We had a family get together in this lovely home

Pros: The house was comfortable and spacious, a very well equipped kitchen with more than enough crockery, cutlery etc

Cons: A welcome booklet to explain how to use the central heating control. The house was lovely and warm but we couldn’t find a timer

Pros: All amenities as described, central location. Enough bedrooms to sleep all family members. Quick response ad help from owners if any questions.

Cons: Some areas in need of a bit of TLC - kitchen and bathrooms in particular. Not a big lounge sitting area for size of property/party. Difficult to work heating and TV's - manuals would have been better and saved sending questions to host.

Quiet town lovely stay.

Pros: This house was lovely living room to the left as you walk in and dinning and kitchen to the right. Straight in is garden area down stair toilet and shower and spiral stair going up it’s a toilet bath and over bath shower. Keep going up the stairs is 5 bedrooms, 4 double and one single go up the stairs again is double with sofa bed and a single room and the games room. Everything was great he had a lovely family get away. I couldn’t get the internet to work and the owner was down with in 5mins and fixed it for us.

Cons: There no down stairs room all room have stairs to get to them. My own fault for not checking. Some of the beds are nosy

Great place to stay with a big family - caters well for children

Pros: Every one of us had a room that suited our needs and the house catered so well for children. We had children ranging from ages 1 to 13 and the house was safe and fun for all of them. The games room is such a great addition to the property. There were 14 of us in total (9 adults and 5 children) and there was ample seating and plenty of towels etc for us all. From the outside you'd never guess how big the property was inside. The hosts were very communicative and easy to get a hold of. Even when there was a mix up with dates they were extremely co-operative and even gave us alternative options at a reduced rate which was very kind but not necessary. Thank you.

Cons: The bathroom doors were a little sticky so we had a few occasions where we got stuck but there is a knack to opening them, which we soon learned, but we had to be careful when the kids were using it.

Good experience and would recommend it to friends.

Pros: Location was good and the host was great didn't have any problems except for one half of the cooker not working however the air fryer and the rest of the house made up for it.

Cons: Could have done with a hot tub. Otherwise it was ideal for the family.

We enjoyed our stay. Great situation. Good price.

Pros: the fig and olive cafe across the road was excellent. Henry's for an evening meal. Gillespie bakers across from house great tattie scones. wild swimming in Lady Bay, Castle Kennedy gardens.

Cons: Need more seats in lounge, more glasses, hanging space in bedrooms.

Brilliant location

Pros: Very spacious, had everything we needed for our stay

Pros: The bedrooms were all done to an excellent standard, the one I had was extremely comfortable. The kids particularly enjoyed the games room, The location was excellent within 3 minutes you were by the sea; which was fantastic for an evening stroll with dogs.

Cons: I was there with an elderly person with some mobility issues. Therefore, just a small suggestion of putting another rail on the stairs so that there was extra support on the wider part of the spiral stairs. The bathroom down on the ground floor I would say was the only accessible bathroom for a shower. Did not affect the stay but a consideration of going with someone that has mobility issues.

Pros: Lovely house. Beds very comfortable and lots of space to enjoy family birthday

Pros: The house was beautiful and everything we needed was there. Originally from Stranraer so the visit was for my 60th birthday so was special.
