Large, enclosed garden with sitting-out area and garden furniture. Bike store. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. Butterhole Cottage is in a truly delightful setting with fabulous views. Renovated in 2019, Butterhole Cottage is a warm and comfortable, single-storey cottage attached to the owners farmhouse. The living room benefits from a cosy wood burner and is situated to the front of the cottage making the most of the views. There is a small kitchen/dining room as well as two spacious bedrooms, perfect for enjoying a well-deserved rest.

Set in the heart of Mabie Forest, this property is in the ideal location to enjoy a variety of activities all within walking distance, including many and varied walking trails and some of the world-class 7Stanes mountain biking trails. There is even a butterfly reserve near by, as well as plenty of open space for children to run around and an adventure playground. A must for the whole family is a visit to Mabie Farm Park, nestled just below Mabie Forest where you can feed the animals and see the belted galloways, alpaca, llamas and much more. It will certainly keep you entertained all day.

Further afield this beautiful area of South West Scotland has so much more to offer from the quiet sandy coves and cliff top walks, to historic castles such as Caerlaverock and Drumlanrig. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, the area has many beautiful gardens to visit, including National Trust Threave Gardens and Logan Botanic Gardens, Scotland’s most exotic garden. A stay here would not be complete without taking a drive along the coast and having a wander round the seaside villages of Southerness, Rockcliffe and Kippford. After a day packed with adventure take a leisurely stroll from Butterhole Cottage to the local pub and enjoy a well-deserved drink. Beach 11½ miles. Shop 3 miles, pub and restaurant 500 yards.

We enjoyed 9 nights at butterhole cottage thanks to our host who thoughtfully left milk tea,coffee, biscuits, and a packet of treats for our dog. We took our 9 year old staffie away as he's terrified of fireworks. It was wonderfull and so peaceful. There wasn't any shops around but that's exactly what we wanted and it was only 13 minutes away from Dumfries in the car. We will definitely be returning. We would highly recommend this beautiful wee gem.

A lovely 3 nights with my family & our dog. Very comfortable, owners very friendly & thoroughly enjoyed by us all. In a remote spot, which we wanted, lovely & peaceful. Only criticisms (& they're not really issues) are that shower was a bit weak & temp fluctuated a bit & there was no ice cube tray! Hardly issues...!! Overall a quaint place, well equipped & very cozy. We loved it.

Fantastic location to make use of Mabie forest and surrounding area. Log burner grt and although kitchen is small it had everything you need. Could have been a bit cleaner although you are in the country so guess the odd spider to be expected! I would say it was fine for a family of 4 with 2 being kids but you would struggle in dining and couch in lounge with 4 adults. Lovely welcome treats for us and the dog which was a lovely touch

Great location, clean and comfortable. Only down side the shower is rather small and we aren't big people. Heather redponded quickly to our request for more logs. Area is accessible, and full of wildlife.

Welcoming communications by phone before we arrived. Milk and cakes left out for us. Lots of local tourist information. Spacious bedrooms with comfy beds, well equipped kitchen. The only negative was a rather cramped dining area, more than made up for by a large comfy lounge. Good wifi! Pleasant enclosed garden with open views, and pleasant walks from the front door into Mabie Forest. Friendly hotel serving good food just a short walk away. This cottage suited us perfectly
