What our customers say about their holidays
Rhona McMichael - Verified booking
Despite being very freshly painted outside, inside is a different matter. The cottage is damp, wallpaper coming off wall and ceiling in double bedroom, carpets threadbare, the 3-seater settee broken, the place was dirty and I had to start cleaning the kitchen before I could use it. The windows don’t look to have been cleaned for months inside or out & the amount of flies going about gives the game away. I left the cottage 2 days after I arrived with bites all up the back of my legs, the last straw. I advised Discover Scotland I was going to get stronger antihistamines and wouldn’t be returning but wanted to complain about the state of the place and was asked to send a detailed email & photos of my bitten legs to which I did weeks ago and they have been giving me one excuse after another since, the site managed was off last week & they needed to talk to them before they could progress my complaint, well we are now Wednesday the following week and again I’ve heard from no-one. I wouldn’t recommend shelduck cottage OR Discover Scotland, they were happy to take my money but have done nothing to help get me any of it back, £575 wasted on a filthy place that they say they check regularly? That furniture hasn’t been cleaned in years & there’s no padding left in the table seat cushions & they haven’t been painted in years either, absolutely disgusting, I left without taking photos of the property as by the time I’d been bitten I’d had enough & just wanted to get more antihistamines & go home. Entry was 4pm Sat and I left just after 9 on the Monday not having one walk as the Sunday rained heavily, the cottage was the only place I could have got the bites and Discover Scotland have avoided me since, terrible customer service, and now I also note all the recent reviews don’t have names, just ‘trusted customer’. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone

The cottage is in ideal spot for Nature enthusiasts and outdoor lovers. Lovely reserve to walk around plus bonus of beach. Garden is secure and our two wee dogs enjoyed running around. Watched a barn owl fly past most evenings so great bonus. House is comfortable but has a few issues that don't make much difference over a week but in reality do need sorting out. Hot water does come eventually if you leave tap running but takes eternity. Lack of tumble dryer is inconvenient as we had our share of rain and yes, it has a washer dryer but these invariably are useless. The shower had broken rail holder (top and bottom) and the headset is poor and the holder is also broken and the water flow is very poor which I suspect is because of the head as it is a Mira Sport shower that are normally a good shower. I noticed in a review that a previous guest had left (in the folder) that they said the windows need cleaning as visibility was poor but I tried that and the problem is within the double glazing so in reality the windows need replacing and finally the door latch is stiff and difficult to operate

Visited 21st - 28th September 2024. We loved our stay in Shelduck Cottage, having previously stayed in the cottage next door we knew what to expect but it was lovely to see the refurbishments to the property ie new bathroom and decoration throughout. The weather was kind so we could enjoy lots of time outdoors and great walks along the beach from both the reserve and local areas. Dumfries, Castle Douglas, Gatehouse of Fleet all within an easy drive. We visited Threave Castle and Gardens, the Camera Obscura and Dumfries Museum, visited the Ruthwell Cross an 8th centruy Anglo-Saxon cross, sat in the sunshine at Carsethorn and ate our picnic, bought beautiful fresh fish from Fleet Fish the mobile fish van. The kitchen was very well equipped a problem with the light was quickly sorted. We were warm, there was space for boots and coats. All in all a very comfortable stay.

Absolutely loved the cottage. If you want to stay on a nature reserve, then this is the cottage for you! Marsh harrier and yellowhammers viewed from the breakfast table! The reserve is great - a circular walk of a couple of miles probably, a couple of hides, stunning sunsets from the beach and lovely birds, even in summer. The cottage itself has everything you need and the bathroom has been recently updated. Our only warning is the fact that the access road to the RSPB reserve floods. We were made aware of this only with the key information after paying and didn't think it would affect us but it did and we were cut off for 24 hours. The wardens on site were great and we didn't mind one day but it was August so it would be worth checking if you were staying in winter. Definitely keep yourselves stocked up with food!

We had a great week's holiday with our Grandchildren - two boys aged 11 yrs and 9 yrs. They found it quite exciting when we were confined to the reserve when following a night of rain the access road flooded. The day was spent enjoying the many games and puzzles provided in the cottage as the rain continued to fall but the following day the weather was fine and sunny and so we were able to get outdoors and explore the reserve, playground and beach. The cottage is comfortable, warm and cosy with comfy beds and good facilities to cook and wash. The RSPB staff kept us well informed about the flood and made sure we were not lacking any essentials - milk, bread etc. A fun place to stay - thank you.
