Situated on the north west coast of the beautiful Rhins of Galloway peninsula, 3 miles from Stranraer, this stunning detached property, with a private hot tub, enjoys panoramic views over the rolling countryside and across Lochryan Bay. 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. The Scar, a sandbank which juts out into Loch Ryan, is home to one of the largest colonies of nesting migrant terns in the region. From a historical perspective, during the Second World War, Wig Bay was used as a base for the flying Catalina boats – evidence can be seen of this on a walk along the bay.

A lovely home from home with everything one would need to have comfortable and relaxing holiday. Wonderful views to Loch Ryan and beyond. Waking up to bird song, particularly the Song Thrush was wonderful with various birds and rabbits coming and going.Worth a visit.

This is a beautiful house, spacious and well equipped. Everything has been thought of for you. Parking is easy, right beside the house. It is warm and comfortable, with excellent beds. There are views out across Loch Ryan to the ferry port on the other side, and you can watch the ferries come and go. The house is in the countryside, but only 10 minutes drive to Stranraer, with all its shopping facilities. Lots of walks, and plenty to see and do in the area.
