  Wow , what a beautiful bungalow, bright airy and in a wonderful location, with lovely outdoor space .

  Bed was very comfortable and good quality linen. Only downside on arrival no housekeeping has been done , no beds changed and dirty towels left in shower , a quick message and phone call to Richard and hour later 3 lovely ladies arrived to clean , on leaving one of the ladies said she would drop off some vouchers for the inconvenience needless to say they never arrived, poor customer service. Reading a review from May someone said the shower in both bathrooms were leaking , I had hoped this would have been sorted....it hadn't every time the shower was used the floor was like a swimming pool, such a shame as the flooring is gorgeous.Lovely pub in the village and the beach there is fabulous our springer spaniel loved it such a shame weather wasn't on our side . Please remember this lovely property is surrounded by fields with cows and sheep in them when it's sunny and doors are open you need fly spray and lots of it as you are bombarded with them . The hot tub was great to use only problem again was the wet weather and I think a couple of the jets have stopped working.

  We went to Screel View for a bit of recuperation, after a very trying few months, and we absolutely achieved that aim. Relaxation, with a gentle hike down to Kippford for a cup of tea, was what we got, in the most beautifully furnished lodge! The photos of the cabin/lodge, and the area, really don't do it justice. When looking at the photos, you can't hear the silence, or smell the fresh air, or feel the soft carpet in the living room :-) The quality of the furniture and all the fittings is excellent, and every little detail has been considered to make a short stay perfect. The kitchen's beautifully equipped, and the hob and oven are a joy to use (not often I can say that about a holiday let!!). The beds....the mattresses are incredibly comfortable, not too hard or too soft, and the bed linen and pillows are top notch. I could go on and on ....probably best you just check it out for yourselves ;-)

  Very pleasant cottage in a lovely village, fantastic views of Solway Firth and a few meters from the village pub. The accommodation is very comfortable and the hosts are welcoming and helpful and we are certainly intending to return in the near future. The location offers excellent shoreline walking and is close to a number of towns for exploring museums, local interest and eateries. There are several nature reserves close by which are interesting for their variety of landscapes, wildlife and scenery and some provide refreshment facilities which are very welcome on a chill day. The location is not too busy regarding traffic and one frequently encounters the brown roadside signs indicating places of interest which are always worth investigating. We loved the variety of agricultural landscapes, hill views, coastlines and woodlands and are very pleased to have stayed at Little Egret.

  We had a lovely restful stay at Cherry Tree Cottage and were very happy with the accommodation.

  The beds were very comfy, the whole house was immaculately clean and welcoming. The kitchen was great - very well equipped, good sized pots and pans and a cafetiere. The directions took us straight to the house despite the leafy windy roads and little turnings that are so easy to miss. A very convenient base for travelling all over the Rhins, but especially for the South Rhins which was where we were concentrating our outings this time. The company of the many dairy cows on the hills around us was extremely soothing, and we enjoyed seeing them all come and go from the milking parlour every day. The wonderful 360 degree views from the house were a real bonus, and made our mornings and evenings a time to just watch the sky. We were very lucky with the weather, and used the patio every day. Altogether a great stay and would certainly go back if we return to this area

  We had such a wonderful time.

  The location of our cottage was perfect. It provided a combination of peace and tranquillity alongside easy access to beautiful scenery. The locals we met, whilst dog walking, were friendly and engaging. The cottage itself was well equipped and had everything you could need, with a sunny garden. The bathroom offered a choice of a walk-in shower and a bath which was ideal, and the water pressure was great. The 2 bedrooms were both spacious and well equipped with coat hangers and a hairdryer. There was a roller blind as well as curtains in the bedrooms which gave us the option of darkening the rooms for a good nights sleep. The main bedroom could have easily accommodated a king size or even a super king sized bed, which would have been an added bonus, as we found the double bed was small and too firm (just our personal preference). All in all a great place to stay.
