This place is quite simply perfect. We had 8 adults and had so much room, the pictures don’t do it justice! The house is really stunning and so well designed. We never wanted to leave. The surrounding area is peaceful, remote and stunning, we walked so much our dogs were in heaven. The house is well supplied and we loved the free logs for the fire, other rentals charge a fortune, although the Aga makes the house incredibly toasty so we didn’t often need a fire. We cooked a full Christmas lunch in the kitchen and had everything we could possibly need. Absolutely outstanding in every way!.



Game keeper ruined our stay

I booked this accommodation for the SOLE purpose of hawking pheasants with Goshawks, emailed the estate office for dates and never got a reply.
Made several attempts to arrange dates with the keeper, eventually he agreed to give me 3 dates.
Unfortunately the ground was devoid of pheasants, impossible to walk on as it was harvested pine forest.
The gamekeeper did nothing to resolve our problem as he was more interested in gossiping on social media.
I emailed a complaint over and spoke to Oscar the estate owner who offered us a refund for 2 days worth of accommodation.
In hindsight I should have insisted that he refunded all three days.
I will not going in detail everything the keeper said as he was acting like a school boy in the playground, but saying to customers that are genuinely struggling to walk on the allocated ground that the estate does not provide Zimmer frames as part of the package.
Stating he is allowed to be a C*nt because he is a gamekeeper are just two examples.
It’s obvious that shooting and gun dog training get access to the “proper ground with pheasants” and the hawking people are pushed out so far so that they don’t disturb the pheasants that are for the guns and gun dog training days.
Thankfully many other estates offer real access to pheasants for Goshawkers like me and have equally as good accommodation with pleasant gamekeepers.

Fabulous family holiday in the most stunning of location.
House had everything (and more) that what was needed for a comfortable and cozy stay.
The location is totally stunning,loads of walks on your door step,and plenty of things to do/places to visit near by.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We had very clear directions and so it was easy to find in the late afternoon.
The house was warm, clean and comfortable. Thanks to the terrific mattresses and possibly a glass of wine we slept wonderfully well. The drying room is a great asset.
Overall we would heartily recommend staying here.
Thank you

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Diamonds Lagan. It was the peaceful retreat we were looking for, immersed on the estate and surrounded by the nature. The walks around the estate were lovely and we walked all day without seeing a soul. The cottage is well appointed with a perfect mix of traditional farmhouse features and the mod cons needed for comfort. Loved the vegetable box, many thanks to the gardener for the produce. We will miss the views from the property and will definitely be back.

Some niggly issues with some maintenance and inventory items which we gave feedback on but overall a very relaxing break.

Wonderful property in a beautiful estate. Spacious and very well appointed with access to miles of walking around the estate. Every modern convenience with lovely Aga and drying barn. Plenty of local attractions and dozens of red kites to watch at every moment. Will be back for sure.

Four households - 7 adults and one baby, plus 2 dogs - gathered at Diamonds Laggan for an Easter break. It is a fabulous venue , with plenty of space for everyone, very well equipped and really comfortable. Everything was of a really high quality, and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful, providing a travel cot and high chair for the baby. The extras- table tennis table, 2 bikes, outside dining and garden and our own trout lake- we all caught a fish!- were a real bonus. The location was beautiful, with plenty to see and do nearby. We were very lucky with the weather, glorious spring sunshine and daffodils and lambs aplenty, plus red kites circling outside our window. One of our best holidays ever!

Looked lovely on the photos, the house was clean and pleasantly warm. Outside the house looked very tired and needs repaint. Small garden was disappointing. Inside was as on photos. Some issues with leaking roof upstairs, only one lamp supplied during power cut. The placemats were tatty due too no chopping boards and only minimal amount of welcome features. (3 dishwasher tablets, one t towel, no extra loo rolls).
Would Not recommend, as outside space was limited for animals and children. Great for adults.

This our fifth stay at Diamonds Laggan which has everything that you need for a super family holiday, from a barbecue which we have often used to a large and an excellent drying room for when the weather is at the other end of the scale. Really useful for wet clothes and wet dog towels. Although the cottage feels remote the WiFi is very good for the wet days, and is in a very convenient location to explore the whole of Dumfries and Galloway, with easy access to paddle boarding on Loch Ken and clay pigeon shooting at Forrest Estates. The estate itself has a series of well defined peaceful walks and the whole estate has an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity. All the members of the estate team go the extra mile to make your holiday really special.

The estate was as stated with everything required for an amazing stay. A few minor issues that were noted such as internet, hoover, requests on booking etc. It would be worth booking trips in advance, due to going to coco beans and being full we then waisted a day finding something to do. However, if you are wanting a relaxing break, this is certainly the place for you.

Pros - good location, large outdoor space, private
Cons - beds not high quality, protectors for mattresses/pillows not clean, house generally a bit shabby, very few dishwasher tablets/washing machine capsules provided for week's stay, no nice touches like shortbread/milk etc provided as with other holiday rentals, not luxury as was expecting from photos/price, slow communication for booking etc

We loved the house and surroundings. It was brilliant to be able to bird watch from the kitchen wind. The estate was good for going running. We went wild swimming and enjoyed long walks in the area and had a great meal out at Mr Pooks in castle Douglas as recommended in the information provided.
