Collieston Cottage Reviews

Eileen

This is a beautiful location, so quiet and peaceful. The cottage is well equipped, with comfy chairs and beds so important! The owners were very welcoming and checked we had everything we needed. We sat in the garden watching red kites and buzzards, and the endless house martins were a joy.

Sharon

This cottage was an absolute gem of a find! Part of a beautiful farm but situated about half a mile as the crow flies from the main farmhouse and buildings. Set well back from the 'main' road and with no through road it was a very private and secluded spot with a gorgeous garden for the kids to play safely in. Stunning views of the rolling hills and a variety of live stock and wildlife to look out for. With the associated sounds and aromas, after a trip to a local farm shop, it really was a treat for all senses! The hot tub added a luxury element and was a perfect way to relax and soak up the views. The cottage itself was beautiful inside, exceptionally clean, with all the amenities listed. An air fryer would complement the kitchen utilities but it's not a necessity just makes life easier with 3 constantly hungry kids! There's no shop or pub within walking distance so make sure you get there fully stocked up. There's plenty of kitchen cupboard space and a good size fridge freezer. We enjoyed a variety of days out. The kids are aged 5, 9 & 12 and all of them loved exploring local castles as well as a day at a local fun farm with soft play. We'll definitely book again! Thank you!

Loved the Cottage, cleanliness was exceptional. Every thing we needed plus the hot tub with outstanding views. Loved the peace and quiet, and being able to watch the wildlife Red Kites and Buzzards, plus who knew that the cows and sheep could be so amusing, it was nice to see them. They say Southwest Scotland is a forgotten area as most people pass through heading to the highlands, They are so wrong it is well worth visiting and this cottage was an excellent place to stay. We would strongly recommend the cottage for a happy holiday.

Russell

This is a stunning property in a beautiful location. I would live here if I could. So peaceful and relaxing. The peace in my soul after this week is amazing. I would definitely come back. Thanks for letting us use your lovely cottage.

Beautiful peaceful location. Fantastic hot tub.

Christine

The cottage was lovely, with all the comforts of home. It is situated in a quiet peaceful area surrounded by great views. We spent most of our time watching the wildlife, red kites, lots of herons and all kinds of birds. The wood fire was so nice and it was great having the hot tub. We also appreciated the extras like the biscuits, chocolate, coffee, tea and the treats for our dog, such a nice touch. We will definitely be returning to this cottage.

We had an amazing time staying at Collieston cottage over the christmas period. The cottage was really well stocked, little details like toothbrushes and washing powder were most welcome! The wood burner and hot tub were big hits with our family and made it feel even more cosy. Unfortunately we didn't get to explore as much as we'd like due to bad weather but ice skating in nearby Dumfries was great fun! A lovely stay and owners very helpful and considerate...we will be back!! X

Everything was lovely! Ive already recommended the cottage to a friend

Denise

I have been on numerous cottage holidays, Collieston Cottage is the BEST YET! ! The cottage is so well equipped you want for nothing, a real home from home. Hot Tub perfect the countryside and silence stunning. FANTASTIC !!!

Cottage was really lovely. Hot tub was fab perfect as it was covered just what you need on a rainy day. Location was beautiful with wonderful views across the countryside. The only downside is if you want to eat out on an evening it is quite a travel on dark narrow roads to reach a pub or restaurant but it's worth it for the peace and quiet and complete privacy loved it just bring your own food and put the wonderful logburner on fab.

Couldnt fault the property. A great getaway.

Victoria

A lovely spotlessly clean cottage in beautiful surroundings, perfect for a peaceful stay.

This holiday cottage is amazing, it is in a very quiet, peaceful location and is equipped with everything you could possibly need during your stay. The welcome basket is a lovely touch after having travelled on a long journey. Having a hot tub is a bonus allowing you to fully appreciate the beautiful surroundings and watch the local wildlife.

We all had a lovely stay at this cottage. My two kids and dog were so happy with all the space for them to run around in and also very secure. The views are beautiful and the hot tub was fab also. Very clean and well equipped we would defo return.

Well decorated and fully equipped cottage. The views are stunning. If you are looking for peace and tranquility this is ideal!

We had a lovely stay at Collieston cottage, it is perfectly situated for a quiet, get away from it all, but also within reach of lots to do in the surrounding area. The cottage itself is very comfortable and superbly equipped, with outstanding views.

Lovely cottage in very quiet location with great views and lots of sheep. Everything supplied that you needed for your stay by the owners. Would highly recommend.

Catherine

We had a lovely time at the cottage, it was more spacious than it looks, very clean , everything that you need. The farm was so peaceful and tranquil. The hot tub was great too. Would highly recommend it to family and friends

The hosts, Hayley & Keith were very welcoming and went out of their way to purchase bbq facilities for us. They also supplied us with ice. The accommodation was well equipped to a very high standard & extremely comfortable. We couldn't fault this stay, it was in a very peaceful location and the hot tub was a much an added bonus. We will definitely be back. Many thanks to you both for your hospitality x.

Caroline

Our Second stay in Collieston Cottage and we enjoyed it just as much. Its Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The owners give you total privacy but are easy to contact if needed. Even though weve stayed before We filled our week with new things to see and do. Great location if youre wanting to see Dumfries, but want a peaceful cottage to relax in at night. The views are fantastic and the hot tub is a real treat. The cottage is bigger than it looks on the photos and you have to see it to realise how beautiful the setting is. The children loved seeing the lambs in the fields outside the cottage too. It really is one of the best cottages weve stayed in and weve stayed in many cottages. 1110

Dominic

Amazing stay, beautiful cottage in a lovely peaceful and extremely private rural setting. Cottage was very clean and stylish and had everything we needed. Hot tub was brilliant and kept the kids happy when the weather was absolutely awful for Easter time! Would love to stay again.

Rachel y

We had an excellent long weekend at Collieston Cottage. The cottage itself is immaculately clean and modern. The hot tub and wood burner are excellent features and the remote location gives you complete privacy. The perfect spot for a relaxing break!

Michael

Collieston cottage is an extremely comfortable, warm and wellequipped home from home. The house was absolutely spotless on arrival and its setting is secluded but with all modern conveniences you would expect. The views are amazing and theres nothing better than sitting in the hot tub to admire them. This is the highlight of the cottage. Communication from the owner was excellent too. Very highly recommended.

Our second time at Collieston cottage, & it was just as fabulous as the first time. Cosy, peaceful, very high standards inside & out. Beautiful views, peaceful & the best hot tub I have ever used, especially after a day's walking. Thank you Hayley & Keith x

A beautiful cottage, had a great stay.

Michael

What a beautiful place to stay. Everything was perfect, cottage beautifully presented, very clean and well equipped. Hottub area was fantastic as well, with beautiful views over the countryside and beyond but also undercover incase the weather was poor. Hosts provided a host of little extras to get us started on our break which included logs and kindling, matches and firelighters for the wood burner. Tea, coffee and shortbread provided in the kitchen as well as the small stuff like salt n pepper, cooking oil, tinfoil n baking paper. Absolutely excellent place to relax and unwind and we are definitely going to rebook as soon as we can.

Daniel

We had a wonderful stay at Collieston Cottage, it was spotlessly clean on arrival and its very well equipped. The lovely little wood burner and the hot tub turned our trip into a cozy little getaway. The cottage is very secluded, which was what we were after, but its only a 30 min drive or so to the next big city. Its a lot more spacious then the pictures might suggest and we loved the little themed bedroom decoration and the other thoughtful little touches you can find all over the cottage. The area surrounding the cottage is just beautiful. We loved every second of our stay and will definitely be back! Also the hosts were really friendly and helpful.

An oasis of peace resulting in an amazing holiday. The hot tub is excellent and the cover means you can use it in any weather. The cottage is immaculate and very well equipped. Highly recommended and we're fussy

Propert is excellent we had a lovely holiday and it is good that you can use hot tub hail, rain or shine as it is covered. We have been to a few cottages over the years but this is definitely the best.

Amazing family holiday and will definitely be back! The cottage was better than the pictures. So cosy and in the middle of nowhere. Just what was needed to get away from busy city life. It had everything you would need and more. Attentive hosts, there at the drop of a hat to help with anything! Loved our time.

We spent a perfect week at this gorgeous secluded cottage. One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in. So much attention paid to the decor and facilities. Our border collie pup loved watching the sheep and cows. Loads of walks from the door or a short drive away. We loved it and cant wait to make a return visit . Hysterical fabulous !
