Lovely cottage situated in a quiet location, with a good sized garden outside. Bigger inside than the photos. It had everything we needed. Our dogs also loved their stay. Lots of great beaches in easy travel distance. We will definitely recommend it to our friends and family.

Spent 2 days here to get away for peace and quiet. Cottage was fabulous, immaculate and soo much space. Had everything we needed, including complementary tray of goodies. The estate remote but seeing the wildlife was amazing, pheasants squirrels deer and a hare! Loved the log burner perfect for a cold night. Bed and bedding was great quality literally slept like a log. If you looking for peace and quite, short drives to explore the area eg Stranraer, Port Logan etc it’s the perfect location. We loved our stay.

We had a lovely stay here during our Christmas break. The cottage was very comfortable, cozy, and well equipped. Evenings by the fireplace were wonderful. The area is beautiful, quiet, and peaceful, we enjoyed watching the stars at night and spotting pheasants and squirrels during the day. The hosts were very helpful and welcoming. There are also many beautiful places by the sea nearby to explore. We would definitely recommend this place!

Only stayed for 2 nights but wish we had booked for a week. The cottage is fabulous with everything you need provided. The location is so peaceful and the place was much bigger than it looks in the photos. We will definitely be back

Wow! What a fantastic weekend. The cottage gave us the perfect place to explore the local area. We loved the peace and tranquility of the cottage. We've been lighthouse hunting, beach exploring and sunset chasing. The cottage is beautifully presented with everything you could need and Laura popped down to say 'Hello' and introduce herself. The attention to detail in the cottage could be seen in every room. One of the highlights of the weekend was the local wildlife. We regularly met deer and pheasants as we entered and exited the Estate but the standout moment surely has to be watching the little red squirrels playing freely on the Estate. What an absolute gem of a place, we have loved every minute of The Rhins of Galloway.
