    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Edward - Verified booking

      Stapleton Toll House is a very comfortable holiday accommodation and the owners have thought of everything to make your stay perfect.

      The house was spotlessly clean and is full of lovely furnishings which make it very homely, the kitchen has every utensil and dish you would ever need. An added bonus is having the open lounge to sit at watching TV, Netflix etc whilst someone else takes a turn cooking. The beds were extremely comfortable, both bathrooms and showers were also very modern and nice to use to. We liked having the other sitting room/lounge to use as this gave our teenager space to do his own thing using the Wi-Fi or watching the other large flat screen TV. The garden is just wonderful it is a lovely outdoor space to use as part of your holiday to relax and unwind either sat on the swing seat or under the dome taking in the surrounding country views. We loved sitting under the dome when the sun was too hot and then later roasting marshmallows over the fire pit watching all the garden lights twinkle. It is also great for any furry friends with plenty of space to run around and do their business, just be aware the whole garden is not 100% secure. The owners definitely take much pride in their holiday home and work very hard to make it perfect for their visitors by going that extra mile with all the small details. The Welcome hamper was also very much appreciated. Elaine was so helpful when i stupidly forgot something important, she sorted it all out and posted the items to my home address the same day...superb owners who really care! if in this area again we would definitely try to book Stapleton Toll again as the house is so central for lots of visits to places such as Dumfries, Carlisle, Gretna or even the lakes! Annan is only 2.5 miles away and has everything you need re small shops, pubs, chip shops, take away, and cafes there is also a Tesco and Aldi for groceries., We can recommend the friendly Bluebell Inn for a nice drink in their beer garden (taxi £5 each way) or Cafe 91 in Lockerbie for some tasty snacks. We also visited Hollywood Bowl in Carlisle for 10 pin bowling which we also enjoyed. Gretna is also worth a visit with its shopping gateway centre and also the Blacksmiths shop at the village just a few hundred yards away.. Ecclefechan has a lovely park to walk your dog s well as a dog friendly hotel if you want some refreshments afterwards. The park in Annan is also lovely, we used it every day to walk our dog. It is lovely and clean and has a path that runs alongside the River which our dog played in every day....he loved to have a swim and cool down in this warm weather! All in all if you book Stapleton Toll House you wont be disappointed in both the area or the accommodation,

    • Susan - Verified booking

      I cannot recommend this cottage enough!

      It really is beautiful. It is the best equipped holiday home we have stayed in and probably the cleanest. The whole house is comfortable and cosy, but spacious. This was given the seal of approval by our son who has autism and struggles to settle in new spaces - he was right at home here, which made for a lovely week. The garden is just WOW!! Loads of space and appealing to the senses (again approved by our son who loved sitting under the willow dome on a windy evening - as did we). Toasting marshmallows on the firepit under the dome, watching the sunset and then being treated to the garden light show is a perfect memory! The location is great and ideal for exploring Dumfries and Galloway. The cottage is situated on a local (tractors) busy junction but as the house is so well insulated the noise is absolutely minimal and the coming and going of tractors and cows provides some entertainment. We had one rainy afternoon (after a morning out) and it was a pleasure to just spend time in the cottage to enjoy the warmth and space. The welcome pack Elaine and Mal left was very generous and very much appreciated - it was lovely to meet the owners, by chance, who are warm, welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Stapleton Toll is an easy place to stay in and a very hard place to leave. We will definitely be returning. Thank you so much to Elaine and Mal for sharing your gorgeous home. x

    • Glyn - Verified booking

      The description of the property on the website is accurate so we got what we hoped for.

      The cottage is spacious, really well equipped with good quality fixtures and fittings. The views from the sun room and the garden area over the road are spectacular whatever the weather. The review asks for our Sykes experience but that's not the same thing as our experience of the cottage. The latter was all positive and we appreciated the efforts of the owners to provide us with a great holiday base. There doesn't seem to be anywhere else to record that Sykes sends too many emails - too many requests for reviews of a holiday yet to be taken, too many suggestions for new bookings when the current one hadn't happened. I asked for one piece of assistance before the holiday and got what I needed because the query was referred to the owners. Sykes were fine and if you have a property that suits me I might use you again but I will be blocking your too frequent emails. I don't have a problem with my comments being published but I do not want anything I have said to appear to be detrimental to the cottage owners - they did everything required to meet our expectations.

    • Angela - Verified booking

      A delightful and relaxing holiday.

      From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the charm and attention to detail that made our holiday memorable. It's about 6 minutes from Annan and sits alone in a large garden. The garden is ideal—large and well maintained. It gave us a peaceful retreat to play with the dog. We got to enjoy the willow dome and swing seat, surrounded by greenery. The lilies by the front door were stunning, and we loved walking past them and catching their scent. The cottage is so very peaceful, with a comfortable bed, two good showers, a well-equipped kitchen with high-quality appliances and utensils and the living areas were furnished with a perfect blend of style and practicality. The cottage has thoughtful touches, from the welcome backet and milk in the fridge to the art pieces. We very quickly found ourselves slowing down to a peaceful holiday-pace, and Una the dog enjoyed the calm and quiet and pootling about the garden. We can easily imagine how cosy the cottage would be with the fire lit during the autumn and winter months. We are looking forward to returning.

    • Annette - Verified booking

      Well, what can I say, that hasn’t been said before!

      Wonderful, beautiful cottage, very tastefully decorated, with great character and a great garden, to tire out pups chasing a ball( if not already tired after a great walk along the beautiful river Annan, watching Herons, kingfishers and fish jumping) we even saw a bee swarm which was amazing to see… the noise!!), back to the cottage, super clean and well stocked kitchen? Blimey, you need something, it’s there! At night the garden comes alive, with a fantastic light show, but as well as that the dark sky allowed us to lie on our backs and look at the million stars. We really enjoyed the swing seat and willow dome for a sundowner and our autistic son went from one tree swing to the next, loving the garden. We went to Powfoot beach a couple of times as we were blessed with amazing weather, sun cream and sun hats! A wonderful stay, can whole heartedly recommend this fantastic cottage!!
