Response from the owner
Dear Simon, I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at Kirkennan. I have to agree Kippford is a lovely place to visit. I enjoy sitting outside at the pub there and looking out over the Estuary. I am pleased to say that since your visit we have put new carpets in the downstairs bedrooms at The Lodge and now have wooden floors in the sitting and dining room. We are continually trying to improve!

Response from the owner
I am so glad you all enjoyed your holiday at Kirkennan. I agree there is so much to see and do in Dumfries & Galloway - we still have much to discover when we manage to tear ourselves away from enjoying Kirkennan. I hope you will visit again.
