What a fantastic cottage in a spectacular position, with amazing views of the Mull of Galloway and beyond our of every window. The Auld Dairy was spacious, light, airy and felt like home from the second we arrived. It was spotless and very well equipment, we wanted for nothing, and the welcome pack of fresh milk, tea, coffee, sugar, a bottle of wine and delicious homemade shortbread was a lovely surprise, thank you. We enjoyed the spectacular sunrises and watching the wildlife, especially the deer that wander across the surrounding fields. Port Logan fish pond is a must visit, as is the lighthouse and Port Patrick. The dark skies were amazing, I was out every night looking at the stars, planets and milky way - so glad we brought our telescope! There are things not mentioned in the property description that I'd like to add. There's also a microwave and air fryer, washing up liquid etc, plus cleaning equipment. It's all one level, with a ramp up to the spacious porch making it perfect for people with limited mobility, there's a grab handle on the wall by the bath, but both showers are a high ish step up, but once you're in there it's great as it's a really powerful shower with plenty of hot water. Jim came across to make sure we were okay, then not again until the day before we left. We had a really chilled out week and would love to come back sometime.
