“Cottage was immaculate, comfortable and had everything we needed.”

Location was very private considering there were 4 other modes of accommodation. Grounds were well maintained with our cottage enjoying a viewing platform overlooking a river. Hot tub was an absolute dream, again felt very private. Really enjoyed being able to unwind, relax, enjoy a bottle of wine, (left by host), and get away from the madness.

“We were in the area earlier than the 4pm check in and we called Danielle to see if we could arrive a little bit early, She checked with the cleaner and then called us back to say it was ready early for us, which was a nice start to our break.”

When we arrived we were greeted by Danielle and her two lovely dogs and she told us about the hot tub, walks in the area and places to eat nearby, all extremely helpful. The cottage was spotless! You could see it had been deep cleaned ready for us, we found a lovely bottle of prosecco and some home made rocky road brownies waiting for us in the kitchen which was a nice touch by the owners. The cottage was warm, cosy and right next to the river Esk. The hot tub was huge and great to relax in on a night with a glass of bubbles ! We had a newly built viewing area down some steps over looking the river, this would be lovely on a warm morning/evening to sit and watch the wild life. Bed was very comfortable and plenty of wardrobe space, could have done with more hangers in the wardrobe and one of the roller blinds was broken, no pully to open/shut the blind. Bathroom was light and airy and has a very good shower, plenty of towels (even though we took our own too), the shower glass door is very loose and can open so water can go on the floor, this needs attention. Kitchen was a great size and had plenty of cupboards but few glasses, only 1 wine glass and no prosecco glasses. It has two plastic glasses for out side but not great to drink out of while chilling in the living room, and needs a blind at the front door window. Outside area was relaxing and plenty of wood and matches for the chimenea, it does have a small two seater wicker sofa but the cushions had been left out so they were wet and mouldy, not sure why these weren't brought into the cottage ? so we couldn't use that seating area. We are been a little picky with these issues but they are so small and could be easily remedied to make the cottage even better than it is, we will definitely be going back, such a relaxing spot away from everything, just what's needed if you want a chilled out break!

“We enjoyed our stay, the cottage was excellent, the owners were also excellent, friendly and informative, their local knowledge was invaluable.”

We would not have known about the village of Powfoot a small coastal village near Annan. or the river walk to the church and swing footbridge had they not advised us. the only shortcoming was that the roads did not have footpaths which made walking difficult. However, very enjoyable.

“From start to finish we were kept informed of developments during the COVID restrictions and we were offered new dates as soon as they were available.”

The holiday itself? The best, most relaxing week ever and the prosecco and brownies left for us on arrival was a lovely surprise. The hosts, Danielle and Trevor are amazing. We had planned to get married whilst there and our wonderful hosts went above and beyond the call of duty to make our wedding day extra special. Thank you so much, we will never forget your kindness. The cottage itself is beautiful, and felt amazingly clean and comfortable. Everything you could need for a romantic break for two. Sitting in the hot tub listening to the birds singing in the mornings, the chimnea and viewing platform above the beck made this holiday perfect. We have already booked to go back next year!

“We had such a lovely time!”

The cottage itself is beautiful but it’s the scenery and the environment around really makes the experience! The owners were lovely and friendly! Highly recommend! Amazing <3

“Our stay at Carwinley was everything we needed.”

It was extremely relaxing and gave us the break we needed from our busy day to day lives. We received homemade brownies and a bottle of bubbly on arrival which was a great gesture from the very welcoming owners. Towels and toiletries were provided, the hot tub was a great extra! The hot tub was always hot which was amazing to relax in surrounded by nature. It looked onto fields and trees with a stream just down the stairs from the hot tub. The cottage was extremely roomy with plenty storage space and kitchen space for home cooking. I couldn't recommend this cottage enough for a relaxing romantic retreat!

“Absolutely Beautiful Cottage”

Denise and Trevor couldn’t have been more accommodating. We arrived late on a Sunday and met there lovely daughter who showed us round and gave us a heads up on the best restaurants in the area. In the cottage we had a brownies and Prosecco waiting for us along with tea, coffee, sugar and hot chocolate! The cottage and hot tub was beautiful with a river at the bottom. All lovely and clean and fresh. We had an amazing break in the country and would definitely love to go back!

“Weekend “Getaway””

The Mrs and I wanted a weekend away from the daily grind and this cottage was just that. In a beautiful setting with lovely surroundings. A very well equipped cottage perfect for two people. Clean and tidy and the hot tub was fantastic. Perfect getaway to switch off and unwind. When I say switch off - I mean complete digital detox as there is no WiFi or phone signal. Just what the doctor ordered ! Loved the brownies by the way (on a plate ready to eat on arrival). And thanks for the non alcoholic drinks which was a really nice personal touch.

“Relaxing”

We have just arrived home from a four night stay, This was our honeymoon and was wonderful. We were greeted by the owner Danielle with a bottle of fizz, wedding banners and homemade scones. Lovely cottage, with the outdoor hot tub. Wonderful surroundings for walks or just relax in the hot tub. Would definitely go back.

“Couldn't have asked for more... First Class”

We have just returned from simply the best week at Carwinley Mill Cottage. From the moment we arrived, the welcome could not have been warmer from Danielle, Trevor and the dogs! We arrived to a bottle of bubbly, fresh milk and home made chocolate brownies..mmm! The cottage is beautiful, superbly equipped and the hot tub just tops it! We must give a very special thank you to Danielle and Trevor for being the most wonderful hosts. Not only did they act as witnesses at our wedding in Gretna, but they took us there in their Range Rover, ribboned up just for us and also provided champagne on the way and then decorated the cottage with balloons and banners for our return after the wedding. They really did go the extra mile, and we will be returning for our anniversary if not before!! Thank you for a wonderful week! Kevin & Jo Jennings x

“Relaxation at it's finest”

Although it's a few mile from the nearest town and to me not a well known place, this place is a great place for most people whether your someone who likes to go for walks or just wants to sit back and relax, it's the perfect getaway. Compact and cosy is the best way to explain it. From the day we arrived we felt like we were made very welcome from the hosts along with the 3 dogs who always came to greet you every day. They allow you to take a tour of their land, which is around 3 acres. A taxi service is also offered if you want to head to a pub from Trevor which is extremely generous. The thing that made this place great for me has to be the hot tub. I want one haha. Despite not having the weather and not being able to see the stars, it is just so relaxing no matter what the weather is and chill with a drink at whatever time you like. Research for activities to do is best done before you head there but Gretna is a decent place to go to if you have never been there before. To summarise, we really enjoyed our stay here and would happily return if we get the chance.

“beautfiul”

me and my partner stayed here for a long weekend and absolutely loved it! The owners were lovely and couldn't do more to help whilst also leaving us to do our thing and enjoy our holiday. The cottage is beautiful and really cosy and not forgetting the hot tub which was absolutely amazing, it made the holiday!! It was a perfect little break in a stunning setting, just be prepared for a lot of walking if you dont have transport as the nearest shop is an hour walk away! other than that, perfect!

“perfect getaway and base for exploring”

We were excited by the pictures on the website and the cottage totally lived up to expectations. The owners were there to greet us and show us around, and had provided bread, milk, homemade scones and bramble liqueur! At night time and after long walks around lakes and along Hadrian's wall, the hot tub umder the stars was perfect! We will happily go back again for the hideaway base!

“Great stay!!”

Really enjoyed staying at the cottage. We stayed for four days and will definitely be returning in the near future. It's a beautiful cottage and very peaceful, with loads of grounds to explore. The hot tub was the added bonus which we took advantage of every evening. We were warmly welcomed by the owners and their lovely dogs. Recommened this cottage to all our friends and family.

“Breath-Taking”

Myself and partner spend 4 nights in this cottage. On arrival, the owners were there to greet us, and answer any questions. Then, showing us around the cottage, welcomed us with homemade liquors, bread, milk, teabags & sugar, a small thought, that went a long way. After our welcome, the owners were more than happy to help with bags and recommendations, one thing that made this place so special was the owners being on hand if we needed them, offering to take us out in there own car to a romantic restaurant to make sure we could have a good night and returned safe and sound. The cottage was beautiful, very homely and extremely clean, the hot tub was a definite bonus, but it wasnt the main feature, sitting in the lounge in front of the fire was so peaceful. My partner has also added that the sky+HD was brilliant, having the chance to watch football and relax was amazing. We will defiantly be returning to Carwinley, an added bonus for us, is its the place, we finally started our relationship, so Carwinley holds a special place in our hearts.

“A peaceful honeymoon”

I would recommend this cottage to everyone looking for a relaxing get away from normal everyday hectic life. The owners of the cottage are so lovely and helpfully they told us lots a great places to visit. There dogs also made us feel very welcomes with lots of cuddles and kisses. The cottage had everything you would ever think you would need. It was comfortable and so very clean you couldn't have asked for more. The out door hot tub was amazing so lovely and warm on chilly nights looking up at the stars. The cottage is about 3 miles from the local town,shops and pubs. So you really did feel you were alway from everything all you could hear was the birds singing in the trees and the water running down the stream near the cottage I absolutely loved the place and everything about it and can't wait to go back for another stay
