We had a great stay at this property while working locally. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and well presented, with everything we needed for a longer work stay. Communication with the host was excellent throughout, and check-in/check-out was straightforward. The location was ideal for our work and we would happily stay here again.

A lovely stay in Kirkcudbright - convenient location, cosy, quiet and clean. Kelly and Liam made it really easy to check in. Could not have asked for more! Nothing - this was an excellent stay.

Loved the owners Kelly and Liam are so welcoming and friendly, loved meeting the two dogs too. The bed is super comfortable and the place was clean and lovely. The only bad points we have was we are used to a king size bed so for us it was a bit snug but we expected that and being tall I couldn't check in the mirrors without bending and the space between the toilet and sink was tight but that's due to my height.

Lovely apartment, well appointed, perfectly located and in a wonderful place. Stayed for work for a week and this place was absolutely ideal. Clean tidy, comfy and full of character. A great location, superb eateries a 2 min walk away. Tons of easy access parking. Hope I get to come back and stay again.

What a fabulous apartment - perfect for what we needed for our weekend away. Five minutes drive to Talkin Tarn parkrun Saturday morning and 20 minutes to Gretna on Sunday for a 10k. The apartment was in a great spot and Brampton is lovely - we had an explore and a walk Saturday afternoon. Lovely furnishings and well equipped for what we needed. Kelly was a great host and very attentive providing clear instructions that we needed. Thank you Kelly and Liam from Jo, Jim and June X

Perfect place to break a long journey. Easy to find, good parking, clear instructions. For a small apartment it was beautifully done and really well equipped. Immaculately clean and super snug even when it was -6 outside

Excellent apartment, ideal for our stop over when travelling from London to Aberdeen. Local amenities nearby, shops, takeaway. Walk by the river was nice opportunity to stretch our legs. Convenient parking. Apartment was spotless and exactly as described. Bed was very comfy. Lounge space was a nice place to relax for the evening. Kelly was very friendly and responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
