Taigh Beag was a lovely cottage, very nicely completed. We loved the big settee in the back room which was very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. The bed was very comfortable in the main bedroom with a nice big wardrobe and plenty of hangers. There is a lovely garden which is all enclosed so the dog could have a play. The whole house was very warm and only a 15 minute walk into the centre of Stranraer. We had a great stay an excellent base to explore the area.
