Below is a non exhaustive list of who will enjoy Waterside and the surrounding areas:
Hunters - Although we don't permit hunting on the grounds a number of syndicates operate in the area within a short distance and often base themselves from Waterside.

Great location
Great spot for exploring Galloway. Hot tub overlooking the forest, and walks starting straight from the cabin. Wildlife all around. Note that it is attached to another cabin & a farm, so it's not isolated - but we did feel like we had privacy. Otherwise a washing machine could be a good addition. Dave & Becky were very helpful, we'd definitely come back!

Property was very clean, hosts very attentive if we needed them for anything. Lovely secluded area would recommend getting food and drinks before going as it’s a 30 minute drive to get a shop

Relaxing Experience
Had a great time over the week we stayed. Dave, Rebecca and the family were so friendly and helpful. It was lovely to have someone so efficient and quick in replying to my emails. Very refreshing! The property was clean and tidy and met our needs and the dogs had a whale of a time in the long grass in the field down to the river.
