Had an amazing week with extended family. Cottage is very spacious, well equipped and with brilliant facilities. Great to be able to have breakfast in the kitchen and then dinner in the separate dining room before relaxing in front of the real fire in the large living room - we even had a pianist in the party to play the baby grand piano. Made greaRead moret use of the games room and tennis court. Great walks in surrounding countryside and coastline. All in all a great cottage and would highly recommend. Hide

We had a great week at Bellerigg. The countryside is beautiful and being so close to Castle Douglas is a bonus. We made great use of the tennis court and games room. The house is rather lived in and a wee bit worn round the edges but it is homely and comfortable. The aga kept us warm and the open fire is lovely in the evening. It had plenty of roomRead more for our family of 7. The shower room being downstairs was a bit inconvenient but we knew this when we booked. The bathrooms could do with updating. Hide

We had a very enjoyable week at the property, which was lovely and spacious and conducive to relaxation. We loved having tennis and snooker for our sole use - no need to book a time! The house was very comfortable, the grounds picturesque and there were lovely views in all directions. The gardens were well kept and we loved watching the vast varietRead morey of birds at the feeders throughout the day. Lots of personal touches - it was like staying at a family members home when they were out of town! Hide
