Staying here was a real pleasure. Hilary and Gordon gave us a warm welcome ( with G & T) ; bedroom was well equipped and bed comfortable; breakfast was brilliant; parking outside the door. We could not have expected more.

Last minute booking for one night - room decor very tasteful with nice deep bath in en suite. Lovely location just a short walk to local resauraunts and harbour. Very helpful and friendly staff. Breakfast lovely with wide selection of fruits available in addition to full cooked breakfast including haggis and black pudding! Only disappointment was very creaky and uncomfortable bed.

On our arrival we were greeted as if old friends returning - no formality but genuine warmth. Shown round the beautifully appointed rooms in the house and then taken to our room which was superb with views over the rooftops to the hills beyond.
We were then invited to the lounge for afternoon tea and cake beside the cosy fire. It was indeed a most welcome after the journey.
Dinner was provided in the B&B, which is not common these days, and was superb and worth every penny of the £26. Since there is no licence to sell alcohol, we were encouraged to bring wine to have with the meal, if we so wished.
After a most comfortable sleep, breakfast was another culinary treat,with home-made bread on the menu. Nothing was a problem and we were again encouraged to ask for more.
In our alas to short a stay, it seemed to us that the couple run the B&B along the lines of welcoming and entertaining friends in their home.
This was our first stay at Gladstone House but hopefully it won't be our last.

Beautiful rooms and kind, welcoming hosts. A lovely retreat in the peaceful little town of Kirkcudbright, just a few minutes walk from the harbour and restaurants, and around the corner from the Tollbooth Arts Centre and nearby craft shops. Gordon's breakfasts are jovial and memorable affairs !
