The room is exactly like the picture,very clean and tidy.The interior decoration is elaborate.When I just came in,my mood was bright. David was very patient and friendly,I started asking many questions before I arrived,he always responded me very quickly.The breakfast was perfect for my appetite,especially their homemade yogurt!Fresh and healthy!And David could make dinner also,just asking him!My pity was that I didn’t know the first day.The most surprising thing was that he has been my city before, what a coincidence! I slept very well the two nights,the quilt was warm. Hopefully I will come back next year!

Location is perfect - only a few miles from the A75 and in a very quiet village. I was a good base for exploring the area. The building is old, and pre-dates ensuite bathrooms, but my room had been two smaller ones opened into one big one to allow for this which gave lots of space, even with a large double and a single bed in it. And the double bed was extremely comfortable. The room had a microwave as well as a kettle, and the breakfasts were excellent. It was also beautifully clean. And the hosts were super helpful.

Everything that was there was fine, but a small fridge added would have been really useful. Not a fault, but as the nearest restaurant is 10mins drive away a fridge would be good for stays longer than one night.

Easy access off the main A 75, parking available outside on the Main Street. Debbie texts the access code and finer details on the day of check in. The boutique accents and decor are charming. The history of the inn display and dates back to 1814. Breakfast (full cooked breakfast) was excellent and included in the price. Such a unique place with a relaxed atmosphere. Nothing is too much trouble and Debbie is available for any questions or information you may have. The passion she has for her inn is evident in the little touches you see around the place. Definitely would recommend and hope to be back for another stay again soon.

Nothing.

David and Debbie were very welcoming and the accommodation was warm and comfortable

this has nothing to do with the accommodation but the area is very remote (both good and bad) and you will need a car or vehicle to get around. There is no close eating places via foot and you will have to drive to the next town for take away, restaurants or supermarket However, the room was equipped with a microwave and kettle so was able to make something if needed and was offered food by Debbie and David.

David was a very welcoming host. Room a very good size with good facilities, the bathroom was very spacious and there was an actual dressing room/ wardrobe area. Expected just a continental breakfast but a full cooked was offered and accepted. We were also offered an evening meal though we had made arrangements.

Parking was on the street outside which wasn't ideal. Dining and lounge areas quite dark. The brushed cotton bedding which would be welcome later in the year was too warm, but we adapted.

The rooms were lovely. Our teenagers had a double and single room with a 4-poster bed. It had a beautiful big bathroom. We knew we would be arriving very late from the ferry and the owner(possibly Dave?) confirmed that would be OK. He was very kind and so welcoming. We had a lovely breakfast the next morning before continuing our travels. We would have loved to have stayed longer. We would definitely stay here again. It was a perfect location just 25-30 minutes from the ferry.

Nothing. It was lovely.

Debbie and Dave were both so welcoming and a joy to chat to during our stay. Debbie was able to suggest some beautiful local walks to stretch our legs after our long drive up to Scotland. We even had the pleasure of some live music the night we stayed. The room was lovely and comfortable. We stayed for one night on the way to Cairnryan, it is a handy distance from the port, meaning we only had a half hour drive the next morning. Debbie and Dave were also accommodating allowing my parents in for breakfast the next morning as they had driven overnight to meet us for the ferry. We would absolutely come and stay here again for longer to explore the surrounding area

We so very much enjoyed our stay! Dave was more than fun and entertaining to chat with over our much needed evening drink in the quaint bar of Craiglaw Arms. If you want an authentic Scottish accommodation, then this is the place to be! Not only is it a great little village to experience, but there was so much wonderful charm to this inn. Dave has done a magnificent job in retaining its history and original architectural elements. There was much to enjoy in the honest, friendly, and lively demeanor of our host as well as the the authenticity of the inn with its old charm ambiance. Our room had a nicely decorated, and modest "at home" feel to it, so was comfortable. Our breakfast was perfect and we were offered a nice selection of home-cooked options.

Our room was directly above the street so you will need to keep your room shaded for privacy. This isn't really a "no like" situation that requires any adjustment. Like I said, this is an authentic inn. I find no fault in this, but some folks may like to know should there be an option to have a room not facing the main street.

The area around Kirkcowan is very interesting and pretty with lots to see, historic places to visit, sea to walk along and a little further afield is the artists town of Kirkcudbright. I had a fantastic time. The hospitality was great and the owner of the hotel was very accommodating and obliging, a wealth a information and a great host at the bar. The breakfasts are fantastic. All in all a really great experience.

There is very little that I could improve. Pretty near to perfect I should say.

Cooked breakfast was good, had better but had much worse so I'd rate it as fairly good. Room was very clean & spacious. Bed very comfortable, ensuite was a bit on the neat side but had good shower which is always a winner. Staff very friendly. TV was on a fire stick which we've not used before but was good once we'd fathomed out how it worked lol.

Nothing to dislike.
