Stayed for two weeks and as this is our seventh visit it was just as fantastic as our first. Sue provides a truly wonderful place to stay. It's a complete wind down with a view to absolutely die for. We will be going back as soon as we can, would not want to miss this wonderful location form my list of holiday places.

We enjoyed another wonderful and relaxing holiday at Ross Bay. The cottage was perfect for us and we never seem to run out of things to do in Galloway, from delicious fresh fish in Kirkcudbright, to coastal walks, sea swims and saunas and galleries and the local arts and crafts trail. Sue and David’s hospitality is second to none. We will be back.

Friendly host, fantastic location, lovely warm house. This is one of the most peaceful places I have ever stayed, away from the hustle and bustle of normal life. I would highly recommend.

Our stay at Creel Cottage was excellent. Having had a busy few months I needed a place to completely relax and Creel did not disappoint. Beautifully decorated throughout. Bedrooms cosy and quiet. Good kitchen. Great views of the beach from living room area and bistro unit. Delighted with several walks from Creel to nearby beaches. What a find! Thank you. We will be back

This is our 5th stay at Overdale Cottage and we had yet another fantastic holiday. It is the perfect place to stay while exploring the North Yorkshire coastline and Moors. The cottage itself is homely with everything you could need for a relaxing week away. The garden at the back of the property is dog safe and very long which is perfect for throwing balls etc for our 4 legged friends. Our two dogs love running up and down, sniffing and exploring Thankyou Sue for another lovely holiday
