Absolutely loved this cottage/house. This lovely home had everything. So modern clean. The views are just spectacular, we took so many photos . Thank you Emma for the starter pack , milk shortbread biscuits etc. Moria next door is a legend , so lovely as are the locals in Stranraer . Made us Mancunians very welcome. We utilised the washer/dryer 👍 I loved the bath with relaxing lights We use the 367 bus to go to Port Patrick . Cliff walk is a must. We also went to Ayr by train for a lovely town/beach walk and which was much bigger than expected. Would love to return asap .

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
