Chris the host is a lovely fella & such a sound fella. He even dropped us into town due to us running a bit late.

Just wished the table, chairs and bbq in the outside space had been better prepared for our visit. (Not often bbq weather I appreciate!)

Loved most things. Thanks x

Nothing…it was great.

Beautiful location overlooking the river set in Woodland, we could have happily stayed there for longer. A warm welcome and a lovely walk along the river bank made this a special and unique place. Inside kitchen and living area downstairs were fine, and the bedroom upstairs was large and airy with a very comfortable and wide.

The cottage was well equipped and in a beautiful location. Walking distance to all famous landmarks. Chris was a very welcoming host, freshly laid eggs from his chickens and freshly baked scones were truly amazing.

Absolutely nothing

Absolutely phenomenal stay with a fantastic views of the the river we really enjoyed our stay here the fact that we could bring our dog made it even better, enjoyed exploring the garden and down by the river aswell as having the coast close by and plenty of pleasant places to eat in with the dog this place did not disappoint, on arrival was greeted by a friendly host and really couldn't ask for much more other than we will definitely book a longer stay next time as I felt the 2 days went in so quick thats our fault nothing to do with doonbank 😊, really didn't want to leave and neither did the dog he normally cant wait to get home but this time it was a struggle getting him in the car lol he loved that he had all the natural at the door step to explore aswell

Nothing to dislike.

I loved everything about Doonbank Cottage Bothy. Felt so much like a comfortable home & had everything to hand. We were greeted by Chris on arrival, who was very friendly & helpful. The freshly baked scones with butter & jam went down a treat with a big mug of tea. Perfect start to the holiday. Tried my first fresh duck egg the next morning, which was absolutely delicious. Enjoyed a couple of lovely walks down by the river side, such a beautiful place. The beach, which is also a lovely place, is nearby. I really hope to return to Doonbank Cottage Bothy sometime soon. It's a fantastic place.

Nothing ! I can't find anything to dislike .

Hosts comunicated very well before my arrival. They very kindly offered me an earlier check-in . The information pack left in the property was very helpful & they very kindly left some free-range eggs from their chicken's. The house was very clean,warm, and comfortable.The bedding was superb quality. The quiet location and very large garden leading to woodland and a river was perfect. I highly recommend this property.

Minor negative but would be better with improved outside lighting as current ones dont light up full area

Keys for entry left in lock for you arriving with owner chris touching base and providing info and leaves you to it but lives onsite if help required Eggs and milk provided on arrival which was a lovely touch for those that like them Nestled within 4 acres private forrest with riverside walks on your doorstep plus peace and tranquillity was an added bonus with being within forrest with plenty of wildlife and running river stream nearby Plenty of areas to visit within 15/20mins drive and good Indian Ayr India within 5mins drive which is worth going for a meal

Nothing at all!

The location! Just absolutely magical. Visiting in autumn was just incredible. Having the woods and river literally on your doorstep was amazing. I loved every second here and can’t wait to come back in other seasons. Chris was such a friendly host, his correspondence was always so helpful and efficient. The information actually provided is incredible, covers everything you would need to know and also will make you Laugh! We felt totally at home here and the bedroom and view is another level! I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Patio area shrubery could do with a little tlc, but that is a minor consideration.

Fantastic location overlooking River Doon and nestled within forestry on either side of river. Owners home nearby with ducks, geese, and bee hives. Also loved the Emma mattress and feather pillows. Had great sleeps. It is lovely to lie in bed with the patio door, overlooking the juliette balcony, open to hear the river. Also made use of the fire pit o. Our se ond evening. Co op nearby sells logs. Owner kindly supplied firelight and matches. We would definitely stay again.

The property is in a beautiful location, with a rural feel, the woods and the river literally on your doorstep.

Absolutely nothing everything was perfect.

We had a lovely relaxing stay here, the host was welcoming and friendly. The location was the perfect balance… secluded, quiet with a stunning view from the bedroom window and within a short walk to local amenities. Beautiful location and surroundings, the bothy was very clean with all the necessary essentials.
