“Perfect! Cosy & Clean”

Great location - quiet, a very short stroll to the golf course, but also a short stroll to shops and the hotels/restaurants and cafes in the town. The cottage was larger than the photos look but still cosy and very clean. Wood burner a brilliant bonus. Would definitely stay again.

“Great location in the lovely town of Kirkcudbright.”

Both bedrooms and the bathroom appear recently redone and were very comfortable. We were disappointed, however, in the condition of the kitchen. We found a stack of greasy pans inside the oven upon arrival as well as a dirty window ledge, a rusty wok pan, and food residue in the microwave. These did not give us confidence that the advertised deep cleaning (due to COVID) had taken place. We contacted the owner who responded quickly with an apology and a promise to remedy the situation. Jo explained that she had been unable to visit the cottage in the last several months due to COVID travel restrictions and has been relying on her housecleaner to keep things up. I hope she can get the cleaning sorted soon as it was otherwise a delightful place to stay.

“Lovely cottage in a great location.”

Very close to all amenities of Kirkcudbright, but tucked away in a quiet side street, so nice and peaceful.

“This was our second visit to Nathaniel's Cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.”

The key pick up was straightforward. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Although sited in the centre of Kirkcudbright, it was quiet too. We had some lovely meals out including at the Selkirk Arms and also at The Auld Alliance where the staff went the extra mile for my son's birthday - the meal was outstanding too. Plenty to do round and about. - villages to visit and lots of pleasant walks. Enjoyed a visit to Threave Gardens and Castle Douglas. The King's Arms iin Castle Douglas is worth a visit for a meal. We would stay here again.

“Cottage was not very clean, had an ant problem due to cupboard by cooker being dirty and sauce bottles left there.”

Cutlery drawer was poorly positioned under cooker and drawer beneath that difficult to open.

Mr Lumsden August 2019

“We had to leave a day early because of a national cycling event.”

The street parking was restricted on our last day. Streets around closed. No warning from Sykes at all. Caretaker informed us Wednesday by note. Danger of car being towed away. Cottage fine, area great, won't use Sykes again.

“Very comfortable cottage in a central location”

- Mr Griffiths, July 2019
Mrs Fielding June 2019

“Excellent position, close to everything in town and with Tesco's just yards away.”

We didn't think the side garden was useable at all as it's quite steep, maybe it could be terraced, to give some flat areas but as we were only two people the little patio was adequate.

- Mrs Fielding, June 2019
Mr Cox May 2019

“Good cottage in excellent location shame about the low sofas but otherwise we'll kitted out with all you need.”

We found the outside space perfectly adequate

Prof Sarkar April 2019

“The location pf the cottage was below our expectation, with having noviews on the back- being blocked by a high retaining wall and also the front view was of a road junction.”

We had stayed in much better cottages here with gardens and open views at much lower prices! Also there was no garden as such, only a cramped courtyard with unusable garden furniture- these need painting and renovation. Inside the cottage was clean and satisfactory, but the price was rather high for the standard. We will not re-visit this cottage.

“First cottage holiday ever, usually stayed in caravans, so it was far easier not having to take the bedding , towels etc.”

By the way loved the log fire, really homely and thanks once again to Grace the cleaning lady she was great . Thank You.

Mr New October 2018

“It was as described loved the little touches flowers on the table biscuits and milk in the fridge.”

Mr Bowen July 2018

“This holiday cottage was great and I would book it again.”

Beds were superb. Future guest please note mobile reception and wifi speed were very good. Lots and lots of extras included in good working order. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feed back for Sykes - -Hi i do not understand why you fail to promote the wifi speed and mobile phone reception for your cottages. The wi fi in this cottage was exceptional and if such information was available on your site , would have been the key reason to book.

Mr Bisang July 2018

“Great to stay at the Nathaniel's Cottage in Kirkcudbright.”

Very close to shops and the harbor.

- Mr Bisang, July 2018
Mrs Wilson June 2018

“The house was very nice and close to town.”

The only thing we suggested which could be improved was the thick winter duvet on the bed might have been better changed to a summer duvet !! We noted it in the book they provided. Every thing else was super.

- Mrs Wilson, June 2018
Mrs Cook June 2018

“We were dissapointed in the on street parking, it should have been clearer in your description, that thge road was very narrow.”

one day we could not drive down as one of the neighbors had parked into the road, it was a bit worrying leaving our brand new car at night.

- Mrs Cook, June 2018
Mrs Gawthorpe June 2018

“Lovely cottage, which is home from home from the minute you walk through the front door.”

From Goodies in the fridge, the bacon n sausage were delicious, thankyou, to helpful hints in various places around the cottage. The flower filled courtyard at the side of the cottage is a little suntrap. The beds are extremely comfortable and the bathroom and it’s under floor heating, a treat to use. The thoughtful gesture of the gift voucher for Castle Street Bistro, was used and much appreciated. Will be returning

Mr Hardisty April 2018

“We had a lovely few days in Kirkcudbright and the weather matched the forecast.”

A lovely cottage close to the centre of the town with a supermarket within a three minute walk. The cottage had all the facilities we required and was in a quiet area. The surrounding area was superb. We particularly enjoyed the red kite feeding experience and the lovely views and coast line. A very enjoyable time!

About the location

KIRKCUDBRIGHT

Dumfries 25 miles.

The historic and picturesque town of Kirkcudbright sits on the banks of the River Dee on the north Solway coast. Established as a Royal Burgh in 1455 this small port town has always been supported by a busy fishing trade and is home to a blue flag marina. Behind this working harbour, its wide streets and pastel-coloured houses, a mix of Georgian and Victorian town houses make for a very attractive town centre. Particular places of interest are the Tolbooth Museum, Broughton House and Gardens (National Trust for Scotland), the Stewartry Museum, MacLellan's Castle, and the newly refurbished town Art Gallery. Kirkcudbright is also known as the 'Artists' Town'. From the 1870s onwards the town has both produced and attracted a wide range of talented artists and crafts people, and there is a fine collection of art galleries and arts and crafts shops. If you want your holiday to include some breaks from cooking you will find plenty of cafes and restaurants to choose from, including the historic Selkirk Arms Hotel, and, near the harbour, Polar Bites, a very good fish restaurant as well as being a takeaway. Throughout the summer the town organises a wide range of activities including the four day Arts and Crafts Trail, four-day Jazz Festival, a weekly Scottish night with pipe band and dancing (especially for children), weekly town tours, farmers markets, a vintage car rally... the list is endless. Visitors can also use the town's swimming pool, bowling club, golf club and tennis courts. Further afield there is the Galloway Activity Centre on beautiful Loch Ken, which offers a range of water sports, and the Laggan Outdoor Activity Centre which includes a zipwire - suitable for all ages! Perhaps best of all are the opportunities for walking, cycling, fishing, or just driving along the coasts and in the hills and valleys in some of Scotland's loveliest unspoilt scenery.
