Perfect spot for touring around the Kirkcudbright area. Providence Cottage is a gem - well kitted out kitchen and great sleeping arrangements for our group. We appreciated the option of having the twin room set up as a king for our stay. We loved that we could walk to local grocery stores and pubs/restaurants.

Lovely cottage in a good location

The cottage is lovely, plenty of room and with everything you need. The location was good, in the centre of Kirkcudbright near to the shops and with a few local cafes, pubs and restaurants within a few minutes walk. This is a great place just to relax and unwind with good access for a few local days out. Definitely worth seeing the Red Kite feeding station and the red squirrels at Threave Estate.

60th Birthday walking weekend

Absolutely as described. Everything very clean/new and everything you could need for a comfortable stay. We know the area so went walking to our favourite places. There was plenty of suggested routes in the information folder in the house. Highly recommend this property and will go back.

Traditional cottage with mod cons

Very tasteful & homely high spec cottage, in a lovely traditional & quiet area, a literal stone's throw from the town centre, harbour and attractions. Highly recommended. The property is spacious, newly refurbed to a very high standard, with traditional decor and furniture. Plenty of room and facilities. Useful information and guide books provided. Good communication with the owners, if needed. It was hard to leave as we felt so relaxed and at home there. Would definitely stay again.

beautiful cottage, unfortunally with the possibility to stay outdoors

Nearley everything worked out fine; a few things (fridge cupholder and the towel rail in the upper bathroom) were not 100 percent usable (because they were partly broken or poorly repaired).
Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 7 September 2023
Thank you for your review. Unfortunately not all your comments are factual. The facts are that you caused damage to the fridge and pulled the bathroom towel rail off the wall. We ask our guests to report any faults or damage immediately, but of course you didn’t do this. You rolled up some toilet paper and shoved it in the hole you had made in our bathroom wall. Furthermore, you left our cottage in a truly disgusting state. In four years of running this holiday cottage, you are the worst guest we have had the displeasure of hosting.

Stay in Scotland's Artist Town

This is a lovely, well appointed, cosy and comfortable holiday home in the heart of Kirkcudbright. A great place to visit: art galleries, antique shops, history, beaches and wonderful countryside to explore, literally on your doorstep. The accommodation provided us with everything we could wish for and our hosts were excelent. A great holiday.

Providence Cottage is a providential find

Recently restored and refurbished, Providence Cottage is conveniently situated in the attractive artistic town of Kirkcudbright. The accommodation comprises a ground floor kitchen/dining area and large, comfortable sitting room, two bedrooms and a large shower room on the first floor, and an additional sitting area (and shower room) on the top floor, reached by a narrow spiral staircase. This was lovely to sit in on a sunny late afternoon - not sop pleasant when the rain was hitting the roof! Everything has been finished to a high standard, the beds in particular being very comfortable. We stayed a week and could find no faults.
