Ideal touring base for a traditional seaside holiday (pets welcome!). Situated in the Rhins of Galloway in the coastal village of Drummore, Scotland’s most southerly point, these holiday cottages stand on the shore of Luce Bay with its sand and shingle beaches just across the road. The well-equipped cottages offer stunning views across the expanse of Luce Bay with its white tipped waves and sea birds, beautiful in the summer, but equally spectacular for wave watching in winter. The area is unspoilt, the scenery idyllic, and the seascapes around the Rhins as dramatic as they are beautiful. Attractions include fishing, golf courses and the rspb Scotland Mull of Galloway Nature Reserve where thousands of seabirds nest in the cliff face during the spring and summer. Harbour porpoises, dolphins, seals and otters can all be seen in the area. Logan Botanical Gardens are a must during spring and summer with its beautiful displays of rare and native plants, as are the gardens at Castle Kennedy and Ardwell House. 5 miles north of Stranraer is Cairnryan, home to the Stena Line and P&O ferries which make regular trips to Ireland. A local, well stocked convenience store, café/seafood restaurant and 3 pubs are all within easy walking distance.

Cosy cottage in great spot looking out to the bay. Generous coal, etc left for first couple of fires. Very comfy furniture but a bit skimpy on the small things. A throw in living room would be welcome. No milk jug so had to pour from 4pt plastic bottle each time. Pan scrubber well worn and useless. One t towel for the week. One jeye cloth for all bathroom, basin and toilet. Glass basin put on wrong way round, so the front was higher. I had to stand on tip toes when cleaning teeth. The tap and tap nozzle had limescale which made them look unclean. Had to bring small table from nest into bathroom as nowhere to put clothes, make up etc. The heating temp was about right for us but had it not been, I'd have felt reluctant to contact the owner to change it. We actually had a lovely stay but because of these small, easily fixed criticisms, I could not give full marks.
