Hot tub disappointing, we spent two hours trying to keep kindle alight but there was insufficient kindle so we were unsuccessful in trying the hot tub experience. We were given to understand in your advertising that there was a pub within 1-2 minute walk but couldn't locate it. Locals told us there was no working pub. It transpires there's a desolate and unkempt building within a 2 minute walk. No beer, no wine, no food, nobody! The people and nearby harbours were so nice and welcoming, it was just so unfortunate that I couldn't relax and enjoy a couple of drinks because of the need to drive there. I gave feedback to Chloe before we left and she said she would address the issues. Chloe did say she would give me a taxi telephone number but taxis costs are not within our budget especially as we had already paid £640 for the week's rental which I feel was excessively overpriced. As my friend pushed the key through the letterbox on our departure I realised my mobile phone was charging in the house! I contacted Chloe and she very kindly contacted her husband who came to my rescue and let me in to retrieve the phone and charger. What a gentleman.

It provides a basic level of comfort and convenience. Whithorn is charming and quirky, an excellent base for exploring the Machar Peninsula. More crocks, cutlery and glassware please. The Sykes booking option of a range of dates made search for property so much easier, great feature.

Great coastal roads and superb golf courses within easy reach. Chloe was easy to communicate with and very helpful. Excellent hot tub!
