and friendly owners who left loads of tips and trips for us to look through.

. I would Definetly recommend this little Gem.

Very clean and tidy property with everything required.

Good enclosed garden for our dog to enjoy. Close enough to the town to walk to and plenty of good dog walks nearby. We had a very enjoyable few days break

A beautifully presented little cottage.

Fully equiped for a couple to enjoy a break. A great quiet location yet within short walk to shops, bars and restaurants. A well stocked welcome pack was an unexpected bonus and very much appreciated.

Had a fantastic break at the Troloss Lodge.

Welcome pack was fantastic. Everything you required was provided including sun loungers. Garden 100% secure so our dog couldn’t get out. Shops and restaurants only a few minutes walk away. Brilliant walk through the woods to take your dog. Would definitely recommend .

We had such a lovely time staying at Troloss Lodge.

The property had everything to make it an ideal home from home stay and exceptionally comfortable. Ideally situated to explore the surrounding areas as well as further afield. The owner was always happy to stop for a chat and advise on routes, outings etc. Thornhill is a lovely village with everything we needed to for the week. Thoroughly recommend the local Chinese take away! Dumfries provided the usual culprit shopping experiences, such as Aldi, Lidl, Tesco etc. This was my first visit to Scotland and I wasn't disappointed. Thank you for making our stay such an enjoyable experience. Babs

Lovely surprise to get a message from the owner to say we could get into the accommodation earlier.

Lodge very clean, well maintained and comfortable. Welcome pack much appreciated. Our dog loved the enclosed garden. Although weather very disappointing we still managed to get out and see the area. Owners very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic lodge, booked to allow my wife a week to chill & relax while allowing me time to walk our dog.

This was perfect. At the end of the week we both felt as though we could easily stay 'a few more days'. On arriving you immediately feel at home, with an amazing welcome pack from the owner. My wife particularly appreciated having access to a hair dryer & a fan. The owners are just brilliant, they are available if needed with friendly advice on the area. Anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable, relaxing break, this is a must. Would recommend to anyone & have no hesitation in using again.

Just what we needed peace and tranquility woke every morning to the sound of bird song and the surrounding scenery was absolutely brilliant.

No matter which way you drive it was fantastic . The cottage had everything you needed and the owners couldn’t do enough for you.Also there was loads of information of things to do and the knowledge the owners had you couldn’t go wrong.

Gorgeous, well appointed little property with everything we needed for a wonderful holiday.

Keith, the owner welcomed us and showed us round, nothing was too much trouble, we were grateful for the welcome goodies and thankful for the big fan as it was very hot for the entire stay. Our dog took to sleeping in the cool bathroom! The enclosed garden and comfy chairs were great and so nice for our dog to be so safe. The bed was so comfy and I have already ordered some of the pillows. Lots of information for places to visit or walk nearby. I can't recommend Troloss Lodge enough and look forward to going back.

A quiet, convenient and comfortable base for a week of peak bagging in the Lowther and Carsphairn Hills.

The cottage was very nice and fulfilled our requirements for our stay in Thornhill, everyone was very friendly and welcoming in the town.

We would be happy to stay there again or to recommend to ou friends.

A very comfortable bungalow with a good secure garden for our dog.

Owner friendly and helpful.

Perfect

Wonderful cottage with lots of space for the two of us and our medium dog.

The garden was secure and safe for Odi. The welcome pack covered everything you could think of and the cottage was cosy for February. Location was fab, we loved Thornhill, enjoyed fish and chips and Chinese takeaway. We were able to go for lovely walks straight from the door but also went further afield as well. Owners were friendly, welcoming and helpful. We will definitely rebook!

I had a lovely stay in this very secluded, quiet little cottage and would recommend it to anyone wishing to holiday in Thornhill.

This was our second visit different weather but that didn't matter clean warm ideal place to relax enclosed garden great for our big dog

Well situated, friendly welcome clean one of the best cottages we have ever used

We were made to feel extremely welcome.

The cottage is lovely and homely. Everything you need is happily provided. Communication from owner was exceptional. The best welcome pack ever. Excellent service.

The cottage has everything you need.

For people without cars bus stops are a few minutes away with good services south to Dumfries and north to Sanquhar and beyond.

Very lovely cottage comfortable clean well equipped and a very lovely welcome pack.

Local people very friendly many thanks for a lovely holiday

Lovely cottage enclosed garden a big plus with our big dog owner keith very helpful loan of a fan during intense heat much appreciated

Wow!

Wonderful place to stay. Very well equipped accommodation offering a home from home stay. Thank you Keith for your hospitality and information to make our visit to Scotland memorable. The welcome pack for me and Moli was a lovely and kind gesture making sure we had essential provisions at the start of our stay. For dog owners, the garden is so secure that you're four legged friend is 100% safe during the stay. Highly recommend Troloss Logde when visiting Dumfries and Galloway. Diolch yn fawr...thank you so much

Bathroom could do with a refresh.

Lovely property beautiful area, friendly and helpful owner. My dog loved the secure garden

Had a wonderful stay in this little cottage, clean, peaceful & had everything you could think of.

Really nice cottage with all the facilities you could want.

The owner was very friendly and helpful. Thornhill is a lovely town.

Very enjoyable stay, everything was as described, would definitely return one day.

Having a enclosed garden was an absolute dream for us and Denzel. Beautiful area, with a very knowledgeable host. We loved the lodge and the town.

Repeat visit to this lovely cottage.

Excellent holiday in a perfect location. Welcome pack very much welcomed. Hosts are very friendly. Everything you need is provided. I will be visiting again soon hopefully.

Cottage was lovely, everything I was looking for and more.

Lots to do near by. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The welcome pack was fantastic! The fully enclosed garden is perfect for dogs. I would definitely stay here again.

Great place would highly recommend we loved our couple of days here amazing place with loads to do …john & heather & milo

Thank you for another very comfortable stay.

Troloss lodge has everything you need for a comfortable holiday.

The property was clean and cosy and the welcome pack was a lovely edition. Owner was very helpful. Plenty to do around the area. Would definitely recommend.

Great wee cottage in a nice area.

Easy access to facilities in Thornhill and lots of good places to walk the dog. Shower not the best - an electric one would be better. Drying towels not easy, electric towel rail needed.

Lovely cottage and the best welcome pack for both us and our dog.

Owners very friendly and knowledgeable. The village was very handy with lots of nice walks around and friendly locals with good shops to suit every need. A very enjoyable stay.

Shower needs attention.

Very friendly and positive host, and very helpful.

Lovely comfortable cottage with everything you need for a good holiday.

Very welcoming and friendly hosts. Very thoughtful welcome pack on arrival. Lovely area with friendly people. What more can you ask for!

A lovely spot to stay.

Really relaxing and had everything you need for a short stay. The garden was lovely and our dog particularly enjoyed sniffing around! We'd definitely go back.

Lovely cottage and the owner Keith left a lovely welcome pack.

We would probably book again.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the country, small but had everything you need, it’s light and airy and a lovely little sitting out area - thanks to Keith for his warm welcome and the welcome pack which was much appreciated.

There is a small Co-op and a Spar only a 5 minute walk from the cottage so no need to stock up at a supermarket on the way! Had a great few days at Troloss Lodge and will definitely return.

Every aspect was perfect except for the difficulty when trying to maneuver the car when parking.

A minor point far outweighed by the fabulous cottage.

Beautiful little lodge.

Everything we wanted and more. Lovely hosts. Extra touches made us feel very welcome. Will definitely be back.

My retired collie loved the underfloor heating!

I thought it was pretty good too.

A fantastic weeks stay at Troloss Lodge, one of the nicest self catering accommodations we have stayed in.

Excellent base for exploring and beautiful scenic walks. The hosts are very friendly and the cottage has everything you could possibly ask for, even down to a slow cooker. Everybody in the village are so, so friendly. The welcome pack is a very generous touch and much appreciated, thank you. Would definately recommend and hopefully stay again in the future.

trosloss lodge is a very comfortable little cottage just enough for 2 people lovely enclosed garden if you have a pet.

keith the owner was very friendly he left a very lovely welcome pack, most generous,and it ticked all the boxes would definitely reccommend both cottage and area for a relaxing break

Cottage is stunning, owners were lovely and very welcoming, lovely welcome pack for us and the dog which is a lovely touch, great walks and very close to all amenities, will definitely be going back.

Absolutely everything was perfect.

A small welcome pack with any necessities you could easily forget was left for us. As a young couple who enjoy gaming, the WiFi being capable of handling a couple of devices for gaming and being able to run them at the same time was a MASSIVE plus. The owners were absolutely lovely, but also left you to your own devices, whenever we did see them they always made sure that everything was fine for us in the cottage and had other things to offer to us if we needed it. A romantic week away, just the two of us was made absolutely perfect just by this location. Will definitely be seeing them again soon.

The most relaxing holiday we've had for years!

Lovely location for exploring the area, and surprisingly easy enough for a wheelchair user to get round. We renewed our wedding vows at Gretna Green whilst on this break, and the proprietors left us a lovely little gift upon our return. they were very thoughtful and nothing was too much trouble. I would happily recommend Troloss Lodge to anyone wanting a bit of peace and quiet.

My wife and I have just spent a relaxing break at this delightful cottage situated in a beautiful area.

We found it to be warm, very clean and fully equipped. Many thanks to the owners who were so pleasant and helpful. W R Edwards. North Wales.

As my husband has some mobility problems, eating at the breakfast bar was difficult so we ate with our food on lap trays.

Otherwise we had a lovely relaxed holiday made more so by the welcome we had from the owners.

Great cottage ,has everything you require for enjoyable break .

lovely enclosed garden ,which was thougherly explored by our small dog. Local shops five minutes walk. Keith ,the owner, very helpful and knowledgeable about walks etc in the surrounding area .Very relaxing break ,thanks.

Lovely cottage, bigger garden and enclosed which was a nice surprise (know new photos now).

Lovely cottage, in small village, with shops, and several places to eat.

Our hosts could not do enough for us, I would Certainly recommend to friends and family.

Very thoughtfully equipped.

Owners very friendly and helpful

Absolutely everything you would want is there super little cottage hope to return.

A lovely cottage set behind owners own home.

All windows look out onto garden. The cottage is well equipt and the bed is comfortable. The owners provide the basics in a welcome pack but local shopping is a five minute walk away. There's plenty to do in the area. Lots of country walking. Plenty of information on sightseeing provided . Pets are welcome at T roloss but if you are not a dog lover be assured that there's no sign that dogs have ever been inside. The place is spotless.

Very peaceful.

Good location welcome pack appreciated

The cottage was beautifully laid out and in an ideal location.

Excellent accommodation.

Wonderful hosts. Fantastic location.

The owner Keith was there to greet us and coudn't have been more helpful and friendly,telling us the best places to see and some of the history.

We cann't wait to go back again.

The cottage was in a perfect location to explore south west Scotland.

The nearby woodland walks and enclosed garden made it ideal for the dog. It met all our expectations, very clean and comfortable and would definitely consider returning in the future.

Troloss Lodge is a little gem hidden on the edge of a lovely little town (Thornhill) .

The owners are on site and there for you if you need them. We couldn't have wished for a better welcome, there was an essentials pack in the lodge which met all needs on arrival. It's a very comfortable place to stay and it will certainly be the first place we will look to book next time we are in the area. Thanks Keith for your local knowledge and advice.

Had a fantastic week.

The property is well presented and appointed. The welcome pack is probably the best we’ve ever had with wine, chocolate and shortbread amongst the usual essentials. Very friendly and knowledgeable owners for tips as to where to visit. Garden very dog friendly and safe. It was an ideal base for our exploring holiday with loads of walks, castles and forests within easy reach. Thornhill itself has plenty to offer, convenience stores for food, a chemist, pubs and hotels, a few takeaways and a couple of coffee shops/ bakeries. Would definitely recommend.

Getting turned around on Drive not easy, Perhaps it could be reconfigured?

Otherwise a fantastic Place.

The owner was very helpful and informative making our stay very relaxed.

The accommodation is bright and airy with sheltered external paved area and garden with makes it good for pets. Ideal location within easy walking distance of local shops and amenities. Good road communications with the whole area and numerous nearby walks makes this an ideal place to stay. We had a wonderful fortnight.
