Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Perfection
Booked as a family to celebrate my daughters birthday and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is even more spacious and well equipped than photographs. With 4 showers, there is plenty of space for 8 people. Tracey is most helpful and her attention to detail was first class. The garden is a perfect place to relax and hot tub clean and warm. My granddaughter appreciated the trampoline. Parking on drive for three cars and 1/2 mile from outlets was another attraction. Tracey had a bottle of Prosecco chilling in the drinks fridge for our arrival, plus tea and coffee pods. The lounge has a log burner which would be great in the winter or amazing at Xmas. Thank-you Tracey.

What a house!
Really high standard house, well worth the visit!! Loved the hot tub and great for the kids in that there are large TVs in almost every room (even in the bath), along with a sunken trampoline in the garden. Tracey is a really good host, there when you need here but likewise not imposing so exactly what is required. Highly recommend.

Fantastic house!
We were looking for a getaway break due to our usual summer holidays being cancelled due to covid. I wanted somewhere nice with a hot tub and I was shocked at the price of log cabins with hot tubs. For the same money I could rent this beautiful house with much more space and mod cons than a similar cabin. Tracey was very helpful in explaining everything. The house was spotless with every utensil you could ever need with great thought going into the requirements for young children such as high chair and toys etc! The decor was stunning and the house is finished to an extremely high standard. Location is good, walking distance to Gretna green outlet, train station is walking distance and you can be in Carlisle in 13 minutes. Newcastle and Blackpool are just over an hours drive away where we also visited on our trip! Can’t wait to return!

Highly recommend
Highly recommend this property. We had a wonderful stay here. Tracey couldn't do enough for us, very friendly, relaxed and professional. Lots of little touches to make our stay special. The house is so clean and modern and the hot tub is maintained to a very high standard. Everything was immaculate. I came with friends, but we would all like to come back with families and one friend came from Denmark and would return with her family! In easy walking distance of train station and Outlet centre. We didn't go anywhere else as the the house and hot tub were so good we wanted to make the most of them! Was lovely in the sun sitting in the garden, but would be great in the winter with cosy fire. Highly recommend.

Wow
Stayed here with family for my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary and we have had a fantastic stay. There is nothing that Tracey the owner hasn’t considered when setting up this house. Access was fabulous for my father who has walking difficulties with there being a ground floor bedroom and an amazing accessible shower room on the ground floor. We had no small children with us but every safety consideration has been made and families with small children could happily relax with safety gates in place and toys available. We did have teenagers with us who made fantastic use of all the technology and TVs available (we didn’t hear much from them which is always a bonus 😉) The house is immaculately clean and the kitchen is amazing, every item of equipment you could imagine. Tracey the owner is lovely and couldn’t do enough for us. If you are considering a stay in Scotland I would highly recommend this house.

Wonderfully appointed house
We stayed in this house for 4 nights with our daughter, son in law and three young grandchildren to help out with the children at a Wedding weekend. The house is possibly the best equipped we have ever stayed in with very good quality kitchen utensils and knives. There is so much space for a large family, the kitchen diner is huge, modern and light with bifold doors to the garden, the downstairs bathroom is also very spacious and there is a separate lounge. The children had great fun on the trampoline, all the family enjoyed the hot tub and the toys were an extra bonus and our two year old granddaughter loved the dresses in the dressing up box. For my husband and I, the unexpected bonus was finding Sky sports installed and we were able to watch The Open golf while babysitting. The house is on a busy road but the garden is securely fenced with a lockable gate so that children are safe. The railway station is a short walk away so trips to Carlisle and Dumfries are easy. We highly recommend this house and Tracey is a lovey, helpful, welcoming host.
