The historic and picturesque town of Kirkcudbright sits on the banks of the tidal waters of the River Dee, on the north Solway shore. Established as a Royal burgh in 1455, giving it status to trade with ports outside Scotland, Kirkcudbright has always been supported by a busy fishing trade. Behind this working harbour, its wide streets and pastel coloured houses, a mix of Georgian villas and Victorian town houses, make for a very attractive town centre, complete with ruined McLellan's Castle. Also worth a visit is the very interesting Stewartry Museum, housing a collection of assorted items representing the life and times on the Solway coast. Kirkcudbright is also known as the artists' town, established by Edward Hornel in the late nineteenth century and still the case today, with a fine collection of art galleries, crafts, cafés and antique shops. The area offers a quiet and relaxing atmosphere with attractive coastal landscapes and plenty to offer the whole family.

Previous visitors' comments about West Wing, Knockbrex House:
My partner and I have been to the area for several years now and have stayed in various properties but this one takes first prize. The location is great just what we wanted, quiet, seaviews, walking and biking all from the front door.
As for the house, we are hoping to stay there again as soon as possible.

The area is an excellent base to get around. Overlooking the sea, a lovely view every morning. The size of property and overall decor and cleanliness, very homely.
