GLENUCE ABBEY

The Abbey which is an old monastery is well worth a visit, it's quite interesting and a very nice setting. It’s only 5 minutes by car from The Galloway Steading should you prefer to drive and spend some time there. Only a 25/30 min walk so a lovely way to spend the day too.

Located in Dunragit only a 10 minutes drive form The Galloway Steading with wonderful views. Lovely woodland garden. Lots of lovely things to see or a nice place to sit and have a picnic. The tea room serves lovely brunch and lunch, and is a lovely place to sit to enjoy the surrounding gardens.

Our pod was so nice, very clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed in it, hot tub was brilliant and the views from it are stunning, we got the smores kit and made them with the fire pit in the garden, we can't wait to come back and stay longer

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely wonderful time staying in the Hedgehog Hideout. My 2 kids (age 3 and 1) had the best time. The lodge is extremely safe for young kids. A travel cot was kindly provided for my youngest and my 3yo loved the bunk bed. The garden is fully enclosed and was perfect for our spaniel. The hot tub was great and the perfect place for stargazing! The hosts were very responsive via email if I had any questions. We will definitely be back again soon! One of our favourite places to go now!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely place and in a great area. Garden is enclosed and the fence was high enough to keep in our spaniel who can jump very high. Checking in was contactless which made it easy and stress free. Will be back again

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Myself & 2 friends have just returned from a weekend in the "Hedgehog's Hideout". Absolutely fantastic time was had by all of us.  The pod was stunning & very well equipped with everything we needed.  Suzi was so helpful and responded to any questions we had super quick.  We opted for late check out, which was only £10 extra and gave us more time to chill in the sun 😁
Hot tub & firepit were fantastic. Also, added bonus of some lovely wee visitors , the Steading cats, Rainbow & Blue 🐾🐈‍⬛
There is a wee honesty shop on site, handy if you forget firewood & s'mores goodies.  It also has books & games you can borrow, as well as eggs/jam/soaps on sale.  The location is fantastic & has plenty walks nearby.  We also visited Dalscone Farm in Dumfries which was brilliant 😁
We will definitely be back here.  Thank you so much again 🩷

 Dairy Cottage was perfect for our needs. It's a lovely wee place in an ideal location for exploring Dumfries and Galloway (assuming you're driving). I only wish we'd booked a longer stay, because there's an overwhelming number of things to do nearby, including many intriguing walks in the immediate vicinity. The cottage feels freshly decorated and clean, and the bed is comfortable - we slept very soundly. There is a fully equipped kitchen (coffee and tea provided, plus eggs, jam and bread), and the bathroom has a bath as well as a good shower. 10/10!

 Lovely cottage just what we were looking for.  Outside space, a private courtyard and shared secret garden, were much appreciated.  Very helpful friendly host, overall highly recommended.  We will return.

 Beautiful cottage. Very tastefully decorated throughout. Very clean and tidy. Everything in there. Left some essential items for us i.e tea bags, coffee, eggs, butter, fresh orange, bread rolls and jam to start your first morning off. Lovely private courtyard for your use. Picnic benches in garden for your use. Lovely walk to the beach. Gorgeous area to explore. Enjoy

 We had a lovely weekend at Dairy Cottage with a warm welcome from Tracey on arrival, along with some added extras including eggs, homemade jam and dog biscuit!  Everywhere was clean and plenty of information available in the cottage and from Tracey herself, and communication from point of booking was brilliant.  Great circular walk from the cottage to the beach and along the riverbank, it was a really relaxed setting and we would thoroughly recommend.  For a meal out, would also recommend The Colfin Creamery, about a 15 minute drive away.

 Tracey’s place is excellently situated near a beautiful beach and in easy reach of Stranraer ferries to Northern Ireland.  Tracey provides a warm welcome, lots of little extras in terms of information and basic foods.  The place is spotlessly clean and very well maintained with all the necessary amenities.  I would highly recommend staying there.

 We were down for a working trip and the apartment was great, it was clean and well kitted out, bigger than it looks in the photos too.  There is a charming private courtyard to the rear and a picnic table are out the front. 

It was very conveniently located just off the main trunk toad in the area yet it was quiet and peaceful.  

The hosts were very helpful and check-in and out was very easy via a keybox. 

A great cosy warm place in a lovely setting, we hope to be back before long.
