  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.

  Thank you Jannie for the warm welcome and the guide around the apartment.

  The milk and biscuits were appreciated. Super clean,fresh and modern with everything you basically need, even a few days of washing up liquid and loo rolls. Bed and linen very comfortable and clean. A great location for looking over the harbour, with the best sunset ever! Lovely walk upto the tower to look over the rocks and sea ( we even saw a couple of dolpins) very friendly locals in the pub and local cafe both very good lots to visit and see in the surrounding areas. We have an EV and found plenty of chargers in all the villages and towns. ( tesla chargers at the outlet village in gretna are open to all at a good 49p per minute) The only down side which we knew before hand no wifi and which due to a lack of phone signal would help plan days out and keep intouch with family. ( a bit of a signal in the window by the small tv) and on the bench on the harbour wall. The pub and the cafe have WiFi a part from that all perfect! If you are after a very calm relaxing break with little traffic on the area it's the spot for you! Will be going back another time ( we are off to the isle of Harris and lwis next year) 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.

  Having booked a downstairs harbour apartment we could not have had a better view of the harbour.

  Whilst this was great at first, it soon became apparent that every dog walker, hiker and passer by could not resist staring through our living room window. As we have a nervous rescue dog this caused him to bark at every person passing. To prevent this we had to close our roller blinds. In late afternoon the roller blinds were no good in direct sunlight.We would recommend an upstairs apartment to any pet owners. If you have a 50 inch plasma tv you will struggle with the small tv in the living area. Isle of Whithorn is a lovely fishing village with a pub and a post office. If you are looking for a quiet, clean self catering apartment the moorings is the place to stay. However, be careful when exiting the rear car park as drivers pass by at excessive speed for the road conditions. A 10 mph limit needs to be set or else an accident is just waiting to happen .
