Thoughtful touches, such as welcome packs, are frequently mentioned, though not guaranteed.

The cottage is well equipped, especially the kitchen, but several guests mention maintenance issues such as uneven flooring at the bottom of the stairs, a dated bathroom, and the need for improvements to the outdoor space.

The entrance way was dangerous asIt moved when stood on , making it tricky to access the stairs. Especially for people with difficulty walkingThe rooms could do with a good clean and a lick of paint wouldn’t go amiss .Lovely and cosy with the fire on after the days activities .

I have booked holidays with Cottages.com for many years. Sunnyside is in a good area to visit the lovely places like Dumfries, Castle Douglas and Threave Garden. My main issues are the entrance hall very dangerous wooden flooring uneven and at times felt your foot was going to go through the floor also cottage not clean suite very low. Anywhere I go I have been positive in all the choices of places I go but with this cottage sorry to say im very negative
