    We liked everything about the roundhouse 🛖 ,the views were amazing as was the sunsets. We were celebrating our 70th birthdays and our 50 wedding anniversary there was a cake waiting for us to eat.. We saw Red Squirrel and Red Kite's plus lots of other birds in the garden.We both had a fantastic time and the weather was amazing.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍👍

    There was nothing I could fault.

    Beautiful place to stay, a gorgeous little sanctuary. Janet had left us a home baked birthday cake and homemade buscuits, which were both delicious. There was also enough tea, coffee, sugar, milk, and fresh orange juice to get you started. The place was spotless and there are books, board games, cards and puzzles. Absolutely loved the fire too. The view is stunning and you see a wide range of birds and wildlife visiting the garden. I could sit there all day just watching, it was so peaceful. The shower was great and plenty of hot water and i liked the heated towel rail too. Bed was extremely comfortable. Would stay again in a heartbeat. One of the best places we have stayed. Thank you Janet for your hospitality and for your kindness. Highly recommend the roundhouse the pictures dont do it justice

    Small issue with access to property. It might say more about my driving skills, but having a large car might be an issue managing the tight corner into the property.

    The location, driving distance to all the major towns and cities. Lovely walks close by and a gorgeous beach just minutes by car . Mossyard Beach. Quiet and peaceful windows with panoramic views The small garden had a variety of wildlife. The bed was so comfortable, and the property was very clean with everything you needed for a stay. I didn't want to leave.

    No issues or complaints for full trip.

    We absolutely loved our few nights away at the roundhouse. We were very surprised how spacious and warm it was. We came away for a few days to rest and that's exactly what we done. I think this may be the first place where id be happy to stay in all day and look at the amazing views and just enjoy each other's company. I would highly recommend and can't wait to return.

    Everything was perfect. An excellent get away from it all break. We even took the time to appreciate the variety of wildlife visiting the garden, including our favourite, the woodpecker. The view was beautiful and the sunsets were spectacular. Janet was an amazing host and the lemon drizzle cake really is that good!

    The place was just beautiful. We enjoyed just watching out the windows at the wildlife in the garden.... chaffinches, hares, robins, crows, rabbits, goldfinches, blue tits, such a good idea to have bird feeders! (Sorry if I forgot to mention anyone) Also, great views of the shore. Buses are just down the short track if you need to go anywhere. Otherwise the shoreline is just over the road and I believe there is a cycle path in the village for walking or cycling but we didn't venture onto that.

    The walks close by take you to an extremely busy main road, not really safe to cross or walk along given the amount of hgv traffic

    The roundhouse is such a cosy peaceful retreat. Has everything you need for a short stay. This was our 2nd visit late in the year, so the log burner was well used & kept the house cosy for hours

    There was nothing I did not like about the property, the bathroom was small, but that was to be expected in a place like this. I have a slight disability so it makes it awkward but for anybody else I’m sure it will be perfect.

    This was an unusual property to stay in and such a real experience. It was clean it was efficiently laid out and guess are well provided for. There was a very clear instruction booklet. Plenty of room for parking and a great location. It was quiet, a lovely place for solitude. The owner of the property was very responsive.

Great communication with the host and lovely little touches like brownies, milk and orange juice on arrival. Everything you need for a cosy, peaceful stay. I’ll definitely be back!

    Really clutching at straws for a negative but the only things I can think of was that the drying rack for the sink could do with an upgrade, the plates didn't seem to fit into the grooves and no place to dry cutlery.

    Isolated and quiet spot with a beautiful view. Ideal for getting away from busy lives. Julie made our visit hassle free and simple with a contactless check in / check out and a guide on how everything worked.

    The property was amazing, everything you need is there. It was the little touches that made it fantastic. Plenty of home comforts, from throws to a large comfy bed. The location is great, a lovely view and nice and secluded. A very well equipped kitchen(fresh milk, juice and cake on arrival), a proper shower/bathroom. Plenty of information about surrounding area and places to eat. The "Congratulations" banner and card were a lovely surprise. We had a wonderful Honeymoon and will definitely return.

    Nothing, it was all perfect, I wouldn't change a thing about our stay.

    What a gorgeous, idyllic place to stay. We loved the design and clever features of the Roundhouse, which meant we had everything we needed for a 2 night stay but also the luxury of a beautiful wide window view that considered sustainability too! Julie was amazing with replies to my questions before hand but also with checking in with us whilst we were there too. The location is perfect as it feels nice and private but was a short drive away from local towns.

    Amazing! Great facilities, views, location (8 miles from Newton Stewart). Sitting on the sofa every morning watching various birds (including Woodpeckers) and rabbits eating was such a treat. Walking to the smokehouse to get fresh food to eat in the garden. We definitely will be back to explore more of the area.
