What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a wonderful few days staying at this lovely cottage just before Christmas to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary.

  We had been keen to escape from the stress of Christmas and recharge our batteries and the appeal of a little fisherman’s cottage near the sea was hard to resist. The weather as predicted was awful but the cottage was so welcoming and warm with its log burning wood stove, lovely furnishings and decor. The bedrooms comfortably furnished with seaside themes and the beds so comfortable. There was a lovely welcome pack on arrival and the kitchen is well equipped with everything you could need. The upstairs main bedroom and shower room has a very low sloping ceiling which it takes a bit of getting used to and I did manage to bang my head on it once so something to be aware of but you only make that mistake once and just something to be aware of. Being a thick walled cottage, we never heard any loud traffic even though we were not far from the town centre. There are also so many decent shops nearby for supplies, eg. Places to eat, coffee shops, gift shop,bakers, fishmonger, co op, hotel, fish and chip shop etc all less than 5 minute walk away and a lovely harbour and beach 15 mins walk away. The cottage can comfortably accommodate a family of 4 or 2 couples or even just one couple like us looking for some peace and quiet. We loved our stay here and would definitely like to return again in the summer. Thank you so much for helping us celebrate our special anniversary and take home some lovely memories to treasure.

  On arrival everything seemed fine. The following morning however we discovered we were sharing the cottage with mice who made their presence quite obvious with mouse dropping over the kitchen floor and inside the kitchen cupboards. This also explained why our dog had woken us up during the night wanting to get into the kitchen. The little pests had torn through the wrapper of my unopened twix bar and had a good old nibble of it. Owner was notified and suggested putting traps and poison down which we declined as we had the dog with us. Luckily neither of us were afraid of mice .. We did leave a day early not because of the mice but we found the mattress on the bed so uncomfortable resulting in back ache it's appreciated that this could be a personal preference but it did effect our stay.

  No faults, no issues, nothing missing. It was truly a home from home, spacious, comfortable, warm, excellent decor and every appliance and comfort we have at home. The log burner really heated up the living room fast although the decent central heating is fabulous for heating the whole house. Abundance of everything, towels, dishcloths, bedding, blankets, cushions, pillows. The rooms are well decorated and relaxing. Location is perfect for walking into town, or to the beach or down to the harbour, or along the road to the Bandstand to view the sunset over the beach. Fabulous house, fabulous location. Hazel is brilliant as a Host, kept in touch, before during and after our stay. Makes a difference.

  We’ve just returned from an amazing stay at Pier View and can’t recommend it highly enough.

  The accommodation was excellent, with comfortable beds and an extremely well-equipped kitchen that had everything we needed. The views of the loch from the front of the house are truly stunning – we could have easily spent hours just gazing out of the window, soaking in the scenery. While the weather wasn’t always on our side, we still managed to enjoy some fantastic walks, both around the cottage and further afield. For anyone travelling with a dog, Pier View is very pet-friendly. This was our first time exploring this part of Scotland, and it certainly won’t be our last – we’re already looking forward to coming back!

  We stayed at Fozbrae as we were between houses, we are local to Dumfries and Galloway., so know the area well. Foxbrae was perfect for us very much home from home. Very warm and comfortable, quiet location. The kitchen was extremely well equipped especially as we cooked all the time, good cupboard space for supplied.. The local shop at Colvend is very well stocked and our 6 month old pup loved being so close to the beach. Beautiful views from the lounge. Communication between Kate the owner was excellent and we appreciated her welcome call the first evening. We would recommend this house.
