Exceeded expectations - wasn’t expecting such a tranquil location when we negotiated the nice housing estate to get there. Comfortable well equipped property. Relaxing short stay. Nice walk beside the river.

Location was lovely and cottage has huge potential.

Could have been cleaner. Dust in corners, spiders webs here and there and used dog poops bags left in garden from previous users.

Lovely quiet location, short walk along banks of River Doon to Robbie Burns birthplace etc.

All good

Superb location, and it had everything we could have needed for our stay. The hosts were really lovely and have made their home and gardens in to a lovely place to be

Everything, the Bothy has everything you need and is beautiful.

There was nothing we didn't like.

Had everything you need and the host is a lovely friendly guy, we will be back again.

Secluded, modern amenities, very comfortable bed and pillows

Amazing Location

We absolutely loved our 2 night stay and can't wait to return again in summer! The wee house was amazing with plenty of space while being cosy and warm. The views are amazing and we enjoyed lots of walks down to the river and exploring the forest. We found a gorgeous viewing spot with a bench just next to the water. The garden is great with plenty seating and space to play with our dog. Easy access to the river from doorstep. Chris was a brilliant host who provides a dog sitting service which came in handy when we went out for dinner. It was well equipped with fresh chicken and duck eggs which was a lovely touch. Shower was great, always hot water. There is also a picnic basket, magazines, books and a folder with local recommendations for walks and food places, as well as a folder with info if you bring your dog. 100% stay again!

The property was lovely and cosy. The kitchen area was fully equipped with everything you would need. Bathroom/shower was located downstairs whilst bedroom was upstairs. Bed was very comfortable. Absolutely no complaints 👍

Nothing

Owner / responsible persons stays nearby. Responded immediately to text on contact nbr. Helpful. Friendly. Accommodating. Bothy/cottage has spacious top floor bedroom, compact lounge, kitchen and toilet/shower room downstairs with enclosed garden and parking. Clean, tidy, well-equipped with good instructions. Suggestions for local activities. You will need transport as located in residential Alloway/Doonfoot. Able to book for short stays. We would happily stay at Doonback again.

the location and setting is superb. it’s a hidden gem.

Location tucked away with beautiful views of the Doon.

Absolutely everything was perfect. Would love to stay there again

Couldn't name any faults

the bothy was excellent ideal for our purpose. we were attending a wedding at the brig o’doon house hotel. the cottage is only 3 minutes by car to the hotel and a 15 minute walk. the cottage was spacious and had everything you would need for your short break. will return sometime in the future.

Great location for our dogs to be off the lead and roam free.

on arrival we had a lovely warm welcome which was nice. We were attending a wedding at Brig o Doon hotel and was so glad to have found this amazing bothy near by. it’s only a 10/15 min flat walk to the venue . The location is amazing right by the river Doon. it’s Very peaceful and quiet with the added bonus of ducks and chickens wandering about, very entertaining to watch.

everything was perfect and has everything you could possibly need.

Thanks for scones and jam. Lovely touch

Everything was great ..plenty space,very cosy & clean cottage with great facilties ...great garden area for sitting out with trees,shrubs & the river Doon flowing nearby..was nice to see a bit of wildlife with a few rabbits running around...met Chris our host at the property who was very friendly & chatted about the cottage & surrounding area & to thank him for the home made scones with jam & butter as they were 😋.

Not getting to stay longer

Wonderful welcome from our host with freshly baked scones. Fresh eggs in the basket and milk in the fridge. Really well designed, light and comfortable house. Fantastic location.

No complaint but a couple of cleaning cloths and a dishwashing brush would be good.

Owner went above and beyond for us. Friendly and extremely helpful.

location and scones - they were amazing

dog not having freedom to be off the lead in the garden

Stunning views and lovely place. Once we arrived already regret that we stay only one night. Chris was very helpful and nice, welcomed us with homemade fresh hot scones with homemade jam. We got also eggs from chickens and ducks live there, they have names so I think it is a secret the eggs were soo goood. We really regret that we didn't stay longer... but next time we will.

Our stay was brilliant. Chris couldn’t have been more welcoming and we were greeted by a group of chickens and geese (fresh eggs left for us also)! The bothy is so cosy and larger than expected. Very very comfy bed too! Thank you so much!

Clump of hair left on the cushion decorating the bed but no big deal just put in the bin :)

Friendly hosts, great location if attending a wedding at the brig o doon Hotel as it is just a short walk away.
