Description from owner
Description
A unique location off the historic High Street overlooking Kirkcudbright marina and harbour with far reaching views of the Galloway Hills. Sit out on the jetty and watch the yachts or the fishing boats approaching harbour. Or get out the binoculars and spot the cormorants. Fabulous views from all the bedrooms and both sitting rooms. Enjoy a barbecue on the completely private, sunny patio. Spacious accommodation on one level with plenty of room for 8 and 3 bathrooms so no waiting around to get in the shower! Very quiet and peaceful but only 3 minute's walk from all amenities.
Bed linen, towels and heating included.
On street parking (non-designated) 40 yards up private pedestrian lane from house.

Response from the owner Thank you for your review. Very happy to have fitted you in at the last minute and to hear that the Boathouse was an ideal match for you. The peace is what a lot of guests mention - you can arrive a bit frazzled after a long journey but after a few minutes by the window, you can almost feel the stress disappear - the power of the water!

Response from the owner I don´t have a record of anyone of your name having stayed at the Boathouse. Your review is in complete contrast to the one from the week before and all the others before that. I don´t think the house could have deteriorated so quickly!
