• "Loved this quirky cottage, other than the double bed!"

  The front bedroom is bigger and lighter, and could perhaps be made the main bedroom? Otherwise, facilities are excellent. Gatehouse of Fleet is a lovely place to stay. Lots of nearby walks for the dogs, special mentions for Iron Brew for breakfast, and yummy cakes, and the Masonic Arms for a teatime drink and some delicious food. Both very dog friendly, can’t wait to return.

• "Had a lovely stay."

  Very warm, cosy and comfortable. Great position with the town, very central. Needed to contact the owner because I locked myself out

• "Cottage in a great location and central to all facilities."

  The garden is as described and separate from the house but you definitely needed a torch for last dog trips before bed. We had to buy one as the one provided didn't work. Apart from that we had a good stay.

• "Sehr hübsches, gepflegtes Cottage zentral im Ort gelegen."

  Großer, gemütlicher Wohn-Ess-Bereich, Küche angrenzend. Küche ist ausreichend ausgestattet, obwohl wir ein Schneidbrett und einen großen Topf vermisst haben. Die beiden Schlafzimmer verfügen über gute Betten und zweckmäßige Wandschränke. Das Bad ist ein bisschen spartanisch, ohne eine Steckdose, Licht am Spiegel und Handtuchhalter, aber man kommt klar. Sehr angenehm der Kontakt zu den Eigentümern, als wir eine Einweisung für die Bedienung der Heizung benötigten. Im Gegensatz dazu die Agentur Sykes Holiday Cottages: Mehrfache Anfragen aufgrund einer notwendigen Änderung unserer Buchungen blieben unbeantwortet - komplett ohne Reaktion!

• "Hi we had a lovely stay the cottage was clean and comfortable and in a great location."

  We would probably not return for the sole reason that the garden was not attached to the property and the wall surrounding it not as high as we needed. Our dogs are medium and large and had to be supervised to and from the garden and kept on leads as they could easily jump over. We were hoping to just leave the back door open for them to go in and out as and when they pleased during our stay. The only other negative issue was the door locks/ keys they were both really difficult to lock and unlock from the inside and need attention as could potentially cause an issue if there was a fire. All in all though a pleasant stay in a great central location for exploring the area, the weather was reasonably nice and the people really friendly. The masons arms up the road did a lovely pint, and we had fab takeaway fish and chips from the ship inn over the road. An enjoyable stay overall.

• "No hairdryer."

  Upstairs curtains very thin--need lining or replacing;they don`t keep out the light. 1 tea towel for a week inadequate.. Beds in front bedroom very uncomfortable. Not up to Sykes usual standard.

  Hi Bruce really sorry that our lovely cottage wasn’t up to your expectations and regarding the beds they are all new! We did have a hair dryer but clearly we will have to replace it and if the tea towel was a big issue you could have called and we would have done our best to get you another one.

  It's warm, comfortable and well-equipped. I noticed that some other feedback concerned the small double bedroom, but we had no problems; the bed was very comfortable. We also liked the big TV (although we were out a lot) and the central location, near the great local walks, the shop and the pub.

• "We enjoyed our stay immensely."

  The property is equipped with more than what we needed and all the appliances and utensils were practically new judging from their condition. The gated garden area was invaluable for the dark early morning dog routine. Extremely warm and cosy in the evenings and perfectly placed to enjoy the charming little town. A wonderful park and miles of footpaths within a few hundred yards of the house which was great for the dogs. It is a pity we could not stay for longer.

• "This was our second year using this property and had a lovely time."

  The location is very good if you wish to travel around the area as it is central to many interesting places. My only suggested change for the owners to consider would be to install a handrail in the bathroom. As an older visitor I found shower over the bath a little precarious to step out of when wet.

• "Cottage in ideal location for all amenities."

  Garden an added bonus. Quiet, quaint and compact. Slept in front bedroom as much lighter and airier. Bathroom lovely. Would benefit from a welcome guide letting you know where cleaning utilities (hoover) etc (if available) were stored. Would benefit from some instructions on how to use TV, (BT box and TV), and other appliances etc Unfortunately, we were unable to access the TV during our stay due to an ariel not being installed and weather conditions for BT box. The weather was bad so TV was missed. Had to contact owner on a number of occasions. Left 1 day early.

  Hi Clen thank you for the kind feedback as it’s all greatly appreciated. Unfortunately you came to visit Gatehouse when a storm hit and all the town was hit by an electrical storm taking a lot of the internet and cables down in the process. We did our best to get you up and running, with an aerial man and BT all coming within the week, the BT box was also the internet and this doesn’t give TV channels just internet Wi-Fi (this was alot quicker than some residents in the town!) If I recall you also left early due to persistent weather conditions. The idea of some information on the use of the equipment is a good idea and I’ll put something together. Thanks again and hope we could see you again for a better experience in Gatehouse. Thanks again Hannah x Property Owner

• "A beautiful cottage, everything you need for a stay."

  An ideal base to go walking or the beaches, which there are plenty of, small towns and villages. Cocoa bean chocolate farm, Galloway ice cream farm, ideal if you have kids. Only issue we had was the back door, took a while to work out you had to lift the key whilst turning it to get it open. Loved the garden, saw the red kites and the weather was great apart from 1 day. But that’s the weather for you. Would definitely recommend staying here.

  Double bed in boxroom did not work for us- not enough room and difficult to use. Fixed easily as we could move into the single bedded room.

  It's been beautifully renovated and has everything you could possibly need. Particularly enjoyed the comfy lounge.

  One minor problem was that we had to juggle around the 4 duvets to provide warm enough cover for three people (in Autumn). We had to use a single duvet and a double duvet with the double bed, and a double duvet with one of the single beds. It wouldn't have been OK if there had been 4 of us. Or if it had been colder at night. Anyway, apart from that (easily fixable) issue the house was great.
