A gloriously quirky place set out over four levels with wonderful views out over Kirkcudbright and the surrounding area. The Cider Tower is very well equipped, very comfortable and an excellent base for discovering the local area. Strongly recommended.

We had a wonderful time in this very unique location. The cottage is well-equipped and it is so cozy! The area is full of interesting places to visit like Threave Castle or Dundrennan Abbey.

Cider Tower was a lovely place to stay. It's in a fantastic location which is peaceful and with great access to some lovely walks. It's well equipped with everything you (or your dog) needs. The 4 poster bed was mega comfortable and the property is decorated to a very high standard. I'd thoroughly recommend it as somewhere unique and quirky to stay.
