The cottage was superb! Big comfy beds, all the mid-cons you need and a log burner for those chilly Scottish nights! The kitchen was really well equipped, the best weve ever had when renting. The owner, Karen, left us some welcome flowers and cookies and put milk, tea & coffee in the house for us. Garden is safe for children and dogs, no where tRead moreo escape! 100% recommend. Hide

Kinnen Cottage is a true home from home. Its our second visit there because it meets our needs so well. The cottage is brilliantly equipped and Creetown is a friendly little village with enough going on to feel you are somewhere and easy to access other places/attractions. Lots of lovely walks straight from the door and the birdsong in the gardeRead moren is absolutely fantastic. Hide

Lovely cottage, very well appointed, with everything you could think of or need. Quality linens and very clean, top to bottom. The welcome pack was ideal, and there was bird food for the garden too. Exceedingly quiet, ideal for recharging your batteries. The log burner and under floor heating were exceptional.

Excellent cottage. High quality furnishings throughout. Every thing you need in the kitchen and more. Best we have stayed in. Lovely sheltered garden too. We were made to feel very welcome in the village. Good small convenience store and a family butcher only a short walk away. Karen is a great host providing detailed information prior to arrival.
