Customer Rating/Reviews

The garden was a joy! The conservatory/ sun room was used every day to watch the birds feeding. Dumfries and Galloway is a lovely area and the cottage was lovely. I'd like to book it again. Author: Mrs Myers, Liverpool, Merseyside - Date of Stay: 06/2011

West Winds was a cosy cottage, with an abundance of wildlife in the garden and the area. The garden is large enough for any dog to roam. The owners had thought of nearly everything. The fire made you feel very cosy, the conservatory was large and a sun trap, which was pleasant to sit in. We would not hesitate in returning. Thank You!

The property is in a fantastic location and has everything you could wish for in terms of comfort and styling. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the kids and more importantly the dog enjoyed the freedom the back door offered. Author: Mr Hedley, Kilwinning, North Ayrshire - Date of Stay: 02/2011
