The bathroom has fitted both a bath and a separate shower – ideal for indulgent soaks or quick refreshes after exploring.

Our 4th stay at Primrose Cottage and it never disappoints. It's small but perfectly formed and has everything needed for a perfect holiday. It's clean, well equipped and in a great location - by the beach and with plenty of walks on the doorstep. Outdoor tap to wash sand off feet - and dogs - really useful and annexe with washer and dryer if neededRead more. Already booked again for 2027. Hide

A wonderful cottage, very well furnished and all needs met. Lovely seating area front and private courtyard at back. Perfect location for walking and great to be so near the shore. Parking at the cottage was good to have. We will definitely be booking again.

Overpriced and disappointing. The flat is coy enough but some of the basics were missing.

Primrose Cottage is well equipped with everything you need for a holiday. Really lovely comfy beds in delightful rooms. Alas the sitting area is not so comfortable but I do appreciate that finding really comfy small sofas is difficult. The owner John couldnt be more helpful and kind.

A great getaway with everything you need to have a good time. Cottage was very clean and tidy with some nice places to visit nearby. We can recommend the RED KITE feeding station near Dalbeattie

This was a return visit so we knew what to expect. Can't fault Primrose Cottage - perfect location for the beach and walks for granddaughter, dog and us. Loved the changes made since our last visit. The seperate washroom is ideal for rinsing wetsuits and the tap by the back door meant that sandy feet could be cleaned before going indoors. It's a sRead moremall cottage and kitchen / eating space is limited so inevitably finding room for everything is a bit of a challenge - but after all it's a holiday so who cares? Nice seating area outside at the front to catch the evening sun - and we were lucky - there was plenty of that. Parking is definitely a big bonus. We hope to return next year so that pretty much sums it up. Hide

A very comfortable cottage, just a few steps from the beach. Nice local walks and a good base for exploring the area. The owner who lives close by was very helpful and friendly. We were fortunate to be in the area during the Spring Fling, artists open studios, which was wonderful!
