The property was ideally located and a great base to tour Galloway from. It was located in the heart of Millburn Street area of Kirkcudbright, v.close to the Mill Burn woods & walk. I’ve got border terriers so it was really easy to get them out for short walks as the property didn’t have a yard/garden.

We understood that the cottage facilities were basic but it was well located. However, it would have been good to have had more updated facilities, for those to be good quality & in good order. Unfortunately, one day we had a toilet leak from an old toilet that poured through the ceiling into the kitchen/lounge. It meant mopping up unsanitary water from the lounge/kitchen downstairs and then contacting the host to get the plumber out. My sister and I lost precious time of our one week holiday as we had to clean-up and wait in a dank room for the entire afternoon for the plumber in order to know if the leak could be fixed; otherwise we could have had to leave early for home. Luckily, it was fixed same day by the understanding, expert plumber. Tho because the bathroom floor was so uneven, the toilet then had to be levelled the next day to stop wobbling.

Good location close to town.

Needs a good clean

A complete 2-storey cottage with everything you needed, in a quiet side alley in a good residential area. Well-appointed rooms (open-plan lower floor lounge and kitchen, large bedroom with ensuite above), all necessary things easily available. And even two (!) tellies - one downstairs, one for the bedroom.

Place could have been a bit cleaner, especially the cutlery and crockery - one pot had a thick incrustation of Bisto Best. People across the street got a bit shirty because I put my car in the wrong place, but these are minor complaints.

The house was easy to find, comfortable and close to all amenities. There was plenty of parking close by and the house itself was perfect for 2 people.

The plumbing was a bit noisy.

near to all aminities and lovely walks on the back door

the boiler being next to bed makes a lot of noise during the night

A very pretty and comfortable cottage in a beautiful town and area. There was nothing lacking in the cottage.

The directions were disastrous. Burnside Place is not on Google Maps and there is no road sign for it. Even the staff in the hairdresser next door did not know where it was! The directions take you to Millburn St, which is a very long road, and they need to tell you how to find Burnside Place off the street. It was 50 minutes after arriving in Millburn St before we found the cottage.

Location is great and was much cheaper then other properties of a similar tenure.

The place was quite dirty, like an old house that hadn’t been cleaned very well. Also no wifi in the property. The upstairs bedroom is not suitable for anything other than if you bring your own kids as it’s accessed through the bathroom. If you had other guests up there the door is open right into the bathroom.
