We have thoroughly enjoyed a stay at the Fish House this last week! It’s well equipped with everything you could need including camping chairs, wind break, body boards and various outdoor toys, clothes horse and iron, there’s a high chair, books, games, DVD’s, CD’s, telescope, binoculars and a few indoor toys too! The kitchen has everything you could need for making meals! Plenty of space and bathrooms for the 7 of us staying there! The garden/beach area across the road is amazing for sitting and enjoying the view or exploring the beach when the tide is out! Just a couple of minor things; the mattress in the double room was so uncomfortable we didn’t sleep well all week and were stiff and achy every morning. The bunk beds also had the same problem, our daughter is 12 and she found it extremely uncomfortable but younger children who are lighter maybe ok! Others in our party said their beds were quite comfy though! The WiFi was poor and disconnected a lot so had to use mobile data instead. Overall we have had a lovely week and would recommend the cottage to anyone!

Just what we needed after lockdown, Fish House is gorgeous and has everything you need for a lovely relaxing week away. It is very comfortable with plenty of space for 6 of us and a toddler to both relax and eat. We spent most evenings sitting in the garden over the road with a glass of Prosecco or two, looking out to sea, just watching the world & boats go by - perfect. Kirkcudbright (2 miles) is a lovely town where you are able to get all the supplies you will need for your stay. Lots of places to visit and we found that car parks are free and have toilets which was a bonus in these times.

The shower in the en-suite did not have any cold water running through it.. But the real issue for me was the wifi the cottage is advertised with free wifi.There is a bt hub there with password,but none of my party could connect to it. I have a disabled son who relies on his iPad for entertainment, so the wifi is one of the reasons for booking this cottage. If it wasn't for another member of our party bringing their own mobile wifi it could have been a ruined holiday for us.

Lovely house, very well equipped.. Beautiful view of the estuary from the little garden across the road. Lots to see in Kirkcudbright.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fish House, and the communication from both Sykes Cottages and the owners was excellent.. As a party of five adults we enjoyed the three bathrooms and two sitting rooms. The cottage was beautifully decorated and furnished with care and attention. The little touches of a varied collection of books, binoculars, soap in all bathrooms, tissues, dishwasher and washing machine tablets were all welcome. The area has a lot to offer, and we would be happy to return to Fish House and book through Sykes.

The house is exceptional and met all our needs.. Unfortunately our weather was terrible (Scotland at its best) and because there are no footpaths, we always had to go in the car if we wanted to go for a wee walk. Other than that we enjoyed the relaxation and played games to pass away the time and of course a few drinks over the New Year. All in all it was a great week away.

We rented fish house as a group of 8 over the new year period 2015/16. The cottage is a spacious, tastefully renovated house with a lovely warm feel to it. It has lovely views out to sea which you can enjoy from the sofa In front of the log burner or if the weathers kind, from fish houses own garden which is situated opposite the cottage, where you can enjoy a coffee and wave at the trawler boats passing by. Kirkudbright has a great selection of bars, restaurants and shops serving local produce if cooking isn't your thing. We all had a great stay at fish house and can't wait to visit again in the near future Picture attached is where I had my coffee on New Years morning

Fish house is a home from home. Equipped with all of the things you could need, this lovingly and stylishly renovated cottage was great for our family get together. The location is amazing, and a little road to cross to the garden area with a picnic table with views across the estuary and into the sea, perfect for morning coffee, breakfast, lunch and a fish and chip supper. A bonus are some steps down to your little 'beach' area for rock pooling with space for the children to run and play. Located just outside of Kirkcudbright it is a real gem with options to go into the town, or up the coast to a larger beach area or further afield for walking and exploring. We will definitely be returning in the future.

We had a lovely time at the fish house, we had worried about the road, however at the time of year we went (end of October/beginning of November) it was very quiet.. The views were fantastic. It was magical watching the fishing boats going past and the lovely sunrises. There was lots of birdlife in the bay and surrounding the house - pheasants on the beach were a first for us! The house was lovely, very comfortable and full of interesting things.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fish House, it has been renovated to a very high standard, very tasteful and has bundles of warmth and character! It was plenty big enough for our new year reunion, with a large family table and cosy sofa in front of the fire, it comfortably slept 8 of us. It was so lovely to wake up on New Year's Day and go for a brisk walk along the sea front, perfectly peaceful and cleared the hangovers! Thanks for letting us stay in this beautiful cottage, we'll definitely be back!
