New in 2021, 1 minute walk from main amenities.
Everything was perfect and as described..location was ideal and right next to the complex with space for two cars which was great. The facilities in the bungalow were great and having two toilets was worth it. There was an issue with trying to get hot water in the shower where David was rapid in his response, the water did still go cold every now and again but nothing major. Great stay, great communication and will 100% be back for sure. 5 stars all round ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Curlew Cottage-Gorgeous 2BR-OUTSTANDING LOCATION
We had a lovely stay in Curlew Cottage.The nearness of the beach was excellent for dog walking and sketching.Our hosts were friendly and informative and we would thoroughly recommend the local cation.

Honeysuckle Cottage On The Beach
What a great stay. The house was beautiful and right in the beach and by the park. As a family of 5 and a dog Chad made sure we looked after and we felt very welcome. Everything was clean and tidy and made to feel like our own. We all loved it

Flat in Maidens with Seaview
Had another very comfortable stay, home from home, with fantastic views of the Ayrshire coastline. David and Una being superb hosts throughout my stays here. Can highly recommend

Beach, Period 3 Bed Cottage with Great Kitchen
Lovely stay at Powfoot over Christmas. Carolyn had very kindly put up lights and a Christmas tree for us which was extra special - thank you. Excellent instructions and detailed information about the house and the surrounding area. Also to highlight to take care on the mud flats when the tide is coming in. We enjoyed visits to Mabie Forest, Drumlanrig and Caerlaverock castles all recommended even on an atmospheric (wet!) December day!

Carrick Shore's hidden gem (The Vital Spark)
We’ve found our happy place ! Location exceeded our expectations, the beach view and the short stroll down to it was blissful and the birds in the garden were unbelievable- so many , all day everyday! We had absolutely everything we could possibly need in the accommodation. We walked everyday and only left the area once to visit the red kite feeding station at Bellymack hill farm - what a joy that was. Even when it rained it was still bliss to be in a lovely warm environment watching the wind and the waves! Although there are other properties around it literally feels like you are alone- we will definitely be back in the spring/summer - I’m longing to swim in the bay!

Lavagulin 3
Fantastic place to stay in and as a base to explore the Galloway peninsula. Recommend the steep but short walk to the local beach, which is great for beach combing at low tide. Property was well appointed and very clean. Ian is a great host, and communicated really well. Farm is tucked away, but Google Maps took us right to our cabin and Ian also sent clear instructions on how to get there (Thanks).

Lindaglassart's Studio at Woodholm
Loved, loved, loved staying in this beautiful studio with the the beach at the end of the garden. Views were amazing and the accommodation has everything you need and more. Only downside is you have to leave. Highly recommend and will be back for sure. Linda and Paul are wonderful ❤️

Ayrshire Holiday Home, Southwest Scotland
We had a lovely stay. The view is incredible and we enjoyed the star gazing at night. Great location to explore Ayrshire.The caravan could do with some tlc but it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Jonathan was a great host and communicated really well. The big enclosed decking was great for the kids and dogs.

CRAIG TARA - 3 bedroom Deluxe Family Caravan, Ayr
We had a lovely stay at Gillian’s caravan , it had everything we needed and the communication with Gillian was great .

Luxury caravan with sea views
We had a fantastic stay at Sean’s and Kelly’s place . The place was immaculate and beautifully decorated. . Communication was seamless; Sean and Kelly were always prompt and helpful. We truly appreciated the thoughtful amenities, which made our stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a coastal getaway far from the hustle bustle of a city life ! I would definitely book again.

2 bed/4 berth caravan. Minimum 2 nights stay.
Had a fabulous two night stay at this lovely caravan. Checking in was seemless & easy with great communication from the host Michelle. Everything was extremely neat and tidy and we felt right at home. The caravan is in such a great location only a few minutes from Stranraer town centre. Michelle had sent plenty of recommendations for me and my two small kids to be getting upto! We are looking forward to staying again in the future for longer ☺️ Thanks Michelle!

Pet friendly 3 Bed Static on Parkdean Resort
Spotless, beautifully decorated, smelt so clean and fresh on arrival. Lovely touches like toiletries, tea, coffee, hand wash etc. like a hotel but in a caravan. Beautiful surroundings. Had a BBQ on the beach. Tried the entertainment, arcade, restaurant and all very good. We, as a family of 4, had the very best time. Would highly recommend, Matt was on the end of the phone and everything was made super easy. Will definitely be returning and would suggest to anyone that this is absolutely perfect for a family holiday that you can do as much or as little as you want and matt’s caravan ticked every box. Cannot recommend highly enough. Loved it. Thank you

Beautiful luxurious holiday home with sea view
I cannot recommend Gillian’s beautiful home highly enough, my partner and I booked it as a very last minute trip for new year with our two kids and it was just brilliant. Even in the typical Scottish weather the views were lovely and when the sun was shining it was stunning. The home has everything in it that you could possibly need and is so cosy and beautifully decorated. The beds were so comfortable and there was plenty of storage. The kitchen was really well equipped and was spacious enough to cook as well as being a social area. We decided to book again as soon as we’d arrived! Thank you Gillian x

Lovely holiday home with sea views and games room.
Lovely, cosy, warm accommodation in a perfect spot by the harbour. Kitchen well equipped, no microwave but wasn’t a problem for us. We stayed over New Year and experienced both a storm and a lovely sunny day. The Steam Packet Inn a few doors down was friendly and welcomes dogs which was great. We had an amazing meal on New Years Day and would highly recommend the Cullen Skink and beer bread. The double bed was extremely comfy and lovely soft bed linen made for a good nights sleep.

The Sea Cubby, Private Holiday Lodge, Portling.
Fantastic stay at the sea cubby! A perfect place to recharge and relax, with amazing views, wildlife and lovely accommodation. It was a perfect size for us. Additionally, the cubby has been kitted out with helpful items that you need whilst away - tea, coffee, lovely linen and plenty of great local recommendations which we tried out. The place was super cosy as well considering the coastal location. Would love to come back.

Auld Schoolhouse
Sandhead beach is an amazing location, beautiful views from the house. We loved walking the miles of sandy beach, usually no one in sight! We would not hesitate to come back. The house was lovely, well kept and with everything you needed. It was comfortable and so peaceful. We loved the pub along the road and a drive out to Portpatrick.

Airds Bay Luxury Beach House
Our experience at this property in Scotland was wonderful from start to finish. The booking process was straightforward, and our reservation was confirmed almost immediately, making everything effortless. Arriving at the property, however, turned into quite an adventure. We arrived in the evening amid heavy rain, with visibility low, and had to navigate a few remaining potholes along the way (though most had been filled in). Thankfully, we managed to find the key safe, unload our luggage, and settle in for the night. The next morning was a completely different scene. We woke up to clear skies and stunning views across the bay from both the bedroom and the lounge—it was breathtaking. Our first instinct was to get dressed and head straight to the beach for a morning walk, which was the perfect way to start the day. Inside, the house is beautifully decorated and immaculately clean, with attention to detail everywhere. Premium shower gels were stocked in the bathrooms—a thoughtful touch

High Lodge, Galloway House Estate
This is the first time I stayed here and I can’t wait to return. The views are breathtaking in all weather and you’re in a private and peaceful off grid space. The lodge has been sympathetically renovated / decorated and the aga and woodburner are amazing - it’s very in keeping with the area and has rustic charm. We felt immediately at home. It is described accurately and yes the single foot steps to the bedroom are steep - you just have to be careful and turn a light on if you’re going up and down in the dark and do it barefoot - like a ladder but with flat steps. If you want a fuller bath, get the kettle boiled and some pans and away you go - something charming about that! The beach is 5 mins walk and went in the freezing sea morning and night and it’s pretty much secluded. The deer roamed regularly and we feel utterly transformed and relaxed - we already miss the whistling kettle. Loads of books too and a fab window seat in the lounge - we used the outdoor cushions for comfort

The Thrums
We spent a family Easter in this lovely house. Great spot, comfortable for a family with young children, beautiful area with lots to do nearby. The house is well appointed and cosy. It’s quiet and has a lovely garden with birdfeeder and lots of chairs in sunny spots. Highly recommend!

Secluded sea side house, direct access to beach.
Idyllic cottage in beautiful surroundings. Everything we needed was provided. There was great attention to detail in the cottage. Host responded when we called and was very helpful. Private garden & beach area was perfect for the kids.
