Solway Cottage is situated in the pretty village of Powfoot, only a few steps away from the Solway Firth shoreline.
The cottage is the first on the left, opposite the right hand turning into Ellerslie lane, as you descend into the village. The welcome gifts were greatly appreciated and enjoyed. The settees were comfortable with plenty of cushions. The twin beds, which had been put together to create a large double bed, were very comfortable and we slept well each night despite it being the hot weather in early September. However, there were no pillow protectors and one of the mattress protectors was stained. There is plenty of kitchen equipment though I found the food storage cupboard very small. The shower was very good and has coloured lighting to enhance the experience! The back/ side door was extremely difficult to open and lock , this may need some attention. The washing machine, which we only used once, sounded as if it was a concrete mixer, the noise was dreadful, it may require a service or replacement. The bedroom curtains were not thick enough to keep out the very early morning sunshine and blackout liners could be useful and easy to install. The fridge and freezer struggled to stay cold in the recent very hot weather, a blind on the porch door may be worth considering. There is no information about recycling glass bottles and jars, we brought ours home to recycle. We were alarmed at the prospect of a £250 Good Housekeeping Bond charge given that the whole of the property needed a deep clean. We found clumps of dog hairs everywhere, including hairs in the fridge! We were aware that this is a dog friendly property when we boomed but werenât expecting this. We did clean the property to a better standard than that which we found. The curtain tie backs were on the floor, I reinstated them to their correct position. The bin in the kitchen had no top but I found it, broken, in the under sink cupboard, this I mended and put back on the bin. The under sink cupboards are dirty and so were skirting boards. There are lots of stains and marks on walls. Maybe others would be content to put up with all of this. We wonât be booking again to stay at Solway Cottage.

This accommodation has been very well organised and everything required is readily available in the farmhouse BUT three factors diminish its enjoyment : 1. incredibly hard mattresses on the beds, so unforgiving that I had to use a walking stick to get around for the rest of the holiday [and I don't usually need a stick !]. 2. the seating in the living room is generous but not particularly comfortable suffering the common problem of being too deep from front to back of the seating surface. 3. a perennial problem that we have suffered over the last 30 years : excessively dim lighting in the living area. The assumption seems to be that all guests will spend their evenings watching the TV, playing on an iPad or fiddling with their 'phones. We found the level of lighting so low that it became difficult and unpleasant to try to read a book or newspaper. Such a shame about these important details because we feel the owners have got the place fitted out about 85% right ! Hope all this helps ! With more accommodating mattresses, we would certainly visit again.

This is a nicely located property close to the sea, and with dedicated off-road parking.
It has an excellent bathroom with a decent shower. The kitchen is small but fine for a week. The bedrooms are small but OK & with plenty of hanging space & drawers. The lounge/diner is large & airy, but suffers from 2 weaknesses which should be remedied quickly. The first is there is only one lamp - so we had to move that to the dining table to eat in the evenings and then unplug it & move it back to the side of the sofa afterwards. A second lamp would cost very little but enhance the experience significantly. The worst feature of this property by a mile is the television. It is not a SMART, so it's not connectable to the Wi-Fi, and therefore it's impossible to connect to Netflix/Amazon Prime/BBC i-Player/X. It isn't even possible to connect your mobile to the set with wires - as the set is so old it only has the old video connections - no USB connections. This is really something the owner should address - these days everyone uses catch-up TV, and not having access to it was a negative. The welcome pack was nice & much appreciated too.

A beautiful house we were very privileged to stay here for 7 nights and did not want to leave. Large house with spacious rooms all round including the outdoor space, we all immediately felt at home and were extremely comfortable. Home from home, the kitchen is fully stocked with all the utensils needed to rustle up dinners for our family of 7. The beds were so comfy, not a complaint from anyone. The location itself is set within a very quiet area off the main road from the village of Corsock( approx 1 mile or so). The road itself to the cottage is single track with passing places however is in a poor state of repair in many sections, your car may take a bit of a beating with the many pot holes. As the crow flies the location is not far from the towns of Dalbeattie or Castle Douglass, however around 20 to 30 minutes drive your pace is dictated depending on which road you choose and have to negotiate. Overall, a real gem. Definitely be back.

We have just come back after a lovely week 19th-26th aug at the cottage. Glaisters farmhouse is a fantastic place. It has stunning view and the house has everything you could imagine. It's literally home from home. We will most definitely be rebooking this for another holiday. We would also recommend this place to friends and family and we give this 10/10 for everything. Ideal for anyone who loves the country roads and countryside view. The road leading up to the house does have a few pot holes and cattle grids but once you have arrived you won't want to leave. I no I didn't want to leave. Also would recommend the coco bean factory if you have children and ayr and girvan are great places to go. I would recommend driving to dumfries for the tesco as I went to the castle Douglas one and they didn't have much in store but there is a big co-op you could use.
