What guests are saying
The property is well situated and equipped.
Although next to the bars of the hotel (Kings Arms not Imperial) there was very little noise. There is no designated parking but we could usually find a space on the road within a few yards. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Although the facilities are not new, they are clean and quite serviceable. Beds were a bit softer than we were used to but very comfortable and the furniture also was reasonably comfortable.The shower is good. We would suggest a couple of improvements to the flat to make it really special. The lighting was not really, adequate, brighter bulbs would be a good improvement; some were changed on request. Most rooms, including the kitchen, had smallish windows or none and lights in the centre of the ceiling meaning that you were always working in your own shadow; the light and fan over the hob were not working, this would have made a big difference. Under cupboard lights are definitely needed there. The kitchen and bathroom have no windows so no natural light although there is a small rooflight in the bathroom. If you have even a slight visual impairment we would advise taking supplementary lighting, we regretted not taking any. The electric sockets never seemed to be in quite the right place, we would take an extension lead or two. TV reception was a bit patchy and tuned to an English channel, probably because of the hilly terrain. Overall perfectly acceptable, we would return (with lights and extension leads) although the town seems to have declined noticeably in the last decade or two.
Central for going out for day trips.
We visited the Kirkcudbright tattoo and fringe weekend. Fantastic
The accomodation is absoloutly spot on.
Right next to local high street and shops. This was a return visit. Hosts are very freindly and helpful. Its perfect for what we need when visiting relatives. Only downside was the beds are uncomfortable. Also we enjoyed the upgraded smart tv. Thankyou we will hopefully be returning next year.
