Beautiful and cosy cottage. Lovely setting. Had everything we needed. Weather was shocking for the whole of our visit but put the fire on and a good movie and we were sorted. Dumfries & Castle Douglas close by for visits. Supermarkets about 15 minutes drive Great place for walks

What an absolute fabulous place! We had a fantastic weekend in this amazing house, set in a stunning location. The property was spacious, comfortable, cozy, tranquil and decorated beautifully. Would highly recommend and look forward to our next stay.
Shona
Lovely roomy and comfortable cottage, beautifully furnished, in the heart of the countryside on a working farm. We could watch red kites flying daily over the nearby fields and a weasel hunting in the fields from the upstairs windows. Splendid spot for dark sky star gazing - can do from the comfort of the lovely hot tub in the garden. Good base forRead more exploring the forests of Galloway and the beautiful Solway Coast. Highly recommended. Hide

Reanne
We stayed here with 7 adults, a newborn and 2 dogs and couldn't fault the place! It was spotlessly clean, had everything we needed and had beautiful views. The host was extremely helpful, I asked if we could check in slightly early if possible and he was more than accommodating with our request and very good at communicating with us!
Georgia
We had the most amazing week at braco and would love to go back in the future. The house was so clean and modern with everything you could need to make your stay homely and comfortable. The location of the house is perfect to travel round to local places for the kids with the most we drove being 45 mins and the least 10 mins. We even had a visit fr om the owner to check everything was ok, which was so special. Perfect place for a family including our 2 pooches.
Susan
We had a fabulous time at Braco. The farmhouse is spacious, well set out, immaculately clean and has everything required for a great holiday. The outside patio with comfy furniture, hot tub and grass to the side had fabulous views and provided the perfect place to relax. It was secure for our dog and our daughter was fascinated watching all the wil d rabbits in the garden and fields nearby. Wouldn't hesitate to rebook as it was so relaxing, spacious and well equipped.
Yvonne
Cottage was lovely very clean loved the decor kitchen was a great size & very well equipped thanks for the lovely well come pack tea & coffee supplied.

Thanks

Really lovely property, good space for socialising and plenty of kitchen items to use. Property is quite remote, and no houses around (which we loved). Lots of seating and garden furniture. Overall we would go back to stay in this property. Host is really friendly.
Suzanne
A beautiful house set amongst gorgeous farmland. The rooms were spacious and clean. For 2 families merging together it worked brilliantly. The house was well equipped and we had a lovely welcome basket on arrival. Would definitely go again!
Jacqueline
Beautiful, spotless and well equiped place to stay, everything you need is there in the kitchen from utensils to condiments. Large clean property and the location is fab! The indoor and outdoor space is great and the property is well looked after. Ideal location if your looking to just get away and have a relaxing weekend.

Beautiful cottage, decor and furniture of a high standard. Spotless on arrival. Booked for 8 adults for a weekend, everyone was impressed and we plan to return again next year. Beautiful secluded location. Perfect for a relaxing time away.
Heather
A beautiful house, ideal for a chilled holiday away from it all. Spacious house with hot tub and if you bring some logs with you, you can benefit from the wood burner too. A perfect space to catch up with family or friends in a quiet location.

This house was gorgeous and such great value for money. We were staying for a girls weekend away and we had tonnes of space. Everything was provided for us and had a lovely welcome basket which was very much appreciated. Getting there was easy with directions and we had a brilliant weekend. We will def be back for another stay.

We booked this cottage as a surprise for our friends 30th birthday. Amazing locations, great views of the country side. Tesco 5 mins down the road. Hot tub was a great feature. Open fire and tv to chill. Great side rooms and lovely open plan kitchen. Overall amazing visit.
Karen
We had a great week on holiday staying at Braco. House great. Clean, spacious and kitchen well equipped. Loved it and we all would definitely return. Thank you.
Janine
We had an absolutely brilliant weekend at Braco Farm. The house was beautiful, every room spotless and immaculately decorated. And lots of storage. We received a lovely welcome basket and the kitchen had every gadget you could ask for. The toaster could even fit whole slices of bread, none of the having to turn it halfway through! The highlight was that every single window gave picture perfect views. The rural location meant no light pollution so star gazing from the hot tub was bliss.
Shelagh
This is a beautifully furnished and decorated property. It was spotlessly clean and well stocked with appliances and kitchen equipment. The surrounding countryside is beautiful but quite remote, the nearest shop and pub being a 15 minute drive away. It's therefore very quiet and peaceful. We were welcomed with a small hamper of goodies so were able to have a cuppa as soon as we arrived.
grigor
From the moment we drove up the drive and saw the view then this glorious cottage we loved every minute . We were welcomed by milk in fridge coffee tea sugar in pots washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets everything was thought of and our host was there in minutes when we had a slight problem it was fixed sorted and he was gone all in under an ho ur brilliant and so polite .Thank you for your part in a wonderful holiday

What a fantastic place to stay. We are a family of 7 adults and a 9 month old baby. We love to get together for family meals and a good laugh. Braco Cottage was a great place to do this. The accommodation was second to none. There was everything we needed. The space was great, beds were comfy, it was lovely and clean and we loved the bonus of the h ot tub. Would definitely holiday there again for longer next time - 4 nights wasn't enough time and we didn't want to leave!! Thank you :)
Heather
This cottage was lovely, big and spacious and had everything you needed, even a wee welcome package from the owners! The cottage and hot tub were clean and the cottage was well furnished and really comfortable. This was the perfect place to get away and unwind, so quiet and beautiful surroundings. We will no doubt be back as our friend group and wi ll even look to bring the families independently.

5 of us stayed at this cottage recently for 3 nights as part of a friends hen do. The property was exactly as described, is beautifully decorated and very homely. More than the essentials were supplied, with bread milk, coffee, biscuits.etc. on arrival. Check in was easy and contactless and communication was efficient with the owner. If you follow the directions supplied it is easy to find. Would definitely stay again, wood burner and hot tub sealed the deal. Excellent value for money!
