Scotia At The Pow

What a lovely place to stay.

Property excellent clean and has all the facilities you require. Debbie is a fabulous host. Greeted us with sandwiches and cake on arrival which was welcomed after a long drive. Cannot recommend enough

Debbie runs a fabulous little place in Powfoot.

Everything you could possibly need is there in the accommodation ready for you to use - I had a great short stay.

A small property but ideal for the two us and our small dog.

The accommodation is excellent including a jacuzzi bath which my wife loved- could be expensive when we get home!!! Owner was on site and supported our visit very well - available when needed and very knowledgeable on the area. The location was fantastic a short walk to the beaches and and good walks gor the dog. Will look to return in the future.

We have had the best holiday in a long time property was amazing everything we needed was there and the host went above and beyond to help us with any queries and anything else we needed for our holiday to enjoy.

if anyone is looking for a great holiday then this one would be top of the list plenty to see around the area and lovely walks for me and my dog.

Just spent an amazing 4 days at Scotia on the pow, Debbie the host was friendly and welcoming with a special touch of sandwiches and cake on our arrival, the cottage/annexe was perfect for us and our Labrador Chilli she loved exploring the beautiful garden, many seating areas for guests and we were fortunate to have lovely weather so were able to enjoy it, dog walks on the doorstep plus 5 minutes from the beach just perfect!

the bedroom and bathroom were very spacious with a spa bath and jet shower! Powfoot is a gorgeous little village picture perfect we loved it! nearest town is Annan 3 miles away if you need groceries etc, we hope to return to scotia on the pow in the future pure bliss! Yvonne, Jeff & Chilli.

The place was immaculate when we arrived.

We were greeted Debbie our host and she was very helpful in making our stay very relaxing. The place had everything we needed, i think Debbie has thought about everything for her guests. As i have a dog it was brilliant for him for walks on the beach and down by the river. The Scotia at the Powfoot is in a very quiet location which is just what we wanted for a relaxing few days away. We could not have asked for anything more.

Wow simply wow Beautiful quiet relaxing tranquil place Every thing in property you could possibly need The host debbie is amazing she goes above and beyond We had the most relaxed holiday weve ever had Pure bliss

A super spot - welcome was first class and accommodation very good.

Everything was to a high standard and we had a very comfortable stay The host had provided everything we could possibly need and from arrival to departure was attentive and helpful. A great place for a base and close to the beach

A warm welcome including sandwiches and cake.

Debbie lives on site and was caring and friendly. We used her car charger and the fee was very fair. The cafe at the local Annandale distillery is a must.

Debbie was perfect host cakes and sandwiches on arrival very nice.

We were enjoying our stay unfortunately we started having trouble with our car Debbie even tried to arrange a garage for us but all booked up we decided we needed to leave early

From the moment we arrived we felt very much at home in this fabulous property, Debbie, the owner is without doubt the most warm, welcoming and generous host we could have wished for; not only in the treats and luxurious toiletries that she provides but there were many occasions during our stay where she went way above and beyond the usual remit of a holiday host to help us out, she is totally amazing as is the property.

The garden is a tranquil haven for wildlife (and for guests!) with plenty of areas in which to relax (with indoor areas too) or to sunbathe and indoors there is a warm and cosy living room with a comfy settee and throws, a TV and DVD player; the most stunning bathroom with plentiful fluffy towels and a well equipped kitchen; there is always plenty of hot water too, Debbie really has thought of everything. The location is superb with lovely woodland walks and the beach literally a minute’s walk from the door; there is also a links golf course nearby; we can’t recommend Debbie and Scotia at the Pow highly enough and we and our dog Amber can’t wait to return next year. Thank you Debbie, you made our week extra special, we very much look forward to seeing you again in 2027!

Not the relaxing week away I needed.

There was nothing in the listing saying there was a shared garden or that the owner lives on the property. I have a reactive dog who doesn’t like strangers and is terrified of everything and everyone, so I would not have booked the property at all if I had known this. I told the owner this when I arrived. There was also a gardener coming every day to do the garden while we were there, which meant there was no privacy. The gardener asked me to put my dog away so he could do his work in the garden, which was quite abrupt. Debbie, the owner, did come over and say he wasn’t going to do the garden that day. The property itself was lovely, and the garden was beautiful. It’s a shame about the lack of privacy, with the owner coming in and out and hanging out washing. Our fridge was broken and the temperature wasn’t right. I turned it down to one degree, but the milk and food had gone off by Wednesday and had to be thrown away. While sitting in the garden on Thursday, the hottest day, it was very windy and neighbours lit a fire. Everything they were burning came over into the garden where I was sitting, so I packed up and left immediately after this. Powfoot is an amazing place — it’s just a shame about the lack of privacy.

A truly delightful holiday accommodation.

Debbie met us when we arrived and nothing was too much trouble. The plates of food were very welcome after our drive! The garden is beautiful especially when the sun was shining!! Everything in the property is of an exceptional standard. Such a fantastic location to explore the surrounding area. The beaches are gorgeous We had a wonderful time - thank you!!

Great relaxing and peaceful break in Powfoot.

Property was perfect, bathroom and bedroom very luxurious. Living area a bit narrow but we knew that when booked so wasn’t a problem. All amenities provided, cake and sandwiches on arrival very welcome too. Location great too, 100 yards from beach which our dog loved. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely stunning accommodation with a wonderful host who can’t do enough for her guests in all ways highly recommend this accommodation to anyone Scotia at the Pow and Powfoot is just perfect.

Beautiful accommodation in a lovely village Debbie the host was a lovely person and went the extra mile to make our stay unforgettable.

The only downside was that there wasn't a local pub in the village and Annan was 3 miles away and it couldn't be walked as the road was a national speed limit road with no pavement. Saying the above the local hotel was wonderful and the food was good, but varied opening hours due to Christmas and the New Year We would stay at the accommodation again though, it was beautiful

Wonderful apartment, a home from home.

Cosy and bueatifuly decorated. Loved the Christmas trees decorated and sandwiches and cake on arrival. Debbie the owner very nice and informative about area and things to do. Loved after being out for the day to come back and have a jacuzzi bath and chilling. Our wee dog also liked his walks and garden. We felt relaxed and batteries charge for the madness of Christmas. Would highly recommend this property to friends and family. Hope to return again soon. Catriona

Debbie was just the best host.

Great communication, looked after us so well. She made us some lunch for our arrival, provided snacks and tea and coffee. We were able to use her facilities to charge our car and she was only next door if we needed anything. The property was beautiful and kept nice and warm for us. Cannot fault it at all and will definitely return. Thanks for such a lovely stay

We had a lovely relaxing stay.

Debbie was an absolutely fantastic host. The accommodation was warm and cosy after lovely autumn walks that Debbie recommended to us. We will be back when in need of some rest and relaxation in a lovely corner of the country.

Place was lovely and Debbie was really nice had everything we needed and more couldn’t fault it in any way would highly recommend

Scotia is listed as luxurious and it certainly is.

Everything is first rate and the property provides a chance to thoroughly relax because of that.The bed is very comfortable and the Jacuzzi bath an excellent addition to this bijou property.The gardens are also well designed for relaxation and privacy. Parking is convenient.The village is pretty with the beach very nearby. We can honestly say the owner goes the extra mile for visitors' comfort and convenience.Excellent all round.We plan to return.

My second visit did not disappoint - also loved by my dog!

'Top notch' accommodation in a tranquil location. Everything you could possibly need provided by Debbie, a fabulous lady and the ultimate host. Thanks for a wonderful stay...till the next time

Debbie is a perfect hostess.

The accommodation is luxurious, comfortable and has everything for a home from home. I would recommend this accommodation to everyone that is heading to Powfoot. The rolls and cakes on arrival were delicious

Debbie met us and showed us round the accommodation, it was perfect. There was everything we needed for our two week break, everywhere was so clean. Towels and bedding provided.

The cottage was in a perfect location.

A well maintained property and very comfortable. Private garden to the rear. Debbie was the perfect host and nothing was too much trouble for her.

Debbie is a wonderful hostess.

I had an ankle injury and she took my dog out for a walk, made me breakfast and lunch and took care of me beyond anything that was expected. She is an amazing, kind and generous person. The annex was wonderful and her garden was a place I was able to enjoy as I was off my feet for 1 1/2 days resting my ankle injury. I would HIGHLY recommend this wonderful place to stay.

Debbie is a amazing host and the accomodation is lovely with beautiful views and walks near by , I would highly recommend a minimum of two weeks stay as a week didn't seem enough, Debbie also went out of her way to make sure we had a great holiday .

Excellent holiday accommodation clean, well equipped, in a beaufull area, Debbie the owner is very nice and helpfull, so much so we have booked again for a week in June.

The house was so comfortable and warm and furnished to a very high standard. Debbie was so nice and made us feel really welcome, she had sandwiches and cake for us on arrival, such a nice touch. She reccommended lots of places to go with our dog which was very helpful. We would reccommend Scotia at the Pow to anyone. We will definately be booking again.

We had an excellent stay at Scotia which is furnished to a very high quality and very comfortable.

Debbie is a great host providing a lovely welcome pack as well as guidance of places to visit and eat.

Beautiful, well equipped accommodation in a fantastic location, only minutes from the beach.

The accommodation was outstanding and Debbie, the host is so helpful and goes out her way to ensure guests have a fantastic break.

Loved everything about our stay .

Gorgeous lovely annex with lovely decor,.Fabulous comfortable bed ,beautiful bathroom with copious towels.Debbie was a fabulous host ,welcoming but not intrusive. We would definitely recommend a visit to Powfoot.

Absolutely stunning property along with Debbie the property owner who was such a wonderful and caring lady sandwiches and cake on arrival after travelling up from Mid Wales nothing was too much trouble for her.

Bed was so comfortable bathroom was stunning the whole property was warm and cosy. We have visited the area for many years having friends in Annan and this was the best we have stayed in and Bailey loved his walks 2/3 times a day, we miss it already and have booked to go back early next year. Thank you for welcoming us to your stunning property Debbie x

I honestly couldn't fault the accommodation or owner.

Extremely clean, warm and stocked with everything you could wish for.

Superb holiday home with every item of the finest quality and very clean; if anything overequipped (10 Spode matching mugs for instance) .

Absolutely luxurious. Even the tea towels are Ralph Lauren!!!!. Lots of goodies left for your enjoyment on arrival and a lovely lovely host who cannot do enough to make your stay enjoyable.

This was a perfect break.

Debbie is an excellent host and was helpful throughout. I would recommend this to anyone. We will be back

Excellent homely place to stay with all the comforts you could need, Debbie is more than helpful and went that bit further to make us feel at home.

Wonderful house and extensive garden with outdoor facilities like chairs, barbecue and lighting. Plenty of good walks and only a short stroll to the shores of the solway and a golf course.

In 14 years with Sykes this is by far the nicest cottage we have been to.

Outstanding on every count. And the owner is the nicest person you could wish for. Will be going here lots. In fact I have already booked for next year.

Lovely weekend break; the cottage was comfortable, well equipped and in a fabulous location.

The owner was extremely friendly and welcoming, and even brought round cakes for my birthday! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

I knew from the moment we were greeted by our host that our stay was going to be great.

The little extra touches she has put into this wonderful holiday let are appreciated. From Sandwiches and cake on arrival, milk and bread, cereal boxes, sweets and crisps etc. All there to make our stay that little bit more enjoyable. Facilities inside were 1st class, excellent shower and bath with multiple fresh towels, airfryer,oven and microwave etc and all spotlessly clean. We visit the area at least twice a year and this is in my opinion by far the best around. We will be returning and have already re-booked for next summer....thankyou for a relaxing stay.

Excellent host, very welcoming, with good knowledge of the area.

Outstanding accommodation, very well presented, well decorated to an high standard and very very clean. The outside area was beautiful, safe for our dog, and provided several places to allow you to sit around to enjoy the sunshine. We will definitely recommend to friends & hope to return very soon. We had a lovely, relaxed & chilled week, which is exactly what we needed.

Superb 5 day break.

The property is in a quiet location and very close to great views across Solway Firth. Debbie the property owner was very helpful and welcoming and the extras she provided made all the difference.As the property is all on one level it was perfect for my wife who has disabilities which restrict her mobility.

Great place plus has everything you need on holiday ,location right at the sea nice walks right beside a hotel and there is a nice bar 3 minutes walk from hotel .

debbie goes out her way for her guests plus great garden to sit in definitely would return bert Steve

Tasteful, well appointed property & garden, very welcoming and friendly host.

Good location near the coast to explore Dumfries & Galloway

Over the years we have holidayed in many dog friendly cottages but by a country mile this was the best one ever!

It was so well equipped and furnished beautifully. The garden is amazing, we just couldn’t have wanted for more. It’s a little gem set in a beautiful location. Debbie is the loveliest lady and she went out of her way to ensure we had a lovely holiday, there are no words to thank her enough. If “Carlsberg” made holiday cottages it would be Scotia at the Pow! We will certainly be back ❤️

As soon as we arrived we were made to feel at home, everything about Scotia on the Pow is excellent including the owner Debbie: who went above and beyond what we expected.

Debbie provided us with the best bacon and tomato sandwiches for lunch and ice cream whilst enjoying the sun in the beautiful garden, the night time light show is magical along with the peace and quiet and the biggest wind chimes we have seen. We will definitely return at our earliest opportunity.

From the moment I entered the property I just knew I would be comfortable here.

The facilities are of a high standard with luxury and comfort in mind. I loved the decor, the lighting, the bedding, the abundance of fresh towels, to name but a few things. The host, Debbie, was very welcoming and thoughtful. Checking I had everything I needed and even popping in from time to time. She had kindly provided the essentials such as milk, breakfast items, butter, tea and coffee. This was much appreciated. The bed was very comfortable, the shower and jacuzzi were amazing and it was great having a TV in the bedroom for those lazy mornings. Powfoot itself is pretty and peaceful. Kinda special. I loved the local walks and wildlife. Further afield there's lochs, castles, Annan, Dumfries, Castle Douglas and the rest of the beautiful western Scotland to explore! All in all a very relaxing and peaceful stay. What a tonic! I'll definitely be back.
