We recently returned home from a lovely relaxing week staying in Hameish. The cottage was spotless with a comfortable spacious lounge to relax on an evening. We had everything that we needed, a real home from home with a cosy feel. The location is excellent for flat walks by the river either way, we enjoyed days out exploring the local areas. Peaceful relaxing and just what was needed.Andy & Kathleen have really thought of everything to make perfect holiday cottage so inviting. Thank you so much, we hope to return as we loved our stay

Staying at Hameish cottage was a lovely experience, very clean and comfortable and little thoughtful
Staying at Hameish cottage was a lovely experience, very clean and comfortable and little thoughtful touches were very welcome. Location was perfect for us, it is about a 20 minute walk from town which suited us very well. Also having the convenience of the bus stop a couple of minutes walk away meant we didn’t need to use our car that much at all. Despite being close to the main road into Kirkcudbright it was so peaceful and quiet, we didn’t notice the traffic at all. Good base for exploring the local area, great local walks and beyond. Close to the river, nice to experience the wildlife and scenery. Bed was comfortable and we slept well. Nice spacious bathroom and good to have the en-suite. Kitchen was really well equipped and very easy to use. Given the property and location value for money was very good. We are booking for next year!

Having the owners living next door only added to the sense of security in these uncertain times.
My wife and I enjoyed a stress free break and returned home feeling fully refreshed.

Hameish is an extremely comfortable cottage and makes an ideal base for exploring the beautiful countryside around Kirkcudbright. The owners, who live next door, have put a great deal of thought into equipping the cottage and it was spotlessly clean when we arrived which was very welcome as we had been shielding throughout lockdown and this was our first break away. Milk and wine in the fridge and fresh flowers on the windowsill all contributed positively to the feeling of being made welcome on arrival. Although there are lovely views across the river from the car park and garden the cottage itself just looks onto the garden. It is an easy walk into town to the nearest shops. Have no reservation in recommending this lovely holiday cottage.

Everything about the cottage is perfect and well thought out for a lovely holiday. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen very well equipped, wi-fi good and the T.V. and entertainment system better than home! The outdoor area and facilities are great with wonderful views over the river. The owners Andy & Kathleen live nearby and couldn't do enough to make our holiday perfect.

Hameish Cottage was comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean on arrival. Lots of thought and planning has obviously gone into making every stay an enjoyable experience. The location is ideal with stunning views over the river and the centre of Kirkcudbright is an easy 10 minute stroll. Would recommend both the cottage and the area without hesitation.

We enjoyed a delightful week's stay and found the accommodation very comfortable with a great location. It is reassuring to know that COVID-19 precautions are being taken. It was lovely to find milk in the fridge, biscuits and a bottle of Proseco in the fridge! Beds very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. It was good to be able to sit outside and see a view of the River Dee.
