Guests say
Field Cottage is praised for its peacefulness, cleanliness, and comfort, with guests enjoying the quiet location amidst wildlife and scenic views. The cottage is well-furnished and offers a cosy atmosphere, with some guests appreciating thoughtful touches like a welcome basket. However, some noted the need for maintenance, particularly in the kitchen and outdoor area.
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and well-maintained, though one review mentioned the presence of spiders and webs, and stained furnishings, suggesting room for improvement in cleanliness.
The cottage's location is highly appreciated for its tranquillity and proximity to attractions, though accessibility is primarily by car and some attractions have limited opening times.
Guests generally regard the cottage as comfortable and cosy, with comfortable beds and a constant temperature. However, one review suggested the need for additional blankets in one of the bedrooms.
The facilities are deemed adequate by most, with a well-equipped kitchen and good amenities. Nonetheless, some guests feel the kitchen and living room lighting could benefit from an overhaul, and the outdoor area requires some attention.
The provision of a welcome basket and essentials like bread and milk are mentioned as thoughtful gestures, enhancing the guest experience. It should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

We stayed at Field Cottage from 20/12/25 for a week to getaway after a tough year... It’s very clean, great size, brilliant location as it’s in the middle of nowhere with the best views you could wish for. The skies at night are so dark you can see the milky way and so many stars with the naked eye. Beds are comfy and heating was on a constant temp throughout but could be adjusted when it dropped cold. The kids loved toasting marshmallows on the open fire in the living room. A lovely welcome basket on arrival ensured we could have a snack before needing to go shopping (Tesco and Aldi in Castle Douglas).There are books and board games aplenty.The kitchen is really well equipped and I cooked for the entire week without any issues .. it’s an induction hob but easy to use with a great size fridge and freezer. Good clean fluffy towels were provided as well as bed linen but need to bring blankets for one of the bedrooms. Nice place to sit outside and watch the sheep and cows in the fields. Lovely places to visit within and hours drive although we rested last few days with it being Xmas. Would defo recommend to anyone visiting this beautiful country…

A simply lovely cottage in a very quiet location, very clean and well furnished. Some nice touches from the owners like providing bread and milk or when you arrive. Easy to get to the huge number of attractions in the area.

Very nice, clean and cosy. In between fields with beautiful surroundings. We saw deers, a hare and many beautiful birds. It’s situated in the middle of many touristic spots. We have seen a lot in one week but not everything. We would recommend it to our family and friends.
