Guests say
Guests consistently praise the spacious, well-equipped Arakhova cottage in Kirkcudbright for its cleanliness, comfort, and convenient location. The beautiful garden and peaceful surroundings complement the property's proximity to town. While the house is generally well-maintained, some guests noted the downstairs bathroom could benefit from an upgrade. The presence of a wood-burning stove adds a cosy touch to the experience.
Reviews frequently highlight the property's cleanliness, describing it as 'spotlessly clean' and 'lovely clean accommodation,' indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout.
The property's location is consistently praised for being peaceful yet within easy walking distance to Kirkcudbright town centre, offering beautiful views and convenient access to local amenities.
Guests find the house comfortable, with large rooms and ample space for different activities. The presence of a log stove is appreciated for added cosiness, although some mention light sleepers may need eye shades due to a streetlight outside a window.
The property is well-equipped with kitchen essentials, books, games, and DVDs. However, some guests noted a need for sharper knives and mentioned that the downstairs bathroom requires upgrading, which affects the score.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owner. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
