    The parking space at the back is a bit fiddly to access if your car is slightly bigger than average but it was easy to park at the front either on the grass or the road. The downstairs toilet is better suited to children as it is quite cramped and its easy to bang your head. The hot tap in the kitchen turns the wrong way so you do need to be aware of that. Most plumbers follow a protocol for taps so not sure how this has happened. If you have a dog they will love the beach which is only a few steps from the door. Very close to Dumfries and Galloway and Carlisle and the North lakes. I would be happy to stay here again if we ever wanted to revisit this area.

    The cottage's location was perfect with stunning views of the beach and beyond. The cottage was well-furnished, very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was well-equipped for preparing and cooking meals. We didn't venture far as we wanted a relaxed week, with daily walks along the beach which we enjoyed with our 18 month old Jack Russell. We will definitely be returning to Powfoot at some point this year and we would definitely rebook Pow-Wow Shore Cottage. Many thanks for the welcome treats too, much enjoyed with a cuppa after a nice walk on the beach.

    It is indeed a seaside haven looking onto the Solway with glorious sunrises,sunsets and amazing rainbows in-between. One tiny glitch was the difficulty opening the front garden gate. We eventually propped this open but everything else was first class..clean,comfortable, a lovely garden space to sit and watch the birds and butterflies, the views and walks on the beach. We highly recommend a visit to WWF Caerlaverock. Our Place in Annan and The Globe in Dumfries are very good places to eat. The Solway gin shop for different gins,liquers and chocolate is worth a visit.
