“As before, everything from the Sykes end went very smoothly.”

I rang the owner's number listed to sort out the keys but my call was declined - I followed up with a text which did result in an email promising details which were then sent the next day. We got there in the end! We could have emailed directly if that had been the instruction. We were also asked by the owners to provide information about the booking which we had already given to Sykes as part of the booking process. Surely they must have had that already? ...

Anyway the cottage is lovely - comfortable, well-equipped and spotless. I would hesitate to book it again if the weather were cooler because the huge windows make the living room cold. The heating is effective but it is not possible to alter the time settings. If the open fire in the living room was in a usable state, this wouldn't be an issue.

“We had a wonderful family holiday in The Townhouse.”

The Townhouse was a great base for us while exploring Kirkcudbright and the surrounding area. It had all that we needed for our stay. I would highly reccomend both The Townhouse and Sykes to anyone looking to holiday in Scotland.

“We stayed at Townhouse for 3 nights over Mother's Day weekend and a great time was had by all, with no faults whatsoever with our choice of accommodation The house was like home from home with all the provisions that were needed.”

It was so very clean, warm and very comfortable. We would love to go back and have the same Weekend over again. Whilst at Townhouse we sampled an evening meal at the local Selkirk Arms which we recommend, and also afternoon tea as a Mother’s Day treat at the Cally Palace In nearby Gatehouse of Fleet. Castle Douglas is also nearby and is worth a trip for lovely independent shops. Kirkcudbright itself has lovely shops, walks and scenery. We highly recommend a trip to Townhouse.

“Christmas/New Year Stay”

This house is right in the centre of Kirkcudbright so within easy reach of all the amenities, local pubs/ restaurants, cafe's , shops harbour and galleries. There are plenty of local walks to take right from the centre of kirkcudbright or you can have a short drive and have lochside walks of further afield in the dumfries and galloway national park. A visit to the red kite feeding centre is also a good attraction feeding happens a 2pm most days. The property is in a good state of repair, the kitchen size is good for preparing large catering like over christmas or having a family dinner and plenty of space for breakfasts. It is a very comfortable property to stay in and is of a comfortable standard, I wouldn't put it in the top range as there are certain points that let it down the fire place in the front room has a fire place but no fire (just candles in it) so don't expect to be sitting round an open fire in the evenings, the heating was set to quite low temperatures for winter so boosting was essential, good standard but no frills. I would recommend staying here as a base for the town and the area as it is excellent standard but basic.

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. .

Note: Property suitable for a maximum of 7 people (plus one infant or child under 12).
