“Our second stay at Heron Cottage with our dogs.”

We had a great time, daily walks from the cottage.

We had a great time, daily walks from the cottage.
Mrs Litster January 2020

“Heron cottage was very cosy, and as we were there In January, we welcomed the fact that it was very warm too.”

The location was very good. It overlooked a beautiful river, and we did indeed frequently see the heron. It was peaceful and quiet with a lovely riverside walk. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed, although we never did find the hairdryer! We would recommend this cottage for a relaxing breakaway. However, it does seem to be very expensive during the summer months.
Mr Stuart December 2019

“We did want to hoover and mop before we left, but the hoover didn't work and nothing to squeeze the mop out with.”

Apart from that everything was OK
Mrs Walker September 2019

“This is a beautiful cottage with all aminities and very clean with good walks for dogs and great views”
Mrs Ashley September 2019

“This is a beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings.”

10/10 for cleanliness and everything you could possibly need was provided.
Mrs Willis August 2019

“THIS IS THE BEST HOLIDAY COTTAGE WE HAVE HAD - I.”

E. COMFORT, FACTILITIES, SIZE, PETS SAFE IN GARDEN - GREAT. WE ARE GOING BACK NEXT YEAR - TRUST TRYING TO WORK OUT OUR DATES TO RETURN. MANY THANKS. SUE AND BOB.
Mrs Adcock August 2019

“Great location if you like walking, dog friendly, pictures don’t do this cottage justice, we were pleasantly surprised.”

Definitely visit again
Mrs Fowether July 2019

“Heron cottage exceeded our expectations.”

The cottage was well equipped and generally very comfortable. The only problem I encountered was the squeaky base on the double bed. But, this didn’t seem to bother my husband. Would we return? Yes but I would choose to sleep in the other bedroom. Problem solved!
Mr Mcneill July 2019

“It is a very comfortable, well equipped, cosy cottage.”

Our dog loved the walks along the river. Access to the walks was really easy from the cottage.
Mr Stuart May 2019

“The weather helped to make the holiday wonderful, the location is picturesque and the village is lovely and quiet, so our stay was really enjoyable.”
Mrs Brigden May 2019

“The cottage was in a lovely position, overlooking the river.”

I would, however, point out that the shower over the bath didn’t work and that there was a significant leak into one of the kitchen cupboards. The caretakers must know of this as there was an ice cream tub to collect the water, which overflowed during our stay. My husband found the bed uncomfortable, there was a lot of noise from the springs. These are not big issues, but they should be addressed.
Mrs Cook March 2019

“A very lovely cottage, in a great location, the neighbors were very nice.”
Ms Simmonds January 2019

“Heron Cottage is well equipped and cosy.”

It is situated in an excellent position for joining the Annandale Way walking route for a circular walk and for touring this beautiful and scenic area. I had a relaxing and peaceful week at the cottage and really enjoyed myself.
Mrs Edgar October 2018

“WiFi could be a bit touch and go but did work most of the time.”

Neighbours very friendly and helpful. Not impressed with kingsize bed as uncomfortable but did manage to sleep okay. On the whole the cottage was a cosy place to relax nd the river flowing passed was soothing on the eyes
Miss Mcnamara October 2018

About the location

ANNAN

Dumfries 15.7 miles; Carlisle 20 miles

The town of Annan, a former harbour, lies on the banks of the River Annan, in East Dumfries and Galloway, and is steeped in history, with the area once the site of Roman camps and the workplace of the writer Thomas Carlyle. Each year, the town celebrates the Riding of the Marches, in honour of the Royal Charter bestowed by King James V, which involves parades, massed pipe bands and competitions. The area around Annan has many small towns, picture postcard villages and hamlets, plus beautiful unspoilt coastline, with sandy beaches and hidden coves. Visit nearby Caerlaverock Castle, one of Scotland's finest ruined castles or Annandale Distillery. Take a day trip and marvel at the majestic architecture of the grand abbeys of Melrose and Jedburgh or visit the northern Lake District and the historic Hadrian’s Wall. Annan is an ideal base for exploring this lovely area.
