Cottage vacation rentals in Thornhill

Absolutely amazing place for a getaway. The cottage was spotless, smelt beautifully, nicely equipped kitchen and the hot tub was a great addition too! Martyn is very friendly and responsive when messaged. In short, if you’re looking for a quiet place away from everyone,surrounded by stunning scenery and a warm/cosy cottage, then don’t look further and get this booked! 100% recommend!

Lovely time with family at this great cottage. We had never been to this part of Scotland before and Penpont was a very convenient base to explore from. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay for four adults - we loved the log fire and the hot tub! The kitchen is well equipped for self catering and the beds are comfortable. An excellent place to stay for small groups.

Booked this cottage as a getaway to propose to my partner. She said yes, which was great, and the cottage is fantastic. The photos really don't do it justice, the bathroom is massive, bed really comfy and the hot tub is incredible and feels really private (pack flip flops for getting to and from the hottub). The gate to the river is lovely but it's steep so make sure you've got some hiking boots with you. If not, just leave via the front door and turn left to get to the same place. 20 minute drive to Carlisle and about 10 mins to Gretna. Plenty to see and do but you will need to drive, couldn't find a taxi service that was open. Had a really relaxing time here and can't recommend it enough. ps. avoid the cows in the field next to the river walk (the public footpath going to st Michael's well) - they will chase you.

Really enjoyed my stay here would 100% stay again

Our stay at The Stables was heaven. Paul welcomed us and showed us around and had even set up the hot tub for us arriving. The house was immaculate with everything you could possibly need and beautifully decorated too. We loved the Bluetooth mirror in the bathroom. The garden was beautiful and so peaceful and our two dogs loved it, it was completely secure for them which meant we could relax. The view from the garden and the location were wonderful, it was just what we needed. We didn’t want to leave and would love to come back sometime soon. Thank you for being wonderful hosts and for our cheeseboard and Prosecco it was such a thoughtful touch.

For what our group wanted it was perfect not a bad word to say about the place, perfect or group weekend away in the country side just what a place!

We had an absolutely lovely time staying at High Swinside. Diana was an amazing host and went out of her way to make us all feel comfortable. I would highly recommend any of her cottages.

Staying at The Distillery was an absolute dream. Communication with Margaret was outstanding and we felt immediately welcomed. The welcome pack and touches were really appreciated. Location was fantastic and we could travel into the Lakes with ease, within Dumfries and Galloway, and even got the train to Edinburgh for a day out with ease. Evenings were spent relaxing in the hot tub under the stars. You won't be disappointed if you book here!

lovely cottage, lovely area and lovely people, including Andrew and Yvette. and the dogs ha ha ha

A lovely cottage in a beautiful area. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog and there were places to walk him too from the village. Location is quiet, peaceful and private.

Nic's lovely place in Wigtown is the perfect place to explore all the bookstores in town and the beautiful scenery with amazing views. It's easy to get to and into, spotlessly clean and well appointed. Thanks for a great stay Nic!

Knotts View was exactly what we needed for a peaceful break. Stunning location, gorgeous cosy property, immaculately clean. Chris greeted us on arrival and was on site in case we needed anything, which we didn’t as everything was provided and more. Fantastically equipped kitchen, super comfy beds, plentiful logs for the fire and a secure garden for our dog to potter around. We took advantage of the Royal Hotel for food and drinks, which is just a few steps away. Plenty of choice of classic pub food and local beers. Ideal location for exploring Ulswater, plenty of walks right on the doorstep with no need to drive unless you want to. Highly recommended. Many thanks to Chris and Ruth for an amazing break.

The cottage was excellent Linda was very friendly the village doesn’t have anything in it bar a hotel and shop but it’s really good for dog walking which was what we were after. Highly recommend if you want it quiet

Tim and I had a wonderful time staying at Stephanie’s Airbnb. She was very friendly and quick with communication. The house had a beautiful garden with a pond and a friendly chicken. The kitchen and living room was spacious and homely and the bed was super comfortable. We had come in spring so it was incredible waking up every morning to listen to so many birds and to watch the sunsets from the kitchen window at night. Will defo come again :)

What a fab find! We stayed here for 5 day's and really enjoyed our stay as did Sacha cat! It’s in a beautiful spot and very peaceful. The cottage is a fantastic space it has everything you need for your stay, the wood burner keeps the place cosy for lovely relaxing evenings. Would highly recommend the cottage and look forward to visiting again!

This is a super little cottage in a quiet, private lane but an easy walk from the middle of Moffat. It's outstandingly well-equipped, nicely decorated and very clean. Two things in particular stood out. First, the quality of the bedding. It's depressingly common to arrive at an Airbnb and find a cheap, thin, flimsy duvet and bobbly poly-cotton bed-linen, even in places where money has obviously been spent on things such as the television. Not so here, where there is a gorgeous feather duvet and pillows in cotton covers. Second, being able to control the timing and temperature of the heating rather than having this imposed by the owner. I was working all day and needed only a bit of heating morning and evening, not all day, and it was good to be able to organise a cool bedroom at night. Both these things made my stay memorable for all the right reasons. The owners are friendly, helpful and responsive and I'd recommend this wee place to anyone.

Loved my stay at this beautiful cottage. Such a spacious, homely cottage with an amazing big enclosed garden for the dog. I’ll definitely be back!

We had a wonderful week staying in Spa cottage. Well situated for walking and visiting local areas. Wonderful pub in village was a bonus, as was thecottageinthewood, restaurant/hotel at the top of the hill. Beautiful views and we were spoilt with great weather. Would definitely return.

Nice cosy cottage, lovely to meet you neil, thank you for welcome pack, A1 all round

Such a lovely host. Me and my family felt very welcome and right at home. The cottage has amazing scenery, very cozy inside. We will definitely rebook. Very happy

Lovely little cottage. Great location , easy walk into town centre and the bonus of a parking space. Cottage itself was clean and well equipped for the two of us. Friendly host with good communication.

We loved Fairy Cottage's location, very peaceful, but there is lots to do in the surrounding area and it's very close to Lochside where we were attending a wedding reception. Hugh was so helpful and friendly - nothing too much trouble. He greeted us when we arrived and showed us around. The cottage is beautifully decorated and has everything you could possibly need for a stay in this area. We only wished that we could have stayed longer - we were there for just 1 night. Angela had left us some little cakes which were much appreciated by us with a cup of tea after our 5 hour jorney from Lancashire after delays on the M6. Would definitely recommend Fairy Cottage if you're ever in New Cumnock area. Many thanks Hugh and Angela! Peter and Diane

We really enjoyed our stay at Keeper’s Cottage. Exactly what we needed for a post Christmas de-stress. The kids loved exploring the garden and Amy is a super helpful host, going above and beyond to make sure you have an enjoyable stay.

We have had a lovely few days here and would most definitely recommend the host John and the cottage
