“Although the cottage was lovely and the area great we did have a few niggles ...”

Although the cottage was lovely and the area great we did have a few niggles with the cottage there was never enough hot water for a decent bath could only put in apprx 3" deep till the hot water ran out the kitchen window was very badly fitted and let in a very cold draught throughout the cottage this was also not helped by the badly fitting doors we had to put towels down to use as draught excluders the rubber in the washing machine was disgusting and was full of mould no dvd player as advertised we wanted a nice quite break to watch dvds read etc but could not unfortunately we had to go home early the woodburner was easy to use and gave out a lot of heat some coal was available but thought one log for it was a bit tight The owner asked for details of the issues but never got back to us regarding these We do not really want to put the cottage down as was lovely and if the niggles were put right would be even better

“Comfortable cittage”

We found the cottage to be clean and comfortable, new lounge furniture and comfortable double mattress, soft fluffy towels. The heating was off when we arrived at 3pm and the cottage stone cold so we went to the supermarket, and returned to find everything thankfully warming up. The heating switched off at 0800 the next day - it was snowing - so we phoned the owner since the timer switch wasn’t located anywhere obvious or alluded to in the instructions. She was very friendly and concerned, put the cleaner in touch with us to help with the heating and suggested we have the heating on 24/7 for the duration of our short break. The shower had jets as well as a shower head, which was fun - but the water cooled fairly quickly. Filling the bath sufficiently to cover the jets in the bath tub took three attempts because you had to give the system ten minutes every now and again to reheat. At £85/night mid March, which presumably is off peak, we thought Camphill was expensive, but we did like the cottage and the area.

“Loved it!”

We booked this last November but had to move due to broken boiler so we tried again. So glad we did. Lovely, cosy cottage, so quiet and peaceful. (The occasional car or tractor may go past). Has everything you need - fridge, freezer, even a dishwasher. Bedding and towels supplied. The garden is enclosed so safe for the dogs. Kirkcudbright and Castle Douglas near by for shopping. Great walks at Barhill Woods, Laurieston and Loch Ken for the red kite. Love this part of Scotland and will be back. P.s no sign of the “wee beasties”

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, MacLellan'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 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.
