Customer Rating/Reviews

Love Scotland and the village was very friendly and was excellent for shopping. House was ideally situated. Author: Mrs Horner, Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire - Date of Stay: 07/2011

The property was superb; very homely with a lot of nice touches. Local amenities were also good. The house reflected Kirkcudbright which is noticeably very clean and that is important. We did not manage to cover all we meant to do which means we will have to return sometime in the future - great. Author: Mr Jones, Sale, Greater Manchester - Date of Stay: 08/2010

An excellent property that we would visit again. Owner was very helpful. Author: Mr Wrench, Stowmarket, Suffolk - Date of Stay: 06/2010
