Seascape Cottage, Kirkcolm, Stranraer, Sleeps 4

Pets Welcome - Wifi - Pets Welcome

Seascape Cottage is situated in a beautiful and remote coastal location just a short walk from Dally Bay. The detached property is tastefully furnished, and enjoys views across to Ireland and the mountains of Mourne. This location is perfect for a relaxing holiday with small rocky sandy beaches within a short walk, making Seascape Cottage ideal for the pet owner.

The accommodation at the property is all on the one level, and consists of an open plan sitting room, dining area and kitchen, a master bedroom with a king size bed, a twin bedroom, and a shower room. Beautiful oak flooring is laid throughout and the bathroom benefits from a tiled floor complete with under floor heating. The living room and the main bedroom are located at the front of the property and enjoy exceptional coastline views. Outside guests will find garden furniture and private parking. The owners live in a neighbouring cottage and are on hand to help if required.

Stranraer is just nine miles away and offers a good range of facilities for the visitor including shops, restaurants, a supermarket and a Tourist information Centre. Further afield the romantic village of Portpatrick is well worth a visit, with its pretty harbour area, hotels, bar and restaurants including the highly rated Campbell's Fish Restaurant which serves the local catch.

The Rhins of Galloway is stunning. No matter where you go the coastline is not far away, at the southern tip the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse and Vistor Centre are well worth a visit and an ideal choice for a day out. The area is a haven for wildlife and there are many gardens to visit including Logan Botanic Garden and Ardwell Gardens A short drive will take you to Aldouran wetland garden and ancient woodland of Aldouran Glen, at Leswalt. A few minutes further is the Wig, situated on the shores of Loch Ryan at Kirkcolm, where there is a circular walk and bird watching area.

There are numerous quirky ancient and historical sites, while the area offers ample roads and tracks for cyclists and runners. Visiting golfers are welcome at stunning coastal courses in both Stranraer and Portpatrick. Further afield is Galloway Forest Park with its celebrated Dark Sky Park Observatory for stargazers of all ages. And with Wigtown’s numerous bookshops and Kirkudbright’s arts and crafts shops and studios, surely this location offers something for everyone.

The immediate area surrounding the cottage is rich in wildlife, such as deer, seals, stoats and weasels and a small herd of wild goats. Diving gannets are an experience never forgotten, seals float for hours in the bay, and eider ducks gather in the spring and summer. If you get lucky, you may even spot otters, or at Corsewall Lighthouse, a few minutes drive away, basking sharks and porpoise.

Buzzards and kestrels, among other birds of prey, give aerial displays or hover motionless outside the cottage. Murmerations of starlings are common too. Early morning walks will almost certainly be rewarded by close encounters with deer and hares, or the elusive wild goats. Wild flowers are in abundance, from carpets of Spring squill and bluebells, to yellow iris and various orchids.

Seascape Cottage looks forward to welcoming you warmly, whatever the west coast weather has in store!

We spent a wonderful week in Seascape Cottage. It was very cosy, comfortable, clean and felt like home as soon as we walked in. This is the perfect place to get away from it all. The scenery is stunning, looking out to the sea from the front door is a privilege. It's also a good base to explore the coast or go further a field. Sarah was very friendly & welcoming. Can't wait to come back next year.

Just had our 4th time at Seascape Cottage, it is a wonderful place for peace and quiet with amazing views and a very comfortable cosy home. We cannot recommend this place highly enough. Sarah is a great host and thinks of everything you could need. Booked up again for next spring already.

Couldn't have asked for more , a perfect cottage for us and our 2 dogs . The most amazing setting the bay is a 5 min walk and basically was ours for the week with fields all around complete peace and quiet . The cottage had everything we needed, welcome basket appreciated, and even the dogs are thought of with covers to protect the chairs , towels, toys, etc . We really loved every day and can not fault the cottage , loved the area especially the daily forest walks available . Hope to return again , going to miss that view . Thank you

This is a lovely cottage - light, clean and warm - with a stunning view of the sea. It's a short walk down a farm track to the bay and inlets either side, and the footpath goes both ways along the coast from here. It's quiet, and dark enough at night to see the Milky Way (with a clear sky, of course!). Communication with Wilderness Cottages and the owner was excellent. Thank you.

What a wonderful cottage with a fantastic view to the sea. Walks nearby are in the middle of the nature and a quite recovery is possible. And the owner are perfect hosts.

Lovely secluded cottage, great views across to Ireland and several sandy beaches a couple of minutes from the front door. On the Rhins of Galloway route with a variety of opportunities to walk along the coast for miles. Very well equipped, super clean and cosy. Second visit and looking forward to being back next year.
