The only thing that was less than great was the humidity, but that certainly did not the fault of the property or hosts!

Tris provided a wonderful array of self-serve breakfast foods including fresh fruit, cereals, yogurt coffee, tea, granola, etc. The room was cozy and clean. The shower was wonderful, and there were many things provided that a traveler might not have on hand. We had a great time reading through his guest book and even left our own little doodle! Tris was there to help with anything that might come up. By far, the best experience of our trip, and we'd happily stay again given the opportunity.

A warm welcome from Triss upon arrival, Cornmill House with its enviable location right on the shore front overlooking Wigtown Bay has all you need to enjoy a stay at the property. The room is large enough to relax in with an extremely comfortable bed and an en-suite with an amazing shower! There are plenty of cereals, bread, milk, fruit, tea and coffee making facilities along with other items for you to make your own breakfast and / or an evening snack if you wish. A couple of minutes walk down the road leads you to the Harbour Inn which is a nice and cosy inn offering some great beers and although we didn't try it this time the restaurant was extremely busy. Overall it was a great two night stay in a very peaceful location. Would definitely return when we are back in the area.

nothing it was perfect in every way both the location and the accommodation.

The location was perfect, I needed a break from everything and this gave me just that, it was so quiet, lovely walks on the beach and so much to see in the surrounding areas. We had a bit of a nightmare journey and Cassie was so kind on our arrival, I really can't thank her enough. The room was lovely, so comfortable, clean and Cassie was very thoughtful, with drinks and food in the room that we had not expected. I really do hope to stay here again.

The bed was comfy but the mattress wasn't a firm as I'm use to.

Facilities were amazing. You really only need your toothbrush and a change of clothes.

Fully catered for independent stay. Close to great beach and a short stroll to excellent cafe and pub.

Friendly, helpful. You could come and go as you please. Independent , if there was anything you needed they would get it for you. Great little oasis on our holiday.

I liked everything.

It was perfect for a single traveller. The room was a good size, immaculately prepared, and very comfortable. The shower was simple and effective. There was a variety of breakfast cereals and drinks. The bed was very comfortable. Triss, the host, was friendly and welcoming. The location on the sea front was perfect. It's a small village with no shop as such, but an excellent cafe and a Good Beer Guide pub - two handpumps selling Scottish beers ( Jarl and a house beer brewed by Belhaven while I was there). The sunrise and sunset during my stay were stunning. I came home feeling physically and mentally refreshed, having enjoyed my stay in The Machars
