Over the years we’ve been fortunate to have stayed in many lovely 5 star holiday properties around the country; the majority have been in great locations and have had fantastic views. Berkeley has just become our favourite. Not only is it a beautiful property but Kippford and the surrounding area offer so much with excellent walks, wonderful scenery and peace and quiet. We have rarely returned to the same cottage twice so the fact that we’ve booked another stay at Berkeley next year ( for a fortnight this time ) demonstrates just how much we have enjoyed our recent holiday there. 2027 will be a special year for us and we want another opportunity to visit this lovely area and we wouldn’t consider staying anywhere other than Berkeley.
