Very convenient location and very clean

Not really much we didn’t like - an apron and sharper knives would be good but these are small niggles

Providence Cottage was great for us for four nights in the first week of Aug 2023 when the weather wasn't brilliant. It was spotlessly clean and in the kitchen I found all I needed for cooking purposes. The bed was very comfortable and as there were only two of us I enjoyed having the other double room as a dressing room. The bathroom was spacious with a heated towel rail. We were lucky and could usually park very close to the house.

My husband would have liked a more comfortable sofa. I would have liked a washing machine. The details don't list one but if one were staying there for a week or more a trip to the launderette wouldn't be ideal. I did a tiny amount of hand washing to get by. Also, it should be made clear, that there is no outside area at all. This wasn't a problem as the weather wasn't conducive to sitting out but just so you're aware. I also should say that the house gets very very warm even in a wet summer and some of the windows cannot be opened and they are painted shut. What makes it feel even hotter is that downstairs you can't readily see out as the bottom half of the sash windows are frosted.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage for four days. Ian and Louise have ensured that the cottage has everything you need, is cosy, and very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the extra sitting area on the top floor (attic) with views of the castle and tollbooth.

Details for access provided by owners in advance of arrival - worked well.

Providence Cottage has a great location - street side and quiet and we really enjoyed our time there. It doesn't have any outside space. Not an issue in Autumn / Winter but in Summer, it could be.

Everything. A beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting. It is an exceptionally comfortable place to stay, with everything you could wish for to make a great holiday. The owners have obviously taken great care to make it such a welcoming place to stay.

Nothing

Providence Cottage is excellently located within Kirkcudbright, near all the amenities and places of interest. It's been renovated to an extremely high standard with spacious rooms, good-quality furniture and fine decor. The kitchen is well-equipped with matching crockery, cutlery and utensils. Everything about the place has a feeling of quality and that the owners CARE. No corners have been cut! The top room up the spiral staircase is easily accessible - even for the likes of me, and I'm 6ft 7in tall - and would be a very exciting 'secret room' for children. The heating is toasty-warm when required and the water good and hot. I hope to return to Kirkcudbright and it would be MAD not to make Providence Cottage my first choice for where to stay. The best UK holiday cottage or apartment I've ever stayed in.

The fact that the cottage isn't MINE ALL MINE!

not important ,but tv veiwing in the evening could have been better if it were a smart tv.

Very comfortable holiday cottage, tastefully and artistically decorated. Very well provisioned kitchen. Plenty of local information available, maps, books, DVDs and board games available. Characteristic attic room to relax in. Centrally located in quiet historic part of town.

Only thing was need for some blackout blinds or curtains in bedrooms to make rooms darker, as there are street lights outside.
