Guests say
Gullsway is a warmly regarded cottage with stunning views over the estuary, offering a comfortable and well-equipped stay. Guests appreciate its spaciousness, warmth, and the tranquillity of its location, with several visitors planning return visits. The presence of a nearby pub and eatery adds to the convenience, and the property's setting makes it ideal for a relaxing holiday with opportunities for birdwatching.
The property generally seems well-kept, though there is a mention of dog hairs and old food crumbs suggesting room for improvement in cleanliness. However, this appears to be an isolated comment rather than a common theme.
The location is consistently praised for its beautiful views over the river Nith and the peaceful environment. Its proximity to a pub and eatery is also noted positively.
Guests find the cottage comfortable and well-equipped, with ample space for families or groups to relax. The air source heating is appreciated for keeping the property warm.
The house is described as well-equipped, with special mentions of the sun room and outdoor seating areas. However, the mention of a need for a deep clean slightly impacts the score.
There are no specific references to gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
