Guests say
Garden Cottage is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its cleanliness, peaceful location, and comfortable interiors. Guests appreciate the cottage's homely feel and the surrounding beautiful countryside. While some minor issues were raised, the overall sentiment is positive, with many looking forward to returning.
Cleanliness
The majority of guests found the cottage to be spotlessly clean and well maintained, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, a few guests mentioned issues with cleanliness such as dirty cups and a stained pillowcase, which slightly impacts the overall high standard noted.
Location
Guests enjoyed the peaceful farm location and its proximity to Castle Douglas, though some found it a bit isolated and difficult to find. The beautiful countryside was a highlight, but concerns about the dark farm track and the proximity to a commercial business were noted.
Comfort
Most reviews highlight the cottage's comfort, with special mentions of cosy beds and a homely atmosphere. A few guests, however, had concerns about the size of the bed and the inability to regulate heating, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
Facilities
The cottage is generally seen as well-equipped and maintained, with a few guests experiencing issues with water pressure, heating, and a wobbly toilet seat. The quick response to a window issue shows attentiveness to maintenance.
