  Little Egret is a delightful accommodation offering very spacious and comfortable conditions in a delightful location on the Solway coast. It is very well set out and in addition to the pleasant and comfortable furnishings, the front and back gardens offer additional space to enjoy the scenery and fresh air. Ailsa and Alan are very congenial hosts and are helpful and informative regarding any questions that arose. Carsethorn is a delightful village and the local pub provided a good selection of menu offerings. The regular bus service was a useful alternative if one wished to take advantage of it and apart from visiting some of the local towns there are also opportunities for coastal walking and for visiting some of the local places of interest including several nature reserves and the John Paul Jones Museum. Being in an open coastal setting provided much opportunity to admire the wonderful light effects irrespective of the weather. We had some thrilling sunrises and sunsets as well as spectacular cloud effects on dull and rainy days, all viewed through the front window of the property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and certainly intend returning in the near future. Thank you to Ailsa and Alan.

  We loved the apartment: beautiful, elegant, and comfortable, showing its origins as a grand house, and wonderfully spacious. (We had cupboard envy!) It's self-contained, and the boot-room lobby in the entrance downstairs meant we could leave all our muddy and sandy things well out of the way. David had obviously put considerable thought into everything one might need, for everyday living and for recreation. (The family bookshelf offered a snapshot of classics for every age, including a duplicate set of 'Tin-Tin'.) The kitchen was excellent, and well-equipped, though I was glad to have a tall companion, to extract large, heavy, crockery, out of high shelves. Perhaps adding few smaller mugs would be helpful? A large and useful fridge was great for self-catering. All spotless, making me worry a little about spoiling the carpet, under the dining-table; again, perhaps a large rug there might avert risk? Views, gardens, and little balcony were lovely, and the walk to the sea a delight. It was a treat to be able to walk in the whole lower garden, with its old plantings, and visits from wild life. Thank you!

  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.

  Excellent place to stay in a lovely little village with pub/restaurant just along the road. The accommodation was very comfortable, fully equipped, tastefully decorated and very dog friendly. The gardens were excellent for my dogs as they were fully enclosed so safe. We enjoyed sitting in the beachfront garden watching the birds and sea. The back garden was a little suntrap and very peaceful listening to all the little birds. We enjoyed walking along the beach in both directions. There are lots of different beach and woodland walks in the local area which the dogs and I thoroughly enjoyed. The pub/restaurant was an added bonus and would recommend a visit and the food was amazing. Also recommend visiting Aisla's art studio which is next door! Her art work is hung all over the accommodation. I would definitely recommend a stay at the Little Egret and hope to go back soon.

  Simply Suite is a great place to stay in a beautiful area.

  Impeccably clean, extremely comfortable, the superb welcome pack found round every corner. I’d looked up the site of the flat beforehand so the road wasn’t a surprise, and while fairly busy, I live on a much busier road so it wasn’t an issue for me. The bedrooms being at the back they were very quiet. Nor did I hear anything of the neighbours. The kitchen was amazingly well stocked with everything I could possibly need - I was surprised at only finding a very fine grater, until I opened another cupboard and found two more (and that cupboard hiding within it so much more in the way of mixing bowls, measuring jugs, and more). I’ve not mentioned the views over the loch which are a delight, as was the birdsong. It may be by the road, but so much higher you look over the traffic to the trees, the peaceful water, the swans. I’ll be happy to book there again.
