Excellent holiday accommodation in a very good position near the beach. Helpful owner is nearby. Great for a couple or a small family it is very well equipped although the kitchen is a little tight when the table is extended. The house is solar powered so if you are not familiar with how it works you may need to ask as the instructions were not readily available when we arrived. Heating is superb and the house is very warm. Space for off road parking for one car. Handy for the Jubilee path to Kippford which has a nice cafe/shop and two pubs.

Lovely cosy cottage in great location close to the beach. Lots of walks from the cottage without having to drive anywhere (which I like!). I noticed a few comments regarding the bed - I think must be new - as very comfortable, I didn’t want to get up! The only downside was the bathroom being on the cold side - the towel rail really doesn’t provide enough heat to warm it up unfortunately- however, hasn’t put me off thinking about staying here again.

Primrose cottage is a little GEM close to the beach with lots of great walking in a lovely area. Owners are a very nice couple on hand for any problems. The cottage is very well equipped and lacks nothing at all.
