Snaptrip says
Airie Farmhouse in Castle Douglas is repeatedly praised for its tranquillity, spaciousness, and beautiful surroundings. Guests appreciate the property's seclusion, wildlife, and walking opportunities right from the doorstep. The farmhouse is well-equipped, with a particularly noted new bathroom, and offers a comfortable stay for both small and large groups, although a mention of an additional shower room for larger parties suggests room for improvement. The access road's condition is a minor concern for some visitors.
Guests that stayed at this property said
There are no specific comments regarding the cleanliness of the property, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
The location is consistently lauded for its peace, quiet, and access to nature, with stunning views and wildlife. The only drawback mentioned is the access road, which may be challenging for cars with low suspension.
The farmhouse is described as comfortable and well-equipped, suitable for both small and large groups. However, one guest found the bed too soft, indicating that comfort levels might vary.
Facilities are generally praised, including a well-equipped kitchen and Wi-Fi for children. The new bathroom is a highlight, though a suggestion for an additional shower room implies that there is room for improvement.
There are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness, so this category cannot be scored.
