Comfortable bedroom, it can be very noisy if you want an early night as it's just over a pub. We didn't get too bothered by that as we went to bed late.
They had gluten free toast and adapted the breakfast to suit me.

Exactly what I paid for 1st night, spoke to the owner who is a character to say the very least. Ended up booking bigger room for the rest of my stay with more people, Peter really does go above and beyond to make sure your stay is what you need. Highly recommended!!
Bring your own shampoo as the complimentary wasn't to my liking, but I am fussy.

Good breakfast, friendly and attentive staff. Cozy dining hall with a fireplace. Quiet unlike the rest of the hotels in Castle Douglas with their loud pubs.

The setting of the cabin was very nice, very rural and tranquil, with nice views (if weather had been clear).
Nearby towns very grim although rural route to Castle Douglas was very picturesque in the snow, if a bit dicey. Visited Kirkcudbright on Sunday which was much more pleasant but literally nothing was open. All shops and eating places appeared to be open only Monday to Saturday.
Ate at the Steamboat Inn at Carsethorn on Saturday evening, service was very friendly, food was ok but pricey for the quality, chef refused to cook steak well done which was extremely pretentious for a pub, and meant I didn't enjoy my meal. The room we were seated in was cold and lacked atmosphere, beer selection was very average.
There are no shops nearby so best to take provisions with you.
Overall our options were limited due to snow which is just bad luck, and we would have had lots more outdoor things to do if it had been clearer weather, such as walks on the beach to Southerness, but on balance would be unlikely to visit the area again given the better alternatives closer to home.

There is not very much to Kirkbean, but nearby New Abbey and Carsethorn are lovely. There is a fantastic place to eat in Carsethorn - the Steamboat Inn.
We visited most of the small towns locally, and absolutely loved Castle Douglas with all its gallery shops and places to eat.
Despite loving Simmer Dim, on our next visit we would stay further to the west.
