“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.

- Mrs Jones, September 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.

- Mr Lumsden, August 2019
“Very comfortable cottage in a central location”

- Mr Griffiths, July 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
“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

- Mr Cox, May 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.

- Prof Sarkar, April 2019
“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 Griffiths, March 2019
“It was as described loved the little touches flowers on the table biscuits and milk in the fridge.”

Games for end of the day and dvds. The bed was amazingly comfortable the cottage was clean. It was a very nice place to stay.

- Mr New, October 2018
“Great to stay at the Nathaniel's Cottage in Kirkcudbright.”

Very close to shops and the harbor.

- Mr Bisang, 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 Bowen, July 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
“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
“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

- Mrs Gawthorpe, June 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!

- Mr Hardisty, April 2018
“What a brilliant Cottage with everything one could ask for and with lots of little things that make you welcome .”

...Flowers ,Tea things welcoming card all little things but well thought out and would definately go back to this cottage and pass all on to others......

- Mr Baldwin, March 2018
“This cottage is perfect.”

We had a wonderful week there. A real home from home.

- Ms Windle, January 2018

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), the Stewartry Museum, McLellan's Castle, and the newly reburbished 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 art 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 Britain's loveliest unspoilt scenery. The Tourist Information Office in the Harbour Square can provide information about all these activities and events. .
