Wonderful, the cottage is superb, quiet, comfy and incredibly well equipped ( especially in the kitchen) even has fibre WI-FI and a smart TV!
The most dog friendly environment.We went to explore and advise you get out and about - you will be incredibly rewarded, even out of the door. Walks we did and recommend ( do some research) Penbont to Kier Mill river walk, Tynron ( park in village hall car park) to Tynron Doon ( Iron Age settlement) well worth the slog- its beautiful. Rockcliffe on the Solway coast - beautiful coastal walk and drive to Steamboat inn at Carsethorne for a yummy lunch, lovely friendly pub with a stunning local real ale! Our favourite though was a drive through the Delveen Pass to the Gray Mares tail and waterfalls ( spectacular) then drive north about 1/2 way along St Maryâs reservoir and take the road to Tweedsmuir along Meggit and Talla reservoirs - about 18 miles of complete beauty and we passed 1 car and a cyclist! There is a walk just at the bottom of the hill with a board and a gate- park up and take the path up and view the river and scenic waterfalls- STUNNING, you will not want to stop going on! then drive on to lovely Moffat , we visited the distillery and bought a few bottles. On top of that you have Drumlanrig castle and itâs beautiful walks ( blue is best) on your doorstep.The hosts Pauline and Derek are lovely, unobtrusive and helpful when and if needed. We ( and the 2 Labradors) had an epic time.

Barnacle Cottage is a lovely cottage based on RSPB Mersehead. This is a great location if you are interested in nature or want complete peace and quiet. That said, the reserve is open to the public so you do have people driving and walking past your window and outdoor seating area. Being able to walk round the reserve late evening or early morning is a real bonus. However, if you are just looking for a base to explore the area I would suggest looking somewhere with more amenities. This cottage is nowhere near a shop, pub, etc. unless you want to drive. I had stayed previously and improvements have been made since then. However, I personally feel the cottage falls short of the standard you would expect for the price. Whilst generally clean, I think many people would feel the need to do further cleaning before being able to settle. I washed all crockery and cutlery I needed before using it as some items were far from fully washed. The cottage is well equipped but everything needs a good sort out. Overall the standard is good but there is a lack of attention to details. So 4* from me because I am a birdwatcher and love staying on a reserve but I would not recommended it to my non-birdwatching friends given the cost of renting.

Lovely cottage.
Youâre made to feel welcome as soon as you arrive. Fresh eggs from the farm were delicious. The kitchen is really equipped for cooking a meal. The garden was perfect for our two boxers dogs. There was sheep and lamb in the field right next to us so we got to watch the lambs playing around most mornings. The beds were comfortable and the whole cottage was clean/spotless. We all felt right at home. The weather wasnât the best but we made the most of it and hopefully can return in the summer. If not for the rain I would have been in the garden most of the time. We went to the Thornhill inn for dinner one night which was great pub grub food. Not far from the cottage only about 15/20 mins. We also drove to Sandyhills beach one day with was about an hour away. But worth the drive even if it did rain. The beach was lovely and the dogs had a blast. We went for dinner to the birchtree hotel when we left sandyhills and the meal was amazing. Must visit if your heading down there. We will defo visit again soon. Thanks to Pauline and Derek for being amazing hosts. Kelly Kev Charley & The Girls Tilly Billie xx

A beautifully maintained and spotless cottage.
From the bowl of free range eggs to the jar of delicious chocolate cakes and biscuits to the basket of dog toys in the cupboard, not a single thought had been forgotten to make us feel truly welcome. The hosts, Pauline and Derek were so friendly, even to Derek kindly coming to find us in the local village when we had got ourselves well and truly lost in deepest, darkest Dumfries-shire and leading us right to the cottage. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds/pillows very comfortable. Our two large Golden Retrievers slept with us on their vet bed in the twin bedroom and there was stacks of room. The dogs loved the totally secure garden. I would gladly give more than 5 stars if I could! We've rented quite a few cottages over the years and this was undoubtedly the best of the bunch. We'll be back!

This beautiful cottage far exceeded our expectations.
It was much bigger than expected and was better equipped than my own home! It was such a peaceful haven and the bleating and frolicking lambs were a joy to watch and raised our spirits. We also heard our first cuckoo of the year! It was so comfortable and warm, and we had such good sleep in the amazing beds. Iâve made a note of the make of the pillows as they were so comfy too(a difficult thing to find!) We were left some extra special biscuits and fresh farm eggs in the kitchen. Thank you Pauline. Pauline and Derek were lovely, and perfect and attentive hosts, and always replied to any questions quickly. In essence we canât speak highly enough of Marr Cottage and the hosts and weâll definitely go back there to reset when required again.
