Loved our exhilarating winter break.
Loved our exhilarating winter break. The cottage was everything we could have wished for, warm and well equipped in a remote location overlooking the Irish Sea. Short drive to Portpatrick and Stranraer, and a great place to explore the Rhinns of Galloway.

I wanted somewhere quiet, cosy, woth great views and I was not disappointed. It was genuinely the perfect christmas for me, the wife and the pooch. It has shops driving distance but we didn't really need that. We just wanted somewhere we could relax, and go for walks. The host gave us a little christmas hamper and plenty was provided. I would wholeheartedly recommend this cottage to anyone. I have recommended to friends and family and will continue to do so.
