Take a stroll along the seafront and spend a few hours in Agnew Park which has a wide range of leisure facilities for all ages, including a boating lake, a play park for the younger kids, and an 18-hole putting green, or just enjoy a morning coffee in the café making the most of the views over Lochryan Bay. The town also offers a wide range of shops, pubs, and restaurants where you can dine out. This beautiful area of southwest Scotland is a delightful area and boasts rugged coastlines and secluded sandy beaches, which benefit from the warmth of the passing Gulf Stream, and is surrounded by breathtaking scenery. There are many beautiful gardens to explore, including the world-renowned Logan Botanical Gardens. Take a drive out to some of the many pretty little ports such as Sandhead and Portpatrick, or the rspb Scotland Mull of Galloway Nature Reserve, Scotland’s most southerly point, where thousands of sea birds nest in the cliff face during the spring and summer. Walking is a delight, whether clifftop, beaches, hills, or forests, and the Southern Upland Way passes close by. Perfect for cycling enthusiasts, the world-famous 7Stanes are within easy reach. If you prefer golf, there are many facilities nearby, and the county course is just a short drive away. Nearby Cairnryan is home to the Stena Line ferry, making a day trip to Ireland a great day out.

The property has everything we needed and expected. The property is designed to lookout over the Loch and this made the main bedroom peaceful. The other bedroom would have far noisier as this looks out onto the main road with many lorries and heavy goods vehicles on it. Good facilities in the house as described. Emma the owner was a good communicator and responsive

Lovely situation- stunning views. Well equipped cottage but could do with more hanging space in bedrooms especially if there were 4 people staying- was ok for us as there were only 2 of us.
