    Would have liked a bigger freezer but that's just a personal choice

    Had a bit of trouble with toilet flush handle which was sorted and didn't spoil our holiday. Owners were extremely attentive 💕

    The smaller double bed was reported as being too soft. Could have done with a box grater in the kitchen, otherwise kitchen facilities excellent.

    Lovely and warm. Great shower in main bathroom. Very comfortable super king bed. Great location in the town. We had no problem parking.

    Nothing.

    Photos don't do the cottage justice, it's lovely, warm and spacious with excellent facilities in the kitchen. Communication was great from the owners (lost my phone so couldn't reply but the info pack had all the info you'd need). Spotlessly clean, a real gem in a great location with easy parking right outside the front door

    Central location but quiet. Beautifully furnished to a high spec with lovely art on the walls. I loved the upstairs lounge as my reading nook. Kitchen well-appointed and courtesy fresh milk and shortbread a lovely welcoming touch. A real 'home from home'.

    The cottage was spotless and it was like home from home. Kirkcudbright is such a friendly place that you don’t want to leave. The town is like one of those Christmas films with all the little independent shops. So many places to visit with breathtaking scenery that you need several days here. The hosts were excellent. Good Wi-Fi, warm comfy beds and everything was within walking distance.

    Really well equipped, clean, warm, comfortable house in a very convenient location. Really quiet even though it's in town so great nights' sleep in comfy bed. Easy entry, great communication, and help on hand if needed. Nice also to have a clear and managed recycling bin set up. Shops and restaurants nearby.

    My husband would have liked a more comfortable sofa. I would have liked a washing machine. The details don't list one but if one were staying there for a week or more a trip to the launderette wouldn't be ideal. I did a tiny amount of hand washing to get by. Also, it should be made clear, that there is no outside area at all. This wasn't a problem as the weather wasn't conducive to sitting out but just so you're aware. I also should say that the house gets very very warm even in a wet summer and some of the windows cannot be opened and they are painted shut. What makes it feel even hotter is that downstairs you can't readily see out as the bottom half of the sash windows are frosted.

    Providence Cottage was great for us for four nights in the first week of Aug 2023 when the weather wasn't brilliant. It was spotlessly clean and in the kitchen I found all I needed for cooking purposes. The bed was very comfortable and as there were only two of us I enjoyed having the other double room as a dressing room. The bathroom was spacious with a heated towel rail. We were lucky and could usually park very close to the house.

    We had a wonderful stay at the cottage for four days. Ian and Louise have ensured that the cottage has everything you need, is cosy, and very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the extra sitting area on the top floor (attic) with views of the castle and tollbooth.

    Providence Cottage has a great location - street side and quiet and we really enjoyed our time there. It doesn't have any outside space. Not an issue in Autumn / Winter but in Summer, it could be.

    Details for access provided by owners in advance of arrival - worked well.

    The fact that the cottage isn't MINE ALL MINE!

    Providence Cottage is excellently located within Kirkcudbright, near all the amenities and places of interest. It's been renovated to an extremely high standard with spacious rooms, good-quality furniture and fine decor. The kitchen is well-equipped with matching crockery, cutlery and utensils. Everything about the place has a feeling of quality and that the owners CARE. No corners have been cut! The top room up the spiral staircase is easily accessible - even for the likes of me, and I'm 6ft 7in tall - and would be a very exciting 'secret room' for children. The heating is toasty-warm when required and the water good and hot. I hope to return to Kirkcudbright and it would be MAD not to make Providence Cottage my first choice for where to stay. The best UK holiday cottage or apartment I've ever stayed in.

    Only thing was need for some blackout blinds or curtains in bedrooms to make rooms darker, as there are street lights outside.

    Very comfortable holiday cottage, tastefully and artistically decorated. Very well provisioned kitchen. Plenty of local information available, maps, books, DVDs and board games available. Characteristic attic room to relax in. Centrally located in quiet historic part of town.
