- "Wonderful accommodation which was perfect for the make up of our group of 7 golfers. Large open plan spaces and great kitchen and dining area." - "It has the feel of a property a 1970s footballer would have constructed after signing a new deal. A time capsule for a bygone era. The area was near silent when we were there and I'm sure the outside space would be better utilised in warmer weather to take in the stunning views. The only thing I would point out is the lack of central heating (may be mentioned in the listing). There is a variety of electric heating options which take more time to organise then a central thermostat but the advantage is individuals can decide what to do with their room. If the decor is to your taste, it's a comfortable house with a large living space."

- "From the minute you walk in through the doorway you are hit with a sense of home. The owner has created a haven of peace and tranquility with an intuitive sense of what is comfortable but aesthetically pleasing too. The decor and fixtures and fittings are to a very high standard. The kitchen contained everything we could possibly need to cook for 5 people, Brooksyde is the best stocked house I have ever been in. From decent knives and scissors to a super-fast oven, everything in the kitchen made it a pleasure to prepare and cook meals. We all got addicted to the ease of using the Quooker tap, turn the tap and you have a cup of tea!!. Plenty of cutlery and crockery. Easy to control showers on the ground floor, good water pressure in lovely surroundings. The beds are very very comfy with crisp, pleasant smelling bedding, lovely to slip into on the very warm nights we had whilst in Kippford. The garden at Brooksyde is beautiful and well-maintained with so many different corners, seating areas, lawn area and shady bits that no matter what you want to do outside there is a patch there for you. Good choice of chairs and tables. Brooksyde is perfectly located in Kippford, away from the busiest parts but close enough that the first bar is only a 5 minute walk. The Mariners does nice meals, a good pint and a nice beer garden with stunning views across the estuary. The communication from Neil was useful with local info and nice knowing he was there if there were any issues."

- "We loved Berkeley from the moment we arrived - that view! The house was spotless and the owners had left wonderful welcome treats - wine, crisps, fresh scones and even dog treats. The kitchen is fantastic - all of the appliances and utensils are superb quality. The snug behind it was a cosy retreat on wet days for reading a book, and was well stocked with board games. Beds and bedding were very comfortable, and it was great that they each had an ensuite bathroom. As dog owners, it was great to have the outside porch to use for drying wet paws and the utility room for dog bowls in a quiet spot. And when the sun came out, the corner sofa on the balcony was the only place to be!Kippford felt like a good base - we walked to Rockcliffe a couple of times and spent a fair bit of time in the woods and nature reserve around the house. We drove to Sandyhills beach and walked at low tide to the rock arch at Piper's Cove. We did a little cycling but could have done a whole lot more - both in the woods and on the road. Food shopping meant a quick drive to Dalbeattie, but for milk and bread we could just pop down to The Ark. The coffee, cakes, and breakfasts there come highly recommended!All in all, exactly the week we were after, in a beautiful house."

- "Even the drive along the narrow lane some minutes away from property highlights you are going somewhere special. A location that cannot be bettered, the house was spacious with bags of character. We all just loved the place. Surrounding countryside beautiful and lets pay a little tribute to village cafe in Auchencairn. Don't go to Kippford and not visit Auchencairn 10 mins away." - "Kippford is a pretty village on a beautiful river estuary and the location of Thornleigh is stunning - a stones throw from the beach where we swam and paddle boarded. The house is very spacious and well equipped with amazing views to appreciate the sunsets. The house is comfortable rather than luxurious but that suited us perfectly as we could relax and feel at home and we have all agreed that we will make Thornleigh an annual event!"
