About this property
Set in the sweeping hills of Dumfries and Galloway is Corriedow, a former shepherd’s cottage which has recently been converted into a contemporary yet cosy holiday home. With 360° views of beautiful Scottish glens, this rural spot is the perfect place to spend time with family and friends.
Imagine waking up to breath-taking views of the Scottish landscape ready for a day of exploring the surrounding glens before returning in the evenings to get cosy around the wood burning stove or watch the sun set from the terrace with a glass of wine in hand.
Corriedow is set in a secluded rural spot in the sweeping hills of Dumfries and Galloway. The 360° views over three glens, The Shinnel, Scaur and Dalwhat and the dramatic Tynron Doon (an Iron Age hill fort) make it a magical holiday destination. The cottage was once used as shepherd’s accommodation but after a recent renovation has been transformed into a contemporary yet cosy holiday home. The spacious open plan layout of Corriedow means it is perfectly suited for families or small groups of friends.
The cottage is situated in the Nithsdale area of Dumfries & Galloway where the star attraction is its picturesque countryside with numerous walks to be taken across the rolling hills of the Southern Uplands or by the river in the Nith Valley. The small village of Tynron is only 3 miles away from Corriedow, while a greater number of local amenities can be found at the nearby village of Moniaive (approximately 4 miles distance) and the small town of Thornhill (approximately 8 miles distance). Moniaive has two hotels, grocers/post office, café/bistro and an amazing Italian restaurant. Thornhill includes two hotels, a bakery, two supermarkets, butcher’s shop, coffee shops, a florist and independent boutiques.

We had a wonderful time at Corriedow this Christmas. The house is beautifully presented, warm, brilliantly kitted out and full of lovely touches that make it extra special. The beds are fabulous and everything you can think of has been provided. The house is set in the most stunning countryside and is owned by a wonderful family who really do know how to make you feel like special guests. The hamper Lynne provided literally made all of us smile and shriek with delight and we literally can't think of anything that would make the place feel even more special than it is. If you want luxurious surroundings, peace and quiet in gorgeous surroundings, then Corriedow is for you.

I would highly recommend Corriedow. We spent New Year there and had an excellent time. The house is beautifully decorated, in great condition and well-equipped. We were provided with a lovely hamper full of lovely treats from M&S, including a bottle of whisky and white and red wine. The setting is beautiful, and the floor to ceiling window in the kitchen has a great view.The owners were also very helpful. The road up to the house was icy and they text us to warn us and gave us and our friends a lift up the hill in their 4x4 when it became clear our cars wouldn’t make it up. They also posted some items that we left at the house.Overall we had a great stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

What a hidden gem in the Scottish countryside. We couldn't have asked for more. The cottage was absolutely stunning and matched the breathtaking scenery. The cottage has been decorated to such a high specification and was has been so well looked after, it was as if we were the first people to have ever stayed there. It has everything you could possibly need and more when it comes to facilities and services. It's close enough to nearby villages that you have small food stores etc if you need them but far away enough to think that you are in the middle of nowhere. No light pollution , no noise pollution just peaceful and relaxing. Lynne, the owner, could not have made us more welcome. Such a lovely lady! She was on hand for any questions, recommendations for eating out etc. I would definitely recommend to any one who is heading into Scotland.
