Guests consistently highlight the immaculate cleanliness, well-equipped kitchen, and secure, expansive garden—ideal for dogs and families. The peaceful rural setting offers a relaxing escape, with easy access to Stranraer and local attractions. The hot tub and log burner are much-appreciated bonuses. While a few minor maintenance issues with the hot tub and the absence of a tumble dryer are noted, the overwhelming sentiment is one of satisfaction and a desire to return.
Cleanliness is repeatedly described as excellent, with guests noting the property is spotless, immaculately clean, and very well kept. No significant negative comments were made regarding cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful, peaceful countryside setting and spectacular views, while still being conveniently close to Stranraer and local attractions. Some mention limited activities nearby, especially in the evenings, but this is generally seen as a positive for those seeking tranquillity.
Guests consistently mention the spaciousness, comfortable beds, and relaxing atmosphere. The house is described as warm, cosy, and perfect for unwinding, with special mention of the secure garden for dogs and family-friendly layout.
Facilities are highly rated, with a well-equipped kitchen, hot tub, log burner, and ample parking. Minor issues include occasional hot tub maintenance concerns and the lack of a tumble dryer, but these do not detract significantly from the overall experience.

Situated on the north west coast of the beautiful Rhins of Galloway peninsula, 3 miles from Stranraer, this stunning detached property, with a private hot tub, enjoys panoramic views over the rolling countryside and across Lochryan Bay. Ferries pass daily on the 90-minute crossing from Stranraer’s ferry port. Visit Dally Bay where seals and porpoises can be spotted. Walk down to the sea to the shore on Loch Ryan and around Wig Bay and The Scar – a circular walk along Loch Ryan shoreline and back into the village of Kirkcolm. The Scar, a sandbank which juts out into Loch Ryan, is home to one of the largest colonies of nesting migrant terns in the region. From a historical perspective, during the Second World War, Wig Bay was used as a base for the flying Catalina boats – evidence can be seen of this on a walk along the bay.
