Guests say

Gardener's Cottage-UXT in Castle Douglas is praised for its beautiful gardens, peaceful woodland setting, and cleanliness. Guests appreciate the quiet, comfortable environment for a short break or a full recharge. While some minor issues with facilities are noted, such as the lack of a shower and soft furniture, the overall experience is very positive, with the cottage's charm and location being particularly highlighted.

The cottage is consistently described as clean and comfortable, indicating high standards of cleanliness maintained by the property.

The location is praised for its quietness and beauty, offering a peaceful retreat. However, some guests experienced difficulty finding the cottage due to road closures and unreliable navigation, slightly affecting the score.

The cottage is generally found to be comfortable, with a particularly comfortable bed mentioned. However, some guests found the chairs and sofa too soft, and the lack of a handrail was a minor issue for a guest with mobility issues.

The property is well-equipped, but there are comments about the lack of a working shower and the desire for better garden furniture. These points suggest room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

There are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so this category cannot be scored.
