The Dairy House Reviews

16th August 2025
We all had a great time at the Dairy House. It was very clean when we arrived and Isabel and George were always helpful when needed. They provided fresh flowers on arrival and a welcome pack with some useful items (including scones, jam and clotted cream!). The hot tub has amazing, with views over the Galloway hills and a great place for stargazing after dark. The cottage was well equipped and surprisingly spacious. The farm is only 5 minutes drive from Newton Stewart and very close to the forest parks, which are Ideal for walking and cycling. We will definitely visit again.

The Dairy House was a lovely location for our holiday in July. Comfortable, well equipped and spacious. Garden was enclosed and great for the dog (although she does not trust the Belties!). Peaceful and fab views over the Galloway Hills. Nightly hot tubs watching the birds were amazing. Local shops just 5 mins away by car and it’s a great central location for exploring the whole area. Owners couldn’t be more helpful. Highly recommended!

It was a fabulous cottage and with so much on the door step, it really is an excellent location. It was a delight to sit in the hot tub and listen to the birds and soak up the view.
