    Breakfast was absolute fantastic! A plate with fruits and yoghurt to start with each. Then cooked breakfast to your wishes. And on top of that delicious homemade cupcakes! The bed was big, clean and super comfy. The shower hot and good. The use of the sunroom as extra space is just a super bonus.

    Absolutly nothing!

    The location was so tranquil and ideal for what we were looking for , Esther and Iain were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for you , the room was spacious and clean & en-suite with power shower was great , the bed was very comfortable, the breakfast in the conservatory over looking the beautiful garden was excellent the choice of food was great, you wouldn’t go hungry, would highly recommend The Haven if your looking for something special and peaceful.

    Breakfast was exceptional and served in the lovely conservatory with view of the wonderful garden which we were able to relax in, as well as the gazebo with views of the river. Our room was lovely, the bed was one of the most comfortable we have ever slept in, we had an ensuite with a walk in shower and shower gel, shampoo etc were provided. The room, had a small fridge, kettle and excellent hospitality tray. Our hosts were so welcoming and kind they felt more like friends with a beautiful home. Could not recommend highly enough.

    Nothing we didn't like

    Property response:

    Dear Hazel, Thank you for the lovely review, it was wonderful having you both. Haste ye back! Much love, Esther

    The Haven B&B was wonderful on many counts. Set in a peaceful and tranquil location by the River Dee but within a 5 minute drive from Castle Douglas, we found the hosts, Esther and Iain, to be very welcoming. It felt very homely and it was a delight to wander around their their beautiful garden before breakfast watching the birds. Breakfast was magnificent, as other guests have said, the courses just kept on coming and it was good that we had some long walks planned to work it all off!. The room size, en-suite bathroom were fine, lots of towels, tea / coffee making facilities etc. The highlight of the stay though was seeing a badger when we went for an evening stroll in the nearby woodland. Otters and red squirrels have also been sighted in the area but alas, not for us this time! Maybe next?

    It was difficult to fault the Haven B&B. Perhaps a bottle of shampoo for the shower? But really it was just like a home from home. Castle Douglas, the nearest town, was a bit of a disappointment. Billed as "Scotland's Food Town", we were hoping for a good range of eateries and menu choices. In the end, we found ourselves eating at just one, the "Olive Retreat" (Mediterranean, with quite a varied menu and a large range of gluten and dairy free choices). Having said that there a few pubs and hotels in the area serving typical fare.

    Beautiful house and garden. Very comfortable bed and Esther catered for our every need. Breakfast was delicious.

    The only problem was the steps down to the entrance, as my husband has mobility problems. He managed though.

    We were visiting family in Dalbeattie and we found this lovely B&B by the river near the bridge of Dee, close to Castle Douglas. The hosts were very welcoming and made our stay very comfortable. Breakfasts were excellent served in the conservatory overlooking the lovely garden and the river. The large bed was very comfortable. Altogether our stay was very relaxing.

    nothing.

    Fantastic breakfast. Lovely, quiet location but not far to drive into Castle Douglas or Kirkcudbright for shops, pubs and restaurants.

    Not sure really.
