  Overall the accommodation was very satisfactory, being comfortable, cosy and well-situated.

  The heating was effective (and necessary due to the cool weather) and the TV and WiFi worked well. Although on the main street, the house is usually very quiet and has a pleasant outlook. The view over the river and woods to the rear is also nice and it was warm enough one day to sit in the peaceful garden. There is some noise from next door and at times it sounded as if someone was going up and down our stairs. The neighbours’ front door is particularly noisy although the occupants aren’t. The kitchen was well-equipped and the hob very efficient. The only item lacking was a pair of scissors. The bathroom is modern and very smart though the shower screen is not extensive enough to prevent splashing on the floor. The toilet seat is not secure and lurches sideways a little in an alarming manner each time one sits down. From comments made in the guestbook, it was evident that this problem has existed for over a year; perhaps it is very difficult to remedy. We didn’t find the double bed as comfortable as our own; it is obviously a matter of personal taste but we would have preferred a wider, firmer mattress. Having said that, we slept OK and didn’t wake with a stiff back. The town and area are lovely and we didn’t feel the need to use the car much as there are some great walks starting in the town. We ate twice at The Masonic Arms and once at The Murray Arms, the former being excellent. Their new conservatory is beautiful and a very pleasant place to dine; the service was friendly and efficient. Despite the above-mentioned reservations we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return.

  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 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

  Very ‘spacious’ little cottage.

  Well equipped and comfortable kitchen/dining room. Great sofas and fresh,decor. Quality bedding and comfy beds, though had to use one of singles as we found double a little small (we are used to a super king size, probably not a problem for a lot of people and we did get used to the smaller size and understand that bed needs to fit the room) We did have a slight problem with the heating, which seemed to switch itself off. Our stay was during the coldest week of the year, we tried not to use it too much, having a holiday let of our own, found it a little bit cold when sitting in the living roo, would a wood burner be a option? Loved the wee, nicely furnished bathroom. Really enjoyed our stay and Daisy cottage. Moffat a great location and great place to stay. Many thanks.

  The Lighthouse keepers cottage is lovely. It is deceivingly spacious and well equipped, with spectacular views to both the front and rear of the building. We did the free tour of the lighthouse and museum, and found staff there to be extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. If you are looking for tranquillity this is the place to go. It is quiet but not totally isolated, with many nice places nearby to visit, such as Port Logan (the port, the fish pond or botanic garden), Port Patrick, Drummore (for lovely fish and chips [and music night] at the Ship Inn, and supermarkets [If you need to stock up] at Stranraer. There are also lovely artisan art and jewellery shops nearby if you are looking for something a bit special to take home.
