We returned to Kirkwood for a relaxing reset and were not disappointed. First time in Otter though we have stayed in other cottages on the farm. It’s an upside down cottage with both bathrooms downstairs, 3 big bedrooms, one upstairs with the lounge/kitchen diner. No complaints with comfort, cleanliness, equipment and the owners are always friendly and on hand. Games room has been updated and is clean and useable. There’s a new hot tub outside though I didn’t try it. Lots of woodland to explore. The only walkable pub/restaurant is the Thai but it’s always good quality if a little slow on servi...more
Excellent place to feel at home. Thank you for the hoste "Anthony" and his explaining about his farm. We ll be back hopefuly.
Staff were very friendly and so accommodating. Updating a few things but in no way did it affect our stay. Accommodation was great and kitchen was superbly stocked with all utensils. Tranquil setting, for those that want to get away from the grind. Great stay, thank you.
This was our 3rd visit to Hare Cottage and Kirkwood. We went with friends this time as we always find it relaxing, peaceful and a good place to unwind and recharge. One friend enjoyed long cycle rides from the farm to the coast and the rest of us had long walks to the river and around the farm in general, also playing snooker, darts and table tennis in the games room. As previously the cottage was clean, comfortable and fully equipped for a week's stay. Anthony was on hand to answer any questions if we had any questions or concerns but generally guests are left to enjoy the surroundings. ...more
As fishermen we did not spend a lot of time in the cottage but it had all we required for a comfortable stay. It was clean and rooms were a very good size. Would definitely stay again.
There’s nothing to match Kirkwood for the personal touch, constant improvements, cosy home from home comforts, dog friendly holidays, mushroom picking and locality. Returning yet again and this time we noticed the games room has been updated and new furnishings in the cottage which is described as a 2 star but feels more like a 3. Wifi was very good, very well equipped kitchen, main bed very comfortable- the mattress on one of the twins could do with replacing. The nearby Thai and Thales/gin bar are still there and there’s a Tesco and Aldi at Lockerbie and Annan but don’t expect to get any jus...more
Ideal for us as a short break dog loved the walks and wanted to bring lambs home. South Lodge was as described online and all staff very friendly and helpful.
