  This was the most relaxing break my family and I have had in quite some time.

  The accommodation was wonderful, very clean with everything we could need to make our stay special. The hosts made us feel so welcome and even left a welcome pack which was very much appreciated. The location is literally a stones throw from the beach and you can see the sea whilst your relaxing from the house. The garden is beautiful with lots of seating in various parts so you can take advantage of the nice weather as the sun moves around (it is also great for dogs being fenced all the way around) There are many historical places to visit close by such as John Paul Jones birthplace and Sweetheart Abbey or even if you drive further out such as the lighthouse at Mull of Galloway or Port Patrick. On our last night we had a meal at the Steamboat Inn which is a 10 minute drive away, both the food and service were excellent. There is something for everyone here….we can highly recommend Sandpiper and hope to return again soon….

  Sandpiper is a lovely place to stay.

  We were warmly welcomed by the owner who lives close.On entering we found wine,fresh flowers & fruit ( very nice).The main bed was very comfortable,lush cotton bedding & furnishings throughout & the outside was the same high standard as the inside.Choice of several outdoor seating areas so always somewhere to sit in the sun or shade.all enclosed which was great for our little terrier Rosie.Super walks straight from the door and lots to do short car rides away.The views of the sea are stunning and you don't even need to leave the sofa to see them.We were lucky with the weather, but if the weather had been bad there are 3 tv's with Netflix,Amazon Prime and more.The Wi-Fi connection was also excellent.Even reading a book is a pleasure here at Sandpiper and we would certainly love to return in the future.many thanks to the owners for sharing this lovely place with us.

  Amazing week at sandpiper cottage, despite the stormy weather.

  Sandpiper was like a home from home. From the minute we arrived we felt relaxed and the welcome package was a lovely touch. We were a family of 2 adults, 1 teenager and 1 very well behaved cat, Oreo. The garden was amazing with lots of seating options. The cottage had everything you could need and was very clean and tidy. We all had our favourite spots in either the living room or the sun room. The local pubs and cafes were also very welcoming to all of us, including Oreo. We enjoyed evening beach walks and also visiting the lighthouse. Nearby dumfries was around 30 minutes away for a full shop but local shops in the village were good for basics such as milk etc. Thank you for such a lovely homely holiday experience and hopefully we left it in the same clean and tidy condition we found it in. Will definitely recommend to others.

  Mardan is a lovely cottage in a beautiful setting, close to the beach in Southerness.

  Ours was an autumn/winter stay (December) so Southerness was very quiet and peaceful, which we really liked. Mardan was well equipped, warm and cosy, and close to the beach, which was fantastic from a walking and wildlife perspective. Kate, the owner, was very helpful to us too; she gave us local holiday and nearest supermarket information and ensured we had plenty of wood for the lounge stove all week at no extra cost which was really nice of her. We found Dumfries and Galloway enjoyable too from the big and beautiful beach at Southerness to the villages and towns like Rockcliffe, Kippford and Kirkcudbright, which we found to be really enjoyable and within easy driving distance of Southerness. We have no hesitation in highly recommending Mardan and should we come to Southerness again we would definitely try to book.

  Kouloura is an absolutely wonderful cottage in a fantastic place.

  It is clean, comfortable and spacious. Sandy, the owner, is incredibly welcoming and is generous with his time and advice, giving us lots of information and suggestions about places to go and eat, which were a great help and ensured we got the most out of the location and our holiday. Kouloura is a fantastic base for everything the local area has to offer; the beaches (all so different), woods and hills provide fantastic days out for all the family. The pubs, arcade, shop and fish and chip shop so close by were brilliant and great on an evening. Even with these so close by, Kouloura has its own, enclosed large garden and is incredibly peaceful, just a couple of minutes walk from the beach. We had an amazing time time at Kouloura and didn’t want to leave. Our 3 boys have already asked if we can return.
