We wanted a quiet, peaceful week and that’s exactly what we got. The cottage was warm, clean and comfortable and watching the wildlife in the garden was brilliant. We were visited by deer, hare and a variety of birds at the feeders. Evelyn was a super hostess and will always respond quickly should any thing need attending to. The only slight improvement would be a small heater for the conservatory as it cools down quite quickly. There were excellent walks from the cottage as well as around Kirkcudbright generally. A lovely part of the world and somewhere we intend returning to. Would definitely recommend this property.
