A lovely isolated and well equipped property, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. No phone signal unless you climb the hill to the left of the cottage.

Beautiful cottage far from the madding crowd... just cows and sheep passing by. Access via cart track so good car suspension needed but once you're there it's perfect.

An excellent property in a beautiful setting, with stunning walks surrounding the property. Having no wifi and limited phone was a blessing, but manageable. This home is the perfect place to get away from it all and enjoy family time, surrounded by the peace and quiet of the country.

Lovely setting with good views from decking which were better than expected as description doesn't do them justice. Walk to coastal path was short and easy and not sufficiently promoted. Cosy cottage with plenty of space and nice stove. A great place to get away from it all. However, it does need some redecoration and a good clean.

The cottage is situated in lovely, scenic countryside overlooking the coastline and surrounding cliffs. We absolutely loved our stay and it helped us switch off and relax completely. The cottage has great ameneties, plenty of books and games to keep you going! We had no Wi-Fi or phone signal the whole time we stayed which helped us completely switcRead moreh off. We enjoyed walks around the area and there are some nice places like Wigtown, and Port William not far away. Steam Packet Inn does amazing food Hide
