"Story Cottage as soon as you go in through the door it’s immediately stunning, you just felt you were at home straight away and with the personal touch by our host Julie with the welcome pack it was a wow."
Downstairs is very well laid out and upstairs with the spacious bedroom along with the bathroom / shower room it’s all you’ll ever need for your stay, would definitely recommend a stay at Story Cottage.

"A very comfortable and pleasing house - clean, light and airy, very well appointed, and a wonderful collection of “extras”, including a box of lateral flow Covid tests (how thoughtful, should anyone be caught out away from home."
Fortunately, we didn’t need them). Our only personal trouble was getting our ancient bones up from the sofa. Julie was always just a friendly text away, and it was good to know that she was nearby, if needed. Thank you for our stay, and our introduction to Wigtown. Jane Stevenson

The house is immaculate and the kitchen is very well equipped. It's always a relief to find proper sharp knives! A nice Welcome pack was provided.

"This is a beautifully done up and tasteful cottage to stay in, right in the centre of Wigtown ."
Immaculately presented. A generous welcome pack from Julie and George. A large and comfortable bedroom and other facilities
well provided for within the cottage. Having immediate access to a modest
garden to eat 'al fresco', particularly in light of recent fine weather. Access to bicycles in the shed. A lovely cottage for a couple to stay and quiet. It allows you to go east or west in equal measure to see what Dumfries & Galloway offers to enjoy.
A 10 out of 10 property.

"Fantastic stay in a great little cottage."
This was a very late booking but communication from Julie was almost instant and was very clear. Julie very kindly put together a welcome pack for my arrival which was greatly appreciated. The cottage is very well suited to one or two people…very well equipped, warm on a cold winter’s night, and spacious. Parking on the street was straightforward and the cottage is very peaceful. Good Wi-Fi and lots of other little technological extras! Didn’t use the garden but it is large and well looked after. All-in-all, I would highly recommend this cottage!
