What our customers say about their holidays

• William - Verified booking

  It is a very quite location and very good for a relaxing holiday in the country side but still close to the town.

  Ps. The directions to the cottage could be better described as it took some time to find it as it is on a single lane road which could be easily missed. Possibly------ Follow the A713 from Castle Douglas until you pass the Castle Douglas Golf course on the left. You will then see approximately 200 yards/meters further on, a road bridge with national restriction speeds signs on either side on passing under the bridge (A75) there is a paddock and a house on the right. Take the crown of the road as there is a single track road between the house and the industrial type "Scotish Bakery" buildings on the right hand side of the single track road . The single track road goes between the house and industrial buildings. Turn into this lane and continue approx. 200 yards/meters turn left at the T junction carry on and turn right approx. 150 yards/ meters at the cowsheds, continue on passed a house on the right then a house on the left. There is Garden Cottage on the right.

  We really enjoyed our stay in Fish House as it was the perfect property for a restful and relaxing holiday. Spotlessly clean, the house was beautifully furnished and extremely well equipped - the best I have ever stayed in. There were lots of thoughtful little touches, including much appreciated nightlights and even a picnic set! The generous welcome pack was a real treat and made us feel at home from the moment we stepped through the door. The terrace and garden were a real bonus and made it easy to relax and unwind. Kirkcudbright itself is a real gem and we would recommend the art gallery, which boasts a really excellent collection of paintings and ceramics. Rock life and Dhoon beaches are also well worth a visit. I would recommend this property without hesitation.

  Fantastic and extremely well equipped holiday accommodation. The owners have thought of everything. Even down to dog towels, picnic set, bucket and spades for the kids, board games etc! Beautiful, peaceful and secure garden for our dog. Lovely welcome hamper and treats for us and our dog. Space was actually bigger than expected. We had such a relaxing time and enjoyed watching the Owls at night. We don't usually go back to the same accommodation as we like to try something different. However, we will definitely be returning to The Fish House. Thank you for the most wonderful and relaxing stay.

  Not easy to find.

  Shower very small no room to move about. Wash and basin tiny and shelf above it so bump head when bending over it. Bed not very big think itvsmaller than double. Don’t like that you can’t regulate the heating yourself. Had to move living room chair all the time. Room could be better arranged or even reduce size of kitchen to save moving chair. Don’t like that Sykes don’t tell you where the houses are until you pay in full. There was no way could walk anywhere at niag it was a dark farm track to get to cotto. Would not use this company again. They don’t trust customers.

  Great cottage in lovely location- however, arrived to find dog hairs all over the kitchen floor (not just a few either) so it was obvious that it hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly and my first job was to get the vacuum cleaner out which wasn’t a great start. Very tranquil location and the cottage was well kitted out - only issue was how quickly the hot water in the shower lasted! All things considered though, I would definitely stay again - my dog was happy there and property was very secure with the enclosed garden which was a priority this year with an 11 month old pup!
