“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 Mcneill, July 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.”

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.

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.

6 of the 7 heaters did not work, reported it first day not repaired before we left early on the Friday it went uncomfortabley cold in the evenings, the vacuum cleaner didn't work which was a problem when you have two dogs, the back garden could do with a tidy especially the Brocken decking boards

Mr Thickett, September 2018
“I would love to give this cottage 10/10 because of the general features but there were one or two small issues especially in the kitchen.”

Also the Wi-Fi was set up with security controls which limited my use of the Internet. I have left the owner a note of these. While I was there, however, there was a major power cut which lasted from 1.30 pm on Wednesday until the early hours of Thursday morning. Although this was not the fault of the owner it would have been helpful if I could have found candles and the torch battery was almost done The neighbours were very helpful but perhaps the owner could consider providing candles and replacing the torch batteries more regularly. If these things are attended to I would have no hesitation in recommending this lovely cottage. The weather was not kind during my week at the cottage but it is in a lovely location and my wee dog was very happy there.

Mrs Taylor, September 2018

Mrs Battersby, August 2018

Mrs Cairns, July 2018

The cottage was beautiful with every amenity catered for. It was spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. The views of the river were glorious, especially when the herons were there, of which there were many. The walks were brilliant for our two dogs, with only 3 miles into Annan shops. The locals too were very friendly. We were sad to leave and would highly recommend this gorgeous property, especially if you have dogs. We will definitely book again and return to this lovely area. Thankyou.

Mr Walker, May 2018

It had everything we needed and very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again. The pub next door did a great sunday lunch and they even brought my dog out a plate of roast beef. Would definitely recommend the location for walks and close to places to visit.

Mrs Croxford, October 2017
“The cottage was extremely clean and well furnished.”

Is in a beautiful location by the river. We had wonderful, peaceful and comfortable holiday. I AM VERY PLEASED.

Mr Dixon, September 2017
“Ideal location with river views from rooms and right next to Annandale Way footpath for walks.”

Brig Inn just yards away provides a friendly welcome and home cooked food. Easy drive to the sights and attractions of the region.

About the location

ANNAN

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.
