Guests say
Guests generally appreciate the cottage's comfort, well-equipped nature, and proximity to Kirkcudbright town centre. The garden is a highlight, offering a private space to enjoy the sunshine. The property's character and homely feel are well-received, with thoughtful touches like a welcome pack adding to the experience. Some guests mention issues with shower height and parking, but these are minor compared to the overall positive feedback.
The cottage is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, with only one review mentioning it being 'particularly dirty'. However, this seems to be an isolated incident, as the owner addressed the concern promptly, reflecting a high standard of cleanliness overall.
The location is highly praised for being close to the town centre, with easy access to shops, galleries, and local amenities. The historical town setting and proximity to beaches and forests add to the appeal, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.
Comfort is a strong point for this property, with numerous reviews mentioning comfortable beds and a cosy lounge. The spaciousness of the cottage contributes to the comfort level, although a few guests noted the low ceiling in the shower as a slight discomfort for taller individuals.
The cottage is well-equipped, with guests appreciating the provision of kitchen equipment, games, and books. Some minor criticisms include the need for better shower facilities and the replacement of frying pans. The presence of a woodburner and a private garden are positives, although there are mentions of non-functioning fires and overgrown garden areas.
Guests frequently mention the thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, such as a welcome pack with wine, chocolates, and biscuits. While these gifts are warmly received, it is important to note that such extras, while indicative of the hosts' hospitality, may not be guaranteed for every stay.

Catherine
Very clean and tidy. Oven not quite as clean inside as mine at home. Kitchen contained everything we needed, thank you. Bathroom very clean despite rather elderly grouting in some places. Good range of books and games. Very comfortable beds and super-clean bedding, thank you, that's so important. Information about appliances very clear, thank you. Everything worked well. Nice garden if a bit overgrown - unfortunately it was too wet for us to sit out! Kirkcudbright information very comprehensive, ditto the walks etc - we did a couple of them, thank you. We were grateful for the tea, coffee, sugar etc that was there when we arrived - and the wine was a lovely touch.

The house was especially well equipped and had two places to sit and eat outside to catch the sun lunchtime and in the evening. We appreciated the wine, milk and biscuits.

Three large bedrooms, with comfy beds and plenty of towels, loo roll, kitchen equipment etc. The hosts were friendly and welcoming (they popped round to take the bin out in case we were too frail!) and had very kindly supplied things like tomato ketchup, tea and coffee as well a basic cooking materials. The only minor negatives were that the rooms were quite light so we tended to wake up quite early (maybe not a bad thing?) and the shower would be a bit cramped if you were 6 foot tall. The garden is well maintained and is a bit of a sun trap. Overall we were very happy with the property. It's very convenient for shops, art galleries, museums and walks and of course Kirkcudbright is an excellent base for exploring Dumfries and Galloway. Red Kite feeding and Wigtown bookshops are especially recommended!
