Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Moira K. 14 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Faultless property We really enjoyed our stay in Fish House as it was the perfect property for a restful and relaxing holiday. Spotlessly clean, the house was beautifully furnished and extremely well equipped - the best I have ever stayed in. There were lots of thoughtful little touches, including much appreciated nightlights and even a picnic set! The generous welcome pack was a real treat and made us feel at home from the moment we stepped through the door. The terrace and garden were a real bonus and made it easy to relax and unwind. Kirkcudbright itself is a real gem and we would recommend the art gallery, which boasts a really excellent collection of paintings and ceramics. Rock life and Dhoon beaches are also well worth a visit. I would recommend this property without hesitation. ##### Moira K.
