  We had a truly wonderful stay at Airds of Kells House. The location is fantastic - perfect for exploring all that Dumfries and Galloway has to offer, as well as being surrounded by countryside views. My kids had such fun running wild in the grounds. We even saw deer on arrival (though they didn't return during our stay). The pheasants kept us all amused with their crazy running, though they were a little overwhelming for the dogs when outside (on leads). The house itself is really well equipped, with an abundance of crockery and tableware in the kitchen. We cooked the most delicious Easter roast in the rayburn. The bedrooms are also well appointed, we loved finding a torch in each for nighttime (or possible powercuts, but this didn't happen) - a nice touch. The beds and pillows are comfortable, with good quality linen and towels provided, and so much space for everyone. Additionally, the bathrooms are lovely, with plenty of hot water to go round. It's obvious the house is well loved and it is decorated to a high standard. If I had one minor comment, it would be that the rugs in the kitchen could do with non-slip backing, as we went skidding on them a few times! The only room we didn't use was the dining room (except to hide eggs for the Easter egg hunt), as the dining space in the kitchen was more than adequate for the 6 of us. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property :)

  We have stayed here before, we like the house and it's location, being convenient for the shops, eateries, and the many walks in the area. The house could do with a bit of updating, but it's comfortable and clean. The only issue we had was access to the back garden. There are no steps or proper path to the main garden, only an earth bank with an uneven grass walkway which I struggled with. The access was also a bit overgrown so we had to push back brambles etc to get through. For anyone who is fit and sure footed it's ok, but I am not so good on my feet because of arthritis in my knees and hips. I felt the need to highlight this are because I'm probably not the only one who will find this an issue.

  We knew exactly what the property would be like from the website information and we weren't disappointed. The cottage is old fashioned in all ways, yet is comfortable and warm throughout. The kitchen and dining area is very well appointed. The fact that we were able to use the open fire was wonderful for us. We had noticed a previous review about the poor condition of the garden, but it was very neat and tidy for our stay with seating provided for use.

  We have stayed in this house many times and it suits our needs.it is quite old fashioned with a small tv and no wifi so I’m not sure younger people would be happy there.we used to take other members of our family occasionally but with the ridiculous new rules they can’t use the attic room now .It is fine for an older couple like us.The location is great and Gatehouse is a lovely place with plenty of walks and beaches.

  No4 is idealy placed for all amenities in Gatehouse. The property although a bit dated is comfortable and has everything you need. I felt the crockery could do with replacing particularly the mugs and glasses. I also felt it could have done with a deep clean. There was soot coming down the chimney and some neglected corners.
