The Galloway Steading-The Herons Nest cabin with Hot Tub couples/families

"Just what me and my partner and 2 dogs needed super easy check in and the pod was amazing clean and every thing wee needed and accommodated for the 2 dogs as well hot tub was warm and relaxing and the 2 dogs had a blast and loved the garden ( large American bulldog and Staffordshire Bull terrier) will be booking up to go back"

10/10 Excellent

"Very happy, check in was easy and the caravan was lovely. We had an issue when we arrived and the hosts responded with a solution straight away. Great service and a lovely place to stay"

The Galloway Steading- The Fox's Den couples retreat cabin with Hot tub

10/10 Excellent

"Amazingly relaxed setup, lovely grounds, fantastic quality room and extras. The wife and I had an absolute blast with our dog for our anniversary. The hot tub was the star of our stay! Could not fault the place, even if we tried. Only tiny downside was a dog poop from a previous visitor had not been cleaned up prior to our check-in, which didn't bother us much as we had to pick our own up anyway lol, but can see how that would be very off-putting to others.Anyway, would definitely recommend this stay to anyone looking to unplug for a while in a beautiful spot with fantastic views. The honesty shop was also a nice touch."

Spacious House With Amazing Sea View

10/10 Excellent

"If you want to be away from it all, this is the place. There are more cows and linnets than humans for miles and the views of the bay at any time of day are just stunning. We loved being able to see the deer, hares and birds of prey in the adjoining fields - with the added bonus of spotting the odd seal or three relaxing in the tranquil waters of the bay or lazing on the rocks on an evening. We also lost (so!) many hours being entranced by the families of House Martins whizzing past the windows like aerial acrobats feeding their (incredibly cute) young under the eves. The house is really well equipped, the beds are comfy and the showers certainly do not lack any power! But the views of the bay from the main lounge are just fantastic and the main selling point. Elspeth was a great host and very helpful/responsive to all our queries. All in all, it was a wonderful week. 100% recommend."
