  • "Had a lovely stay at Solway Cottage, for the end of October the weather was remarkably warm."

    The cottage is nicely furnished and comfortable for two people and four legged friends are nicely catered for. Due to minor details cannot give it 5 stars for cleanliness - wine glasses had been put away dirty, crumbs on top of cooker, hand marks left on windows and some of the surfaces had not been dusted. Otherwise a nice place to relax.

  • "Best cottage we have stayed in this year."

    Great nights sleep. So close to the beach. Friendly community, excellent pub with food and cafe at the caravan park. Very dog friendly. Planning to book for next year. And we saw the northern lights. Amazing

    Had all we needed for the week. Lots of information for things to do in the area. Lovely location near the beach. Note, there are no shops in Powfoot so come prepared. Nearest supermarket etc is in Annan.

  • "The cottage was very nicely presented, plenty of room lovely big bathroom."

    The welcome pack was a really lovely gesture and much appreciated, the only thing that let the holiday down was the cottage was exceptionally cold the only place you could get warm was in bed the thermostat was on 17% but I don’t think in the time we were there the heating came on once, so we tended to stay out as long as possible rather than try and keep warm

    Thank you for the lovely feedback and pleased you enjoyed the welcome pack. I’m so disappointed you felt cold and really sorry - we found the thermostat had been turned to off, instead of being left on auto. I do hope you return, and if you should have any issues during your stay please contact the number in our info pack for my property manager. Would love to welcome you back, Property Owner

  • "This is a nicely located property close to the sea, and with dedicated off-road parking."

    It has an excellent bathroom with a decent shower. The kitchen is small but fine for a week. The bedrooms are small but OK & with plenty of hanging space & drawers. The lounge/diner is large & airy, but suffers from 2 weaknesses which should be remedied quickly. The first is there is only one lamp - so we had to move that to the dining table to eat in the evenings and then unplug it & move it back to the side of the sofa afterwards. A second lamp would cost very little but enhance the experience significantly. The worst feature of this property by a mile is the television. It is not a SMART, so it's not connectable to the Wi-Fi, and therefore it's impossible to connect to Netflix/Amazon Prime/BBC i-Player/X. It isn't even possible to connect your mobile to the set with wires - as the set is so old it only has the old video connections - no USB connections. This is really something the owner should address - these days everyone uses catch-up TV, and not having access to it was a negative. The welcome pack was nice & much appreciated too.

    Thank you for your helpful feedback. I’m pleased you appreciated the location and newly refurbished bathroom. The lounge now has an extra lamp. Thank you for your feedback regarding the tv - this is the first time receiving such feedback, so it’s something I hadn’t specifically considered but will do now. Thank you. Property Owner

  • "The cottage was easy to find, in a nice location but unfortunately the amount of dog hair on furniture and floors let it down, perhaps a hoover in the accommodation would allow owners of dogs to clean up after their dogs, we aren't dog owners and this was not how I intended spending my holiday."

    Thank you for your feedback. I’m pleased you enjoyed the superb location of Solway Cottage. My cleaning team take great pride in ensuring the cottage is really clean, so I’m sorry that on this occasion it didn’t meet your expectations. My property manager would have certainly resolved this if he’d been made aware. There is usually a hoover on hand in the cottage, however it was temporarily not available due to a repair being needed. I hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

    It was really comfortable and the owners had thought of all the things we could need. The rooms were well presented, the kitchen well equipped and the bathroom had gone through a makeover and was beautiful. There were places to sit outside and we managed some time in the sun. It is well positioned close to the beach so was superb for our dog. The beach is spotless. The village of Powfoot is delightful and people were really friendly and would always stop for a chat. It was easy to get to other interesting places and Annan had supermarkets and local independent shops. We had one of our best holidays and will certainly want to return to this lovely cottage.

  • "Solway Cottage is a great base for exploring the surrounding area."

    The local walks were great and the dog loved the beach too. The cottage had everything you would need but I have to say something needs done about the beds! We know you can’t please everyone but for us the Double bed Mattress was too soft so we ended up in the twin room which was slightly better. The pillows on all beds were terrible- cheap & nasty not comfortable to sleep on, giving no support at all. When leaving and stripping the beds there was blood on the mattress protector! Suggest a mirror is put on the wall opposite the gate so that drivers exiting the cottage can see if any cars are coming down the hill as it is difficult to see due to the tree blocking the view.

    Pleased to hear you appreciated the cottage and its location. It’s tricky to suit everyone’s needs when it comes to beds and pillows. I am however reviewing the situation and considering an alternative new bed for the master bedroom and pillow refresh. Your other points have also been taken on board.

  • "Solway Cottage is situated in the pretty village of Powfoot, only a few steps away from the Solway Firth shoreline."

    The cottage is the first on the left, opposite the right hand turning into Ellerslie lane, as you descend into the village. The welcome gifts were greatly appreciated and enjoyed. The settees were comfortable with plenty of cushions. The twin beds, which had been put together to create a large double bed, were very comfortable and we slept well each night despite it being the hot weather in early September. However, there were no pillow protectors and one of the mattress protectors was stained. There is plenty of kitchen equipment though I found the food storage cupboard very small. The shower was very good and has coloured lighting to enhance the experience! The back/ side door was extremely difficult to open and lock , this may need some attention. The washing machine, which we only used once, sounded as if it was a concrete mixer, the noise was dreadful, it may require a service or replacement. The bedroom curtains were not thick enough to keep out the very early morning sunshine and blackout liners could be useful and easy to install. The fridge and freezer struggled to stay cold in the recent very hot weather, a blind on the porch door may be worth considering. There is no information about recycling glass bottles and jars, we brought ours home to recycle. We were alarmed at the prospect of a £250 Good Housekeeping Bond charge given that the whole of the property needed a deep clean. We found clumps of dog hairs everywhere, including hairs in the fridge! We were aware that this is a dog friendly property when we boomed but weren’t expecting this. We did clean the property to a better standard than that which we found. The curtain tie backs were on the floor, I reinstated them to their correct position. The bin in the kitchen had no top but I found it, broken, in the under sink cupboard, this I mended and put back on the bin. The under sink cupboards are dirty and so were skirting boards. There are lots of stains and marks on walls. Maybe others would be content to put up with all of this. We won’t be booking again to stay at Solway Cottage.

    Thank you for your very detailed feedback, Great to hear you appreciated the Welcome pack, however I’m very sorry there were so many other elements at Solway Cottage which did not meet your expectations. There is a comprehensive information pack which provides details on recycling and the correct bin to put these in just at the front of the cottage. All of your other points have been noted and addressed as appropriate. Thank you too for your suggested improvements, this is appreciated. Property Owner

The heated towel rail is part of the central heating which rarely came on as it was warm so we struggled to dry towels. The listing needs updating. We were disappointed to find most of the kitchen items very greasy. The cleaner would not have noticed this without a careful inspection. We washed more than we used but not everything. The kitchen needs a deep clean as do all the floors. The property needs a little love putting in to it. Powfoot is a lovely place to stay with nice walks and plenty of other things to do nearby.

Our pat testing is fully up to date but we do not have this labeled throughout the property as it's not required. The heating throughout is usually set to a comfortable temperate so the towel rail shouldn't get too hot, we will check this to ensure it's all in working order.

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.
