Hardhills Cottage

Hardhills cottage is a real gem the accommodation was one of the best we have stayed in, very homely and comfortable with everything you need.

The owners have done an amazing job to make it home from home. The location is great too with fantastic views from the conservatory and well placed to explore the local area we loved our week there.

Lovely cottage in a great location for exploring the Solway coast and south-west Scotland.

A comfortable and cosy stay with everything you could need. Great views over the surrounding countryside makes for a relaxing evening (in or out of the hot tub). Only negative was having to leave. Will be able again.

Fantastic property , in wonderful location , extremely clean with everything you need to make your stay extra special.

Just a short car ride to a wide range of shops and restaurants and lots to do in the area. We all loved spotting wild life from the conservatory, binoculars provided, and the countryside views from the hot tub were amazing.

Hardhills Cottage is very thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxed stay.

The cottage has a great aspect for wildlife spotting and was only a short drive from Castle Douglas which we found very convenient. We thoroughly enjoyed our week there.

Superb property - great space and well proportioned.

Bedrooms a good size and the lounge area good for 4 adults. The kitchen is well kitted out - the hot tube was great feature wich we mad the most of. I would highly recommend this property and would love to return. Dumfries and Galloway is a lovely area to visit You won’t be disappointed

A wonderful cottage.

We loved staying there. Good facilities at the cottage and close enough to the town to get essentials.

Beautiful cottage in a quiet setting but close to amenities.

Furnished and maintained to a high standard with everything you need for a luxurious break.

Beautiful property and surroundings, close to Castle Douglas village.

Property was well maintained, clean and very cosy definitely recommend.

Beautiful cottage, clean and very comfy with great facilities and thoughtful touches.

Well connected with lots of places close by to explore - but that means there is some road noise. We really loved watching the wildlife and stars from the conservatory and the hot tub. Overall a great place to stay.

Top notch accomodatiion.

Lovely grounds. A bit short on mugs (3 for 4. Guest). Did not get a change of bed linen after week 1. Lovely place equals great holiday

This cottage was perfect for us as it was in a rural location and private.

It was well appointed and very clean. The beds where comfortable and the showers where good. It was lovely sitting in the conservatory with the open views. The hot tub was an added bonus for us. There is lots to see and do within a short drive of the cottage. We would highly recommend and would definitely return.

We stayed at Hardhills cottage in July (family of 4 with 2 teenagers).

The space was excellent and everyone loved the hot tub in the evening and a game of pool! Would highly recommend.

We had a brilliant stay at this lovely cottage!

The surrounding scenery is stunning, it’s so quiet and yet so close to local amenities (5mins to 2 supermarkets). The cottage itself is immaculate, the decor is beautiful and modern, the attention to detail is excellent, we had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay - and the hot tub was an added treat! We would thoroughly recommend!

What a beautiful cottage in an amazing location.

We were blown away on arrival at how beautiful it was, clean, tidy and had everything we needed. I liked the information pack as give us knowledge of what was around. Hot tub and pool table were a bonus. Enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend and would like to return in the future.

We have just returned from a weeks stay at this beautiful cottage.

We loved everything about it, the bed was comfy , the shower was great & very powerful loads of storage plenty of parking space. The hot tub was HUGE and very clean with the most amazing views from it. The views from the sun lounge are amazing too, we saw 8 badgers , lots of red kites, buzzards, woodpeckers, swallows & martins and deer and brown hares just to name a few! Absolutely loved it here.

We had a wonderful stay at Hardhills.

The cottage was clean, well maintained and decorated beautifully. It had everything that we needed. The pool table was a real hit with all the family, as well as the fabulous hot tub! It was a great base for exploring the local mountain bike trail centre's, and supermarkets are only a 5 minute drive away too, which was really helpful. We would really recommend staying here!

This holiday cottage is absolutely fabulous, it looks a generous size in the advertised photos, but in reality it's huge!

. It is finished to a very high standard, the owners have created an absolute gem. The logburner with unlimited logs was so cosy every night, not that we needed it really, as the underfloor heating kept the property comfortably warm, especially in the conservatory where the heat in the floor was addictive! A perfect reading room!. The pool table was great, and a stash of games and books will make sure you don't get bored if the weather keeps you indoors. The decking which surrounds 2 sides of the property is of a high end finish also, and the hot tub which sits on it is private and only overlooked by a few sheep and wonderful rolling countryside. It gave us countless hours of relaxation. I would recommend a holiday in Hardhills Cottage to anyone. Thankyou Ewen and Shelagh.

Absolutely lovely property and close to Castle Douglas.

Has everything you need and more.Bit hard to see from road maybe sign would be better placed at the bottom of the drive

What a wonderful place to stay!

A very well equipped, comfortable cottage, with a lovely view of hills and a large pond. Everything you could ever need for a holiday base. The hot tub is a fabulous bonus, we were star gazing in that most evenings. The pool table was fun too, we had not played pool for years. There are many good books to read, sky TV, all you want if the weather is bad and you wanted to cozy up indoors. The lodge is very stylish and warm, but you also have the benefit of a wood burning stove for those chillier evenings. It is a very short drive to the shops in Castle Douglas.Threave castle and gardens is nearby. You take a boat ride to the castle, which is unique. Another great castle to visit is Caerlaverock castle, it has an unusual design. There are lovely woodland walks in Dalbeattie forest to Kippford Bay, which is a nice place to visit. There's a great pub restaurant (The Anchor Hotel) which serves fantastic food. A must do is feeding the wild goats and red deer, we took several kilos of carrots and they were gone within minutes. Hahaa Logan's fish pond is a unique place to visit, and Logan's Botanical Gardens is amazing! The Wood of Cree is another beautiful place to visit, with lots of waterfalls. Walks around Glen Trool, Kirroughtree, Clatteringshaws Loch are wonderful. Of course you can walk up the Merrick, if you are fit enough. A drive down Raiders road is good if you want a nice forest drive. Stinchar falls is another nice walk to a waterfall. There are many waterfalls to discover in the Galloway, if that is your thing. Eskrigg nature reserve is a great place for bird watching and looking out for red squirrel. There's so much to do in the Galloway, a week simply isn't long enough. We will definitely stay at Hardhills Cottage when we next return to the Galloway, I doubt you could wish for a more lovely place to stay. Thank you.

I spent ALL day trying to get hold of the owner to get a key number only to find he was in Turkey.

Don't you know when owners are away, if not why not, we could of been given an alternative number. Why is it so difficult to get in touch with yourselves by phone, not everybody has whats app, you don't even have a phone number on your web site had to find it on google. Very frustrated holiday people The travel instructions are wrong at the last instant, you do not turn left onto B727 (which isn't signed) you go 50 yds past B727 then turn right into the cottage driveway. Very noisy traffic mainly HGV's at night even with the windows shut. On the plus side the people I did speak to were very helpful

The cottage was so comfortable and had all we wanted.

The hot tub and pool table in particular were brilliant additions. We loved the cottage’s decor and it’s peaceful surroundings- great for watching the wildlife at the back. Very clean, cosy and convenient for local amenities.

I think the Cottage is worth of value .

Everything that we need inside the cottage is was great . The pool room was great , we has a good fun playing pool in the evening . The hot hub was great and the weather is was brilliant.

Was more than we normally pay but you get what you pay for.

Exceeded our expectations by a long way. Photos do not do it justice. If you are unsure whether to book it, just do it.

This property is utterly stunning.

Its situated 3 miles (give or take) from the nearest village in both directions. Its very private and quiet for maximum relaxation! The whole house is finished to a really high standard and is a stones throw away from Dalbeattie forrest or the coast at Kippford for stunning views and great walks. I honestly couldn't find fault and we would be happy to return!

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage, great location, very well equipped and very comfortable.

Fantastic weather for May in Scotland. It was a perfect week.

What a fabulous cottage it has to be one of the best that we have stayed in.

Pool table was a great little touch especially when it rained in the evening just to pass the time away. We would definitely recommend this property, we will definitely return.

An amazing property in a beautiful setting.

Very well equipped and furnished.

Probably the best holiday cottage we have stayed in.

With beautiful surroundings, nesting ducks & geese in pond and ewes with lambs in field along with good weather, it made our 5 days a lovely holiday.

We had a wonderful 5 days at Hardhills Cottage.

Scenery was stunning, the cottage was beautifully presented and immaculate. The beds are super comfy. We loved the conservatory for stargazing at night. The view was out of this world. The cottage is so peaceful and comfortable. The log fire is amazing at night to put on, nothing beats it. Hot tub was fantastic and again the views are breath taking whilst taking a dip. We would definitely go back. The children are already asking us for a return visit. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Lovely comfortable cottage.

Written directions to property are wrong. Cottage is situated on east side of A745.

A fabulous bungalow wonderful facilities.

phoned Ewen a couple of times very friendly and helpful, the surrounding area has outstanding views. The nearest neighbour is 400 yards away wonderfully peaceful. Shame about the weather but you don't go to Scotland in February for the sun. Visited lots of the local areas and went up to Ayr for the day. Had a fabulously relaxing week. Hot tub fantastic once up to temp. Will definitely be back. Congrats Ewen and Shelagh on a beautiful bungalow

Superb property, extremely spacious.

Really allowed us to chill for a week. Lovely games room hot tub and thoughtful amount of boxed games. Super kitchen with everything you need. One of the best places we have stayed

Had a beautiful stay for 4 days over New year.

Totally recommended.

Brilliant property, provided a really relaxing stay which is just what we needed.

Instructions on how to work the heating would have been helpful as we couldn't work it out. Would definitely stay again

Lovely cottage, beautifully presented.

Very cozy and warm, perfect for a winter break. Nicely thought out accommodation with everything you could need. Location was very good with access to Castle Douglas and it's shops and restaurants only 5 minutes away. When you have been out for the day there is a hot tub with great views of the countryside or at night weather permitting starry skies. We had a great time at Hardhills Cottage and would thoroughly recommend this stylishly renovated property to anyone looking for a break in this area.

It was a pleasure to stay in such a fantastic place for our mini honeymoon.

Great location as well being close to castle douglas and Dumfries. Ewen the host was helpful with questions and help throughout. The view from the hot tub and conservatory were stunning! Thanks again!

We really enjoyed our stay at Hardhills Cottage.

The place was beautifully decorated, had a great location for shops and to explore from. The owner had great communication and was very friendly when we spoke to him with a quick question. I really felt at home in this Cottage, definitely a place I would recommend and come back too.

We spent a full week here for our honeymoon and absolutely fell in love with the place.

The owners have done an amazing job renovating making it feel like home from home. It’s a perfect little slice of heaven and we’ll certainly be back next year!! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hardhills is a beautifully renovated cottage which is wonderfully warm and comfortable.

We had a lovely relaxing week and will be sure to return.
