Chipperkyle

We booked a two night stay to return our mother to reminisce about her childhood holidays to Kippford. Willie’s beautiful house and warm hospitality made our stay relaxing and it felt just like being in a dear friend’s home. The bedrooms were homely and the beds were so comfy, lovely pillows and linens. Breakfasts were great, the toast and tattle scones were delicious. Willie couldn’t have done more to help us make this a memorable stay.

We have just spent 3 nights at Willie’s delightful house in a large double room with an equally large ensuite bath/shower room. The views are superb and we spent many happy hours reading in the very comfortable chairs in our room while storm Floris did its worst outside! The kingsize bed is extremely comfortable with top quality bed linen. The bath towels are full size bath sheets (none of your mean little towels in this establishment!) and the shower is good. Breakfast is simple but very good and the local bread used for toast is some of the best we’ve ever tasted.

We have used Alistair Sawdays Special Places to stay for many. In England and Europe. We have recently returned from a charming three days in a lovely country house surrounded by the most beautiful countryside. Chipperkyle in Castle Douglas, owned by an equally charming Willie. He has created an atmosphere of conviviality, attending to your needs as required. Your rooms are so spacious with plenty of seating and also the use of the sitting room. The peace is idyllic. We chose to have an evening meal and it came with casual elegance. We would certainly return. Thank you very much Willie.

Have just spent four nights at Chipperkyle. It is a truly wonderful place serene, beautiful, comfortable and charming. Willie our host cooked the most delicious breakfasts and evening meals. We felt very well looked after and cared for. A super stay where you can fully recharge your batteries and relax. We will certainly return and I am advising friends to visit and enjoy.
