Ferries pass daily on the 90-minute crossing from Stranraer’s ferry port. Visit Dally Bay where seals and porpoises can be spotted. Walk down to the sea to the shore on Loch Ryan and around Wig Bay and The Scar – a circular walk along Loch Ryan shoreline and back into the village of Kirkcolm.

This was the best cottage we have stayed in, we travelled with our two dogs who loved our daily walk on the beach. It was very tranquil and we will definitely visit again
