About this property
Little Ireland is a charming, duplex apartment nestled at the heart of Stranraer, a historic port town gazing out upon beautiful Loch Ryan in Dumfries and Galloway. Set over the first and second floors of a townhouse, Little Ireland offers well-presented living spaces, and a superb location just a stone's throw from the closest shops and pubs, making an idyllic base for families, friends, or even couples who are looking to book a relaxing, self-catered stay in Scotland. Park up roadside out front of your new home-from-home, taking a moment to soak in your new setting. Enter the property, hanging up your outerwear in the downstairs hallway before ascending to the first floor, where you'll discover a tastefully-appointed, open-plan living space comprising a fully-equipped kitchen, a dining area with ample seating, and an inviting sitting space complete with two sofas and a sleek Smart TV. As day rolls into night and you start to feel sleepy, be sure to refresh with a revitalising shower before you finally catch your valuable rest in one of the home's decadent bedrooms, including a master double and two further doubles/zip'n link twins, each with a Smart TV. When you're ready, set out on foot to explore everything Stranraer and the surrounding areas have to offer. Take a short stroll out into Stranraer to load up on homely essentials at the nearby Lidl or Tesco Superstore, grab an artisanal coffee from Dnisi coffee roasters, before you tuck into a spot of lunch at The Royal Cafe or Fig & Olive. Treat you and your loved ones to a drink at The Arkhouse Inn on your way to visiting the noteworthy landmarks and attractions of Agnew Park, the Castle of St. John, and the Gardens Of Friendship. Venture further afield by car to stop by the must-see sites of the brilliant Logan Botanic Garden, the stunning Castle Kennedy Gardens, and the awe-striking Glenluce Abbey, whilst a full day of fun and activity can be spent traversing the many trails and mountain ranges housed within the magnificent Galloway Forest Park. All of this and more is yours to enjoy when you book Little Ireland
Stranraer, which became a Burgh of Barony in 1596 and a Royal Burgh in 1617, lies on the shores of Loch Ryan on the northern side of the isthmus joining the Rhins of Galloway to the mainland. There are many shops and cafes to while away an hour or two and the Stranraer Town Trail explains some of the fascinating history. For walkers, the Southern Upland Way touches Stranraer on its way through the Galloway Hills, having begun in Portpatrick, 7 miles to the west. Three nearby gardens are open to the public and well worth a visit at Castle Kennedy, Glenwhan and Logan. Stranraer has several beaches, however it is worth travelling to Sandhead and New England Bay for wonderful sandy beaches. A short drive south and you come to the Mull of Galloway, Scotland’s southernmost point. The lighthouse on the headland looks over some of the last remaining sections of natural coastal habitat on the Galloway coast and an rspb nature reserve has been set up to retain this spectacular and diverse area.
