The welcome we received from Lynne and family was exceptional, unsurpassed by any we've experienced in our many years of self catering. Corriedow was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and extremely well equipped. All the finishing touches were so thoughtful and much appreciated. Its beautiful setting was secluded and peaceful but within close proximity of many tourist attractions within the region - perfect!

THE BEST cottage we have ever stayed in, a beautiful house in an amazing location. Lynne is a great host, she went above and beyond to look after us and made sure we were happy. When we arrived the cottage was nice and cosy, candles were lit and the extremely generous welcome hamper was just lovely. We felt home straightaway. Everything was just perfect! We will definitely return! Thank you Lynne and Alec.

Just wonderful. Without doubt the best holiday cottage I've stayed in. Lynne is the dream host. The cottage is beautiful and it was a wrench to tear ourselves away from the incredible view. Very well equipped with everything from tupperware to washing machine. True isolation but only a short drive from great things to see and do like drumlanrig Castle (a true hidden gem) biking at forest of ae and delicious food in Thornhill. Im reluctant to leave this review as dont want others to know about this marvellous place. If you're not sure whether to book it...let me help you out...book it. You won't regret it.

Corriedow is a wonderful place. It looks down a beautiful valley and you are surrounded by fabulous views all around. The house is very tastefully furnished in contemporary style and every convenience is available (including excellent internet connection) to make for a very comfortable stay. Our hosts were so friendly and helpful and the generous welcome pack, bouquet of flowers and gently flickering candles on arrival were one of the many little touches that made our stay so special. We did numerous walks and cycle rides from the front door. Each day we would walk or ride for miles in the spectacular, very picturesque and empty countryside . There are also excellent places to visit nearby including the galleries and museums of Kirkcudbright, Drumlanrig Castle and Gardens and Crawick Multiverse. Just 15 minutes away in the nearby village of Moniaive there is also the extra bonus of an excellent Italian restaurant. So, if like us, you want peace, quiet, beautiful surroundings, luxurious accommodation, helpful and knowledgeable hosts, we thoroughly recommend Corriedow ….and Tesco can even deliver to your door!

The best welcome we've had at a holiday cottage. The owner went above and beyond to look after us and make sure we were happy, even recommending several restaurants to eat at and thereafter booking us a meal. Within the cottage everywhere was so nicely decorated and warm, cosy and inviting. It was well furnished and comfortable, with everything needed, including great Internet access for the teenager! Surrounding the cottage was a beautiful landscape and wildlife. Just perfect.

The location is beautifully remote (as can be seen on the drone footage video on the Rural Retreats information about Corriedow) so peace and quiet and stunning scenery are guaranteed. The house itself is perfect - immaculately clean, warm, luxurious and comfortable. As a rental property, it is well-equipped for self-catering, there's a drying room for wet walking clothes and boots and there's easily enough space for five adults to enjoy the house (and the wifi didn't let us down!). The owners, Lynne and Alec live on the farm that the house is located on - about half a mile away down a single track lane - and are on hand to provide helpful local information if required. We loved our week at Corriedow and hope to be able to return as soon as possible.

The location is stunning. The house is spotlessly clean and beautifully appointed. Very comfy and cosy. Lynne is absolutely lovely. Very informative and helpful and the welcome basket she provides is amazing. It provides you with enough goodies, both practical and treats, so that you can settle in when you get there and don't have worry about getting groceries etc. until later. It was the perfect isolated holiday at a time when you want to feel safe, but still do something special and get away from it all. Thank you.
