The cottage is nestled down beside an old bridge over the Dee and has a lovely garden that overlooks the river. The hosts ensure you a warm welcome and tea and scones were offered on arrival. Breakfast is definitely 5 star and is served in the warm conservatory overlooking the garden. There are lovely walks by the river and you can go to Kirkcudbright or Castle Douglas for a pleasant evening meal. Both locations are within a 20min drive.

Nothing at all, it was a beautiful spot on the river. The garden was a delight. You have to stay here, you will love it. Esther and Ian great hosts with loads of knowledge about the area and sights to see.

Locality, river, hosts Esther and Ian are delightful , the breakfast was exceptional. Esther is a grand cook, goes above and beyond and nothing is to much trouble. Slept soundly in a comfortable bed. Definitely stay again. Everything about it was perfect.

I loved everything about my stay and enjoyed staying at The Haven.

I was made to feel so welcome by the lovely hosts Esther and Iain and they were so accommodating. The room was clean abd very comfortable and the use of the conservatory and the garden was also a lovely addition. Unfortunately the weather meant I could not fully take advantageof their beautiful garden and river views but the outside seating area looked fantastic. I enjoyed my two night stay and hope to return for a break with my husband to enjoy the area further. The breakfast was so delicious and I loved the home from home touches that were so special. Thank you so much to Esther abd Ian for an amazing time.

There is absolutely nothing we didn't like.

Esther and Ian were perfect hosts. They made us so welcome in their home. We enjoyed chatting with them and hearing about their very interesting lives. Esther served delicious homemade pancakes with strawberry jam and cream on arrival.Such a lively treat. Breakfasts were a joy to behold, the fruit platters were amazing. She definitely went above and beyond.

The room is a little on the small side, but the bed is confortable and the room is quiet.

A great location by the river. A bonus is being able to sit in the wonderful garden by the river or in a large gazebo. There is also a sitting room for use by guests. The breakfasts are wonderful, cooked to order and with mixed fresh fruit and yoghurt.

I doubt I could find fault with the Haven if I tried. Right from our arrival Esther and Iain were very welcoming and put us at ease straightaway. Breakfast was amazing with a fresh, exotic, fruit salad to start followed by a huge choice of cooked items. Esther's coffee was superb too! Iain was a wealth of information regarding local excursions around Dumfries and Galloway and Esther was always happy to have a chat - her anecdotes about growing up in South Africa would make a best seller. We'll almost certainly be booking again.

Was like staying at a friend's house which I suppose it was in some ways. The breakfast was well presented and could be customised to your requirements. The room was spacious for a B&B with a large en-suite shower. The location is very picturesque beside the River Dee ideal for bird spotting and only a few miles from Castle Douglas. Recommended.

Esther and Ian are wonderful host's great room and great breakfast and an amazing garden and outdoor space. We loved our stay.

Hardly anything but more hooks for towels would have been helpful if room could be found

Very friendly and helpful hosts in a beautiful location next to the River Dee. The breakfasts were excellent. The position of this B&B so close to the A75 is perfect for traveling to various places of interest.
