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!

If you want a beach literally right in front of you, stay here! Watch the sun drop into the sea and just chill out. Perfect, wildlife stunning. Very comfortable indeed.
Lovely cottage, great attention to detail, welcome pack that was the best we have ever had. Excellent location although need good suspension for road down to cottage. Owners who live behind are on hand if you need anything . Only criticism was we found the bed uncomfortable and a curtain or privacy film on front door as bathroom directly opposite.
Seascape Cottage had everything we wished for and more for a getaway from it all break.
Welcomed on arrival by the owner we immediately felt at home and eager to explore the stunning coastline and wildlife from our doorstep.
Our home for the week had everything you could need with all the mod cons and comforts, kitted out with thought and taste. Including a wonderful hamper and eggs from our hosts own hens, a lovey treat!
The heating and water system is very efficient ensuring total comfort day and night, we were blessed with some beautiful weather but I have no doubt Seascape would be the perfect retreat after a day exploring on colder days.
I would also recommend Seascape to anyone who is less mobile, my partner has some mobility issues and had no problems at all, no steps to the property or shower.
We felt so privileged to be able to spend time in this little haven, I'd recommend to anyone seeking peace and tranquility.
We had a lovely relaxing week at Seascape cottage. If you want to escape the crowds this place is perfect. It is about a two minute walk to the coast and three sandy bays which our two dogs loved. You also have the coastal path if you wish to venture further,with an abundance of wildlife.The cottage is a good size and well equipped with everything you need. The owners were very helpful and friendly but not at all intrusive. We must mention the welcome hamper which was probably the best one we have ever had in a holiday cottage. Thank you both.
Superb cottage in a great location, very welcoming and everything catered for. First visit here, can highly recommend. The welcome pack was amazing as were the fresh eggs throughout our stay. A great spot to get away from it all and watch the wildlife and ships at sea. First time here but we will be back.
Lovely, comfortable, well equipped cottage in fabulous position. Had a wonderful week in this remote, beautiful location and would highly recommend for a peaceful stay. Surrounded by a wide variety of birds, wildlife and masses of spring flowers.
5th time staying in this lovely cottage and it never fails to satisfy us
The hosts are delightful and always available to help if needed
The location is enchanting ,with views to match anything the best Mediterranean enclaves have to offer
We had an amazing stay at Seascape....it's a piece of heaven.
Tranquil, beautiful scenery and right on the cove. There is plenty to see and visit in the area and the owners go above and beyond expectation! Highly recommended recommended
Wow, what a stunning location in a peaceful, rural part of Scotland. Close to the coastal path but quiet and undisturbed with loads of wildlife to see. Easy access to several lovely little beaches. The cottage is beautiful - clean, modern, warm, well-equipped. Everything you could need is there and the owner couldn't be more helpful. Dogs are very well catered for with spare dog bowls and towels provided and they can run off lead down to the seashore, which ours loved! Sarah is the "Queen of the Welcome Pack", very generous and thoughtfully provided and we enjoyed lovely fresh eggs from her hens - a real bonus. We were lucky with the weather, had a super time and hope to go back.
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.
We had a great week in Seascape Cottage. Loved the seascape which changed from hour to hour. The cottage is very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The Rhins of Galloway are unspoilt and quiet. Like Cornwall 50 yrs ago. Thank you to Sarah for the lovely welcome pack and for being a great hostess.
Thoroughly recommend if you want peace and tranquility. We didn't want to go anywhere else it was so, so restful and just what we needed. So collected food from Morrisons and we ate in!
Made properly welcome by Sarah, even our 2 boisterous dogs. There's no garden so have to accompany dogs at all times as access to farm further up the lane. However, the track opposite, the coves and surrounding areas are fantastic for them and nobody else there! It really is a 2 min walk. The pictures make it look further.
Cottage was comfortable, light and airy and well equipped. It's small and yet we managed to relax with 3 of us, the dogs and very mixed weather!
Bumpy lane was no problem for us as we're used to the Shropshire roads!
Only thing I could think was needed, by us, was mirrors in the bedrooms. Otherwise plenty of storage. The cottage is very well thought out. Thank you so much Sarah for making it so enjoyable.
Firstly, the correspondence with Wilderness Cottages has been excellent as always.
We couldn't book our usual cottage, so we went with Seascape. What an amazing choice it was! Sarah and Jag were extremely welcoming and the welcome basket of food was extremely thoughtful.
The cottage itself was extremely cosy. Due to the underfloor heating, the cottage was toasty but was welcome on the couple of days it was blowy. Watching the weather from the living room (which has huge floor to ceiling windows) was mesmerising. Seascape is comfortably big enough for four adults.
The bedrooms were more than big enough, with plenty of storage. The beds were extremely comfortable and we all slept well. It was so quiet at night, no excuse for a bad nights sleep.
The bathroom was big and shower was more than adequate and easy to use.
The living/dining/kitchen was lovely. A great place to unwind and chill out. The kitchen has the most utensils/crockery/cutlery we've ever had in a cottage, so we were able to cook whatever we wanted.
The location is spectacular. The amount of wildlife was amazing. Seals, deer, hares, dozens of rabbits, oyster catchers and quite a few seals. The beach is less than 300 yards, and is so quiet with hardly any visitors.
We'll be heading back!
Thanks to Sarah for the extra for our daughter, it was much appreciated.
Another lovely break at seascape cottage
Looking forward to coming back next year for our 6th stay
Brilliant, had a marvelous time, enjoyed the walking, area, people especially the owners.
Accommodation was immaculate, not a thing out of place, very comfortable and peaceful. Thanks to you all.
Fantastic stay everything you need is their , beautiful cottage, spotless comfortable, views are stunning walks are awesome, but Sarah is a wonderful genuine person and will do anything to help you out if in need, even better when the local wild life pose for a photo out side of your window,,for the road - pathetic down to cottage is very bumpy rocky just go very slow with car.
This was our second visit to seascape cottage, we have had a wonderful week, beautiful weather for February too! Sarah is such an amazing host and the welcome pack was huge-very generous !
The bays and coves, the views from the floor to ceiling windows, the wildlife, the peace and tranquility of the area is second to none. The cottage was spotless on arrival. Sarah has thought of everything from dishwasher tablets and tin foil to fishing nets and balls for the dog etc. We loved seeing the deer in the field at breakfast and seals bobbing about in the bay-wish we could have stayed longer. We hope to be back soon! Thank you once again for a wonderful stay.
Excellent cottage. Well thought out design, included everything you might need, brilliant location and views. Just what was needed. Sarah is a great host
My experience of using Wilderness Cottages to book a Scottish cottage was simple and efficient. The cottage was as described and to a high standard. Would certainly use Wilderness Cottages again when looking for accommodation in Scotland.
This is one of the best cottages we have stayed in, very comfortable, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The location is fantastic
With Sea views and a very short walk to the beach, the coastline & wildlife is amazing. Sarah made us very welcome and the excellent welcome basket was an added bonus. We will definitely return in the future and would highly recommend this cottage.
A really nice cottage, very well appointed with all you could need for a good stay.
Quiet, peaceful location with great scenery and the sea just a few minutes walk away ... plus amazing rock formations!
And a friendly welcome on arrival as a bonus!
Seascape is a fantastic holiday cottage that exceeded our expectations. The location was superb, with stunning views of the sea and the hills. We loved walking on the two nearby beaches, which were clean and sandy. Our dog also had a great time on the beach and in the sea, running, digging and splashing around. The cottage itself was cozy and well equipped, with everything we could ask for. The hosts were very kind and generous, greeting us with a delicious welcome pack with local products and sharing some of their homegrown rhubarb with us. We had a relaxing and enjoyable stay at Seascape and would definitely come back again.
We had a fabulous week at Seascape cottage. It's clean and well equipped, providing everything we needed for an unforgettable holiday.
We all have different wants and needs from the place we are going to call home for a short period, We wanted Wilderness!, hence the website, we wanted by the coast, hence "seascape", we wanted seclusion, peace and an environment opposite to our manicured grasslands, inland farming location. To have all this I expected we would have to compromise on something, perhaps bed comfort, water temperature, view etc, How wrong I was, Seascape delivered on everything and in all cases surpassed all expectations. The complementary welcome pack was a lovely surprise, the cottage was homely, well equipped, Sarah was a delight! Location, well where else can you watch the solan goose diving for fish " from your bed" If you have a love for the wild and woolly rugged west coast with its secret bays and rocks, tides and changeable weather, this cottage does what it says on the tin. Go and experience, you will not regret it, and probably remember it for ever. ( Note! Pubs and shops a short drive) just stock up. Advice! do not take the sports car as you may lose the exhaust going down the lane. Enjoy
Not long back from our fabulous 14 day stay at Seascape Cottage. We all love this little peace of heaven, especially our 4 year old granddaughter and both our dogs. We even had a few dips in the Irish Sea at Dally Bay, on our doorstep. Sarah is the most amazing host and on hand if needed, and not intrusive at all. We all can't wait for our next trip to Seascape Cottage ??. The Hayter Family x
This cottage is just an absolute gem. It's spotlessly clean, warm & cosy. But on top of all of that it's really well equipped & Sarah has thought of everything...the welcome pack being a real bonus too. The views as everyone says are stunning & having the beach so near & virtually to yourselves was a complete joy - no amount of photos will do it justice. Highly recommend Seascape Cottage - it will not disappoint. We look forward to going back.
What a fantastic week we had at this lovely cottage, from the welcome basket on arrival from Sarah, to the views and walks along the gorgeous coastline.
We were lucky enough to sea seals playing in the bay.
We would just like to say thank you for letting us be part of your lovely community.
A lovely cottage in a fabulous location. The cottage has everything you need including a super welcome hamper.
Stunning views, beach just a 2 minute walk, very quiet and peaceful. Lots of lovely coastal walks and lots of interesting places to visit. You can walk for hours and not see a soul. Can throughly recommend this cottage if you are looking for a peaceful place to unwind.
An amazing place to spend a week - view across the sea, beach less than 5 minutes walk away and a beautiful area. Plenty or wildlife on land, sea and air to enjoy and enjoyable walks from the cottage if you don't want to take the car out. The cottage itself is very well appointed and comfortable, excellent basket of goodies to welcome guests and the neighbours are all very welcoming. The owner, Sarah, is incredibly friendly and helpful - we'll certainly be back.
Our family had a wonderful holiday, this is an exceptional cottage. Highly recommended.
Wonderful to swap the soundtrack to everyday life for the song of skylarks and waves washing onto the shore. Precious time simply to sit, look and truly 'switch off'. Perfect for the bird and wildlife watcher, as I am. The accommodation is exactly what I like - all that is needed and nothing fussy or extraneous; a well equipped kitchen and excellent bathroom. The warmest of welcomes. Lots of coastal walking and some driving to other sites such as the WW2 flying-boat base at Wig Bay and the Mull of Galloway - but mainly a lot of blessed peace. Thank you.
This was a beautiful cottage in a fabulous location. Very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Beautiful walks and wildlife to be seen right on your doorstep. The owner was lovely and helpful, but didn't invade our privacy, she left us a lovely welcome hamper, which came in very handy. We will definitely go back another time ????????????
The cottage was very comfortable and well appointed, the location spectacular even with the cows who came to check us out regularly just to see how we were settling in.
We also went on some beautiful walks both woodland and coastal. Highly recommended for that "get away from it all" feeling which, I am pleased to say remains with you on your return.
3rd time staying in this wonderful cottage.
Seascape has everything you need for a relaxing break, with stunning views across the bay with lovely walks and great cycling direct from the door step.
The cottage is very well equipped and spotlessly clean and the hosts are incredibly welcoming
We have already booked our 4th visit
Most fantastic cottage, homely, well furnished and equipped. Amazing welcome pack. Open the curtains in the morning and see deer munching grass, brown hares hopping by, birds of prey circling above or stroll 2 mins to the bay and see seals. Idyllic! Thank you for a wonderful week
Our second stay at Seascape again what a fantastic place, so peaceful and breathtaking views. Sarah is a brilliant host goes above and beyond to make your stay memorable. Had our 2 rescue dogs with us this time and they were the happest we had ever seen them really brought them out their shells. Can't wait until our next visit.
We had an amazing stay at Seascape Cottage and could not recommend it highly enough. The cottages location is by far the best we have stayed in, its very remote but if you want a real 'escape from it all' then this is the one for you. We went in February and it was so nice coming in from our exploring to a cosy, warm cottage. The views are astounding, the beaches that are walking distance from the cottage are beautiful and you get them all to yourself! The wildlife encounters were very memorable, deer, hares and seals basking on the rocks. Nearby Culzean Castle is worth a visit, the Galloway Forest Park had some good walks, Portpatrick and Mull of Galloway lighthouse (excellent coffee shop) were all highlights of this area of Scotland. Can't wait to go back.
A beautiful, clean and cosy cottage in a wonderfully quiet location. Hosts were there if needed but not overly so and the welcome pack was the best we have ever received. Would definitely stay again, thank you.
This was our 2nd stay in Seascape Cottage. We absolutely love this place. We stayed for 2 weeks, and could have stayed for longer. Always sad to leave. Our 3 year old granddaughter had a fantastic time down at "her beach" everyday and our two dogs love it too. Sarah is so lovely and at hand if needed, and the little start up items, wine, milk, bread, butter, eggs, shortbread, tablet, and so on, is such a lovely touch. Can't wait to return next year ???? x
This cottage is really the most perfect place to unwind and just get away from it all. The cottage is beautiful, cosy and with everything you need to fully appreciate its location. The owner, Sarah is lovely so welcoming and adding those little touches which just make the holiday that bit more special. This has been our sixth visit to Seascape and despite some rain we have been out every day for at least 4 hours walking along this beautiful coastline. The views are spectacular and we have had a couple of stormy days where the waves have been crashing onto the rocks which was amazing to watch and fantastic to photograph. We have not seen as much of the seals this year but the deer have been right outside the door several times each day. We have toasted Marshmallows by the sea, played pooh sticks under the little bridge ,played hide and seek among the rocks and rounders on the beach. There really is something for everyone. Thank you Sarah once again for a lovely week - see you next year The Sharrocks
This gorgeous cottage situated right by the rugged coastline of Scotland was the perfect quiet retreat. There is peace and quiet, incredible night skies and wildlife all around. The cottage is beautifully decorated to a high standard with everything you need for a comfortable holiday. The welcome hamper was very generous too!
The owner is really lovely and couldn't have been more helpful and friendly but also respecting our privacy.
We would definitely stay here again. A great 'find'!
We ony managed to book Seascape Cottage due to a cancellation, how lucky we were. We had a wonderful week at the begining of July, fabulous weather and fabulous accomodation. The cottage has all that you need for your stay, as well as being right next to the beach, try falling out of bed and straight onto the beach for your monrining walk, you will not be dissapointed. Lots of wildlife to be seen, birds, seals deer to name but a few. A lovely place to relax and unwind, or as we did visit all the local gardens. A beautiful place in a beautiful area. Thank you Sarah and Jag for letting us share your little bit of heaven.
Excellent stay at Seascape. The cottage was very clean, plenty big enough for four and the location was stunning with sea views and a little beach. Hosts were on hand if needed but we were able to stay private too. Great stay and would definitely recommend.
Great, well equipped, immaculate cottage. 2 minutes walk to the shore. Very quiet and peaceful. 20 minutes drive to Stranraer for shopping. If you get the weather a wee patio to sit on and amzing sunsets.
The owners live next door and were really kind and welcoming. They provided a lovely welcome basket of goodies and pointed us in the direction of good walks.
Would recommend.
This is simply one of the best cottages imaginable...beautifully clean and well equipped, with the most stunning views across the Irish Sea, and literally a couple of minutes' walk to quiet beaches and rock pools.
The host is friendly and helpful and helped make our stay really special.
Totally intend to pay further visits to this beautiful and relaxing cottage.
Our second stay at this wonderful coastal retreat.
The cottage is immaculately presented with tasteful touches throughout.
it a great location for coastal walks and cycling on quite country roads.
The best recommendation we can give for the cottage is that we have already booked for 2022!
We had an absolutely glorious week in Seascape in early May. We were very lucky with the weather, but even if we hadn't been the cottage is so well done it wouldn't have mattered, as we could have watched the sea and wildlife from complete comfort. As it was we were able to enjoy the wonderful walks along the coast from our front door, where we saw colourful displays of wildflowers, gannets, swallow, seals, and even a porpoise, and much more. The cottage is brilliantly equipped, very comfortable, and Sarah was a wonderful host.
If your looking for a total chilled out getaway look no further than seascape cottage. We can't recommend it highly enough, it has stunning views close to unspoilt beaches and coves, and is great for spotting all kinds of wildlife. The accommodation has everything you would need for a great trip away, the welcome basket on arrival was a really nice touch. Would we visit again definitely !!
A thoroughly enjoyable week spent at Seascape cottage. Very cosy and delightful to snuggle up on the sofa watching the huge rolling sea all week. Good walks from the doorstep , then interesting countryside to explore further by car. Sarah, the owner is lovely, made us feel most welcome and arranged some tasty goodies for our arrival..
Had such a lovely relaxing break at Seascape Cottage. It had everything we needed including a friendly approachable host. Sarah was great. The cottage is warm, comfortable and quiet. Out of the door and straight onto the wild rugged west coast beach. Our 2 dogs had a ball! Would highly recommend.
Another fabulous week in this fantastic cottage. It is the perfect place to relax and explore such a wonderful coastline. We managed at least 3 hour walks every day and to bodyboard where the seals came even closer this year. We saw so much wildlife again, including the deer and managed to release some lobsters trapped in a pot washed ashore in the storms on the Tuesday. This cottage is so wonderfully positioned for a quiet relaxing holiday and the owner Sarah is lovely, adding those little special touches even during these difficult times. We cant recommend this cottage enough, the WIFI was great and it has everything you need for a great holiday whatever the weather. We have already booked to return next year. Thank you Sarah.
A fantastic gem of a holiday cottage. Great location for a quiet relaxing break away with stunning views from the large front window of the secluded coastline. The cottage it self was superbly equipped with absolutely everything you needed. Sarah was a great host and had laid on generous welcome supplies. Got to mention the shower as it was so powerful and refreshing also worth a mention was the underfloor heating. We will certainly be booking a return visit.
We had a wonderful week at Seascape Cottage. Accommodation & facilities were excellent. Super clean, nice goodies on arrival, comfy beds, great shower and WIFI worked fine. Location was outstanding. Only a very short walk to the sea. Beautiful coast to explore, deserted beaches, ravines and more all within walking distance. The owner Sarah is lovely and at hand if needed. Mull of Galloway, Portpatrick and Galloway Forest Park are great places to visit, as are more quiet places like historic Whithorn (for history buffs). Highly recommend a holiday at Seascape Cottage.
Beautiful cottage in a lovely location. Very clean and well maintained.
Planning to return in May 2021!
Seascape cottage was the perfect escape for us. Lovely cottage and so close to the sea. The weather was kind for most of our stay and we were able to walk everday. Thank you to Chas and Jane for everything.
We enjoyed a wonderful week in Seascape Cottage.
It is well equipped and extremely comfortable. It has been built and maintained to a very high standard.
The hosts were really helpful, non obtrusive but there if you needed them.
The location is beautiful, very peaceful with scenic views what more could you ask for?
Clean, comfortable and well equipped.
A really peaceful location in a beautiful part of Scotland.
Friendly owners "next door".
Highly recommended.
What shall we say?
We had an unimaginably great time in this really beautifully located, tastefully furnished and carefully cleaned cottage. Its secluded location and unique sea view are priceless!
The landlords are incredibly nice and helpful. They even organised us a bike and a suitable lock so that we could explore the area without a car.
All in all a perfect holiday!
Lovely cottage with beautiful views of the sea. A perfect location for getting away from it all. The cottage has everything you need. Chas and Jane the perfect hosts. Unobtrusive but there if you need them. We visited the Mull of Galloway, Logan botanical garden, the Galloway forest park and Portpatrick. All wonderful.
A warm and welcoming cottage in a wonderful location well off the beaten track. We had a lovely holiday, a real retreat! Highly recommended for peace and quiet. Wildlife and birdwatching from the cottage windows was amazing. Our thanks to Chas and Jane for their hospitality!
A cosy cottage with everything you could need for a break away from it all. Fantastic sea views over to Ireland and great walks directly from the cottage. We were made very welcome by the owners Chas And Jane, who live nearby but are never intrusive. If it's a relaxing break away from it all you're after then this is the one.
The cottage lived up to our expectations. Jane and Chas gave us a warm welcome and then left us alone to settle in but were around if we needed anything. Although it was February we saw a hare and some deer on our first full day and Eider on Loch Ryan the next day. We visited the lighthouses at both ends of the Rhins, had a walking tour around Stranraer and a lunch in Portpatrick. There are some nice gardens a short drive from the cottage but most are closed in February. It was great having the sea view first thing every morning and there was no light pollution in the evenings so the stars were easy to see.
Wow! What a wonderful cottage this is. Tucked well away of the beaten track, this beautiful cottage is exceptionally well equipped for a very comfortable break away from it all. With views across the Irish Sea to Northern Ireland, we were blessed with spectacular scenery, blissful walks and jaw-dropping sunsets from our vantage point in the lounge and on the shoreline which is two minutes walk from the front door. Chas and Jane are thoroughly charming and helpful hosts who made sure we could find everything we needed and find our way around the surrounding areas with lots of helpful suggestions for days out and places to go. Seascape Cottage was well equipped for our four-footed companions and it was clear that they were completely welcome. We couldn't recommend this cottage more highly for those wanting to disconnect from the busyness of the world for a little while. We will be back :)
A most enjoyable new year break in a delightful, cosy, well-equipped cottage with the seashore not far from the door. Owners Chas and Jane gave a great welcome and I then had all the privacy desired. Great location for exploring Galloway.
Idyll location for this well maintained and beautifully equipped. If you want wild parties or shopping malls stay away,however if you want bird life, wildlife and scenic beauty this is the place. I'm not a wildlife expert but even I saw seals, red kites, buzzards and numerous small birds.
The owners have a charming mix of helpfulness, knowledge and respect for your privacy.
Seascape cottage was just fantastic. So well equipped and the owners were so friendly and kind. Just the kind of isolated spot we love with everything we needed. I have done cottage holidays for years, but this has to be the VERY BEST. The Peninsul is fascinating and Stranraer a town which has everything one would need. Belfast for a day is so easy and cost effective - well a great day out and at an amazing fare!! Will be back!
What a lovely cottage in a wonderful location. Owners met us after an incredibly long and roadwork besieged journey and welcomed us warmly. Lovely people and a great, well equipped cottage with gorgeous views. Will definitely be back and hopefully will be neighbours someday. Thanks for everything.
If you enjoy peace and tranquillity, excellent accommodation, and great sea views, Seascape is the place to stay. And even more so if you have dogs with two sandy bays a short trek through an adjoining field. Chas and Jane, the owners, are engaging yet discreet. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Seascape as a base from which to explore the surrounding Galloway area.
The cottage is terrific, very well equipped with quality items. It is extremely peaceful and in a beautiful location. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and there is much to see in the area, we loved our time there and hope to return soon. If you are looking for a holiday away from it all with peace, quiet and beauty all around look no further.
A most delightful cottage, very well equipped and with first class "Fixtures and Fittings" Great views of a very quiet bay, and, most days, the mountains of Ulster. The whole of the peninsular is interesting and very attractive with plenty of excellent eating places. Further afield, Auld Acquaintances in Girvan served up perhaps the finest Risotto ever! The cottage has very intermittent mobile phone signal for texts, and no cover for speech, which makes for a very quiet stay. Moderate broadband service, and adequate TV (if you really need it). Great chance to switch off and enjoy the peace and quiet, the views, and the very fresh air. On the Bucket List to return!!!
Very pleasant welcoming owners, there if needed. Well equipped, clean cottage with everything you could need. Very comfortable beds. Quiet, scenic location. A very relaxing break thank you.
This is an excellent holiday cottage. Two minutes walk to the beautiful cove by the sea. Superb hospitality from owners and locals. Wonderful stay in fully equipped accommodation.
Cottage is very well located and equiped. Owners are very friendly and helpful. One thing we really felt is missing is a (safe) garden to sit outdoors. With the grezt weather we've had it would have been perfect to sit and eat outdoors, but with 4 people plus dog this was not possible. We think it would be wise to put this information on your site so guests are not unpleasantly surprised on arrival.
Second time there, this time in a heatwave! Fantastic location, great cottage and excellent welcome from the owners. Looking forward to next time!
This was a fantastic cottage, the views were great watching the gannets diving in to sea most mornings and nights. Chas & Jane looked after us with info of what to see & do.
This was well off the beaten track but well worth the stay.The owners have thought of everything for the cottage.
Wonderful great cottage in fantastic landscape. Nice contrast between the roughness of the terrain and the finesse and comfort of the interior. Everything you could possible need is available at this thoughtfully crafted home-away form home. Excellent located to visit the many beautiful gardens, castles, parks and great nature of the Peninsula of the Rhins of Galloway. We have seen many beautiful birds, seals, deer and other wildlife during our stay. Very nice tearooms and some good restaurants in Port Patrick and Stranraer. Very friendly owners which are helpful if wanted but are very aware to have you keep your privacy.
We loved our two weeks here!
Seascape's just the right term for the amazing view you have from this cottage. Also, very nice build little house, clean with tasteful furniture and a pretty well and thoughtful equipped kitchen.
If our path leads us back to Scotland some day, this cottage would be our number 1 choice, we had a great stay there!
This is a lovely well equipped cottage in a great location to have a relaxing holiday. The owners are very friendly. My only concern being the lane down to the cottage. It is very uneven and rough and could do with some attention.
Superb in every respect. Great position, fantastic facilities and friendly owners. probably the best holiday cottage we have stayed in.
The cottage is off the beaten track in a quiet location, within minutes from the sea. A lovely outlook at breakfast. Owners near but unobtrusive - there if you need them. They welcomed us warmly. Cottage very well equipped and cosy.
It's all in the name and all about the location. We spent a week at Seascape Cottage and loved every minute. As soon as we saw the location, just a couple of minutes walk from the shoreline we were happy. We were warmly welcomed by Jane & Chaz, who live directly behind the cottage, but were never intrusive. The cottage had quality fixtures and fittings, comfortable sofas and beds and is warm (there is a brilliant heating system), the wonderful view out to sea changes with the weather.
A major factor for us was how dog friendly the cottage is and without too many rules; throws, extra dog beds and bowls are provided. We had some wonderful walks just exploring the seashore in either direction. We saw deer and a hare from the cottage window and watched gannets diving in the sea with the binoculars provided.
All in all a wonderful place for a very quiet, get away from it all, relaxing holiday.
We stayed here over Christmas and New Year and really enjoyed the quiet location with easy access to the coast. We had my disabled Father with us and the cottage was ideal for him to tootle around. This is a very cosy place and I think we have all missed the underfloor heating after returning home!
Jane and Chas did a meet and greet and then left us to it. There is only a small fridge and I had taken far too much food to last the Festive Season, so ran out of space for storage. I would definitely recommend for a peaceful getaway.
Cottage is perfect everything you need is there and where it is situated couldn't be any better great weekend the weather was kind which made it even better. Views are perfect. This is my third visit to the cottage wouldn't dream of booking a different one it is so perfect.
Great holiday stay. We were looking for quiet and we got it. The views over to Ireland were awesome when the weather allowed. We arrived just in time for storm Ophillia and we enjoyed that very much (we love storms) had a power cut and be warned no light pollution so it was DARK! On clear nights you can see the milky way as it is so DARK that was an awesome sight. Plenty to do in the area with some great food outlets to done at.
The Cottage is a home from home with every comfort you would look for and berry comfortable. The under floor heating is a bit too efficient so be warned as the house takes a while to Coll down as we discovered after someone turned the thermostat up too high!
The only visitors we had were the birds and a Hate that came past the house same time each day. The owners are directly behind the Cottage but once they had welcomed us in they left us to it but we knew we could call on them if needed. Very nice couple and very genuine.
We had a great relaxing time and yes we hope to return for another relaxing stay.
Just returned from a fantastic week at Seascape, despite its isolated setting we found it easy enough from the directions (though wouldn't want to find it in the dark!).
Perfect hosts in Chas and Jane who were very welcoming but very unobtrusive and thoughtful. Amazing views form the cottage and only a minute down to the stunning beachy cove. Fantastic week relaxing in the stunning countryside and then curling up in the cosy warm cottage to watch films! Can't wait for the next visit!
We had a wonderful weeks holiday. The Cottage was very well appointed. Very warm with all possible amenities and lovely decor. The views were gorgeous even though we had a very rainy windy time there. We are looking forward to our next visit.
Just returned from a lovely week at Seascape. So quiet and peaceful, did a few fabulous walks from the cottage. The cottage itself was immaculate, cosy and very well equipped. Chas & Jane were really helpful if you had any questions. Definitely recommend fro those who want to get away from it and appreciate beautiful scenery.
Seascape cottage was truly a home from home and Chas and Jane have thought of everything in making it so. The setting was superb and the wildlife around the cottage lived up to all the descriptions.
Rain, Sun and wind, no matter the weather the scenery is dramatic and ever changing. A delightful 'get away from it all' holiday and we can't wait to return.
We had a fantastic week at Seascape. The cottage itself is brilliant. Everything you could possibly need has been provided for. Jane and Chas (the owners) were incredibly welcoming, thank you for the jam and the wine! The location is sublime, I think I must have spent most of the week gazing at the sea! We had been there for less than an hour when we saw roe deer and a fox on the beach, and of course the seals were in the bay most days. I can't recommend highly enough, everything was perfect.
Our stay at Seascape was perfect more than we expected, warm comfortable and well equipped. Brilliant sea views and marvelous sunsets have a walk to the top of the hill and watch the sun go down over the horizon a walk back down to the cottage and maybe a glass off wine to finish your day. We were fortunate in in having two roe deer visit us outside the door seals in the bay most nights. Chas was there to greet us very informative but never intrusive if you want to know anything just ask Plenty of gardens which are well worth a visit also Port Patrick. Kirkcolm post office for bits and pieces or a short drive to Stranraer for anything else. Don,t often return to the same place but will be returning to Seascape Many thanks for the use of your lovely cottage
What a beautiful, comfy cottage everything we needed including bed /bowls and towels for Stella and Scampy. Sofa's were so comfy to crash out on after long walks!, Jane and Chas have thought of everything, they were excellent hosts nothing was too much trouble and very informative, close by but not intrusive. Fantastic views, plenty of wild life, great walks, and the beach only minutes walk away. If you want isolation peace and tranquillty this is the place for you. Shopping only 9 miles away so not too far.
Our stay at Seascape cottage was what we wanted, isolated but within reach (15 min approx) from Stranraer, the owners Chas & Jane have catered for just about everything you'll need. From the cottage to the shore line you have a 2 or 3 minute down hill walk which on the way back you have a slight rise to climb. There are good walks along the shore (bring walking boots). The cottage has no wifi and you need to a short distance by car for a signal, but that's part of the attraction to get away from it all and chill out! Perfect.
We had a fantastic stay at Seascape Cottage. The cottage is very well appointed and finished to an excellent standard, second to none we have stayed in to date. We received a warm welcome from the hosts, Jane and Chas, including a complimentary bottle of wine. Our hosts have thought of everything including providing dog bowls and towels if you need them. A very peaceful spot with lovely walks from the door and also a short car ride away. We will certainly return.
We spent 3 nights at Seascape Cottage - a perfect 'get away from it all' cottage. The location was just what we wanted - close to the sea with terrific sea views from the living room and main bedroom. The cottage was warm, very well equipped and very comfortable. And the owners were very friendly and helpful. There's no wi-fi or mobile reception at the cottage, which is fine if you are happy to be 'off grid' - but you can get a signal just up the hill from the cottage.
A cosy, comfortable and relaxing cottage in a lovely location. Perfect for exploring this fantastic coastline. We wanted for nothing.......even the weather was on our side......
What a lovely cottage and we couldn't have asked for better hosts. Chaz and Jane were warm and welcoming and full of information. They were always the same but also respected our privacy. Cracker their Lurcher was a delight. Wonderful weather for our 2 weeks with some spectacular sunsets over the sea and N. Ireland. A treat to be able to see the Milky Way. A great place for buzzards and kestrels. A flock of Lapwings on the way to Portpatrick was a bonus. We saw the wild goats just down the coast but failed to see the deer. All in all a magical secluded place.
Great place to relax and enjoy the solitude. Really peaceful and fantastic views to the sea and even across to Ireland. Wildlife is in abundance ( watch the seals from the lounge window ) and fishing is just a walk down the field or a short car ride to Loch Ryan. Dogs welcome and plenty of space for them to have a good walk and many walks available for the humans.
The accommodation itself was first class, everything you need plus clean and tidy.
Hosts Jane and Chav were very welcoming and so obliging.
What a lovely little cottage this is really close to the seaside which, whatever the weather, is beautiful and rugged. The cottage was very welcoming and warm as were the hosts. The wheelchair accessiblity in the cottage was very good although the shower not particularly built for a wheelchair. Our dogs were made most welcome and we were able to park our little trailer right outside the house which doubled up as a dog kennel (for our muddy alsation) when we weren't using it to transport my husbands electric scooter around. The lanes and local tracks were great for exploring by mobility scooter and we could even get it on to the beach - great!
Just spent a thoroughly enjoyable week relaxing in the home comforts that Seascape Cottage provided. Believe all the previous 5 star reviews about this cottage, they are true. Beautifully maintained, with great sea views. Welcoming bottle of wine and pot of wonderful homemade jam, provided by our hosts, Jane and Chas, got us off to a great start. Fabulous week, good weather was a bonus.
we had a great time at seascape. superb cottage,v.clean.very nice friendly owners who give us wine and jam as a welcoming gift. v.thoughtful after our long journey from essex.i would certainly recommend this cottage. please note,owners live right next to cottage,a point which seems to have missed in the photos.
Great place to stay.Host's we're friendly and helpful.cottage was imaculate,with a great view of the sea.
We stayed at seascape cottage. The owners were there to welcome us to the most beautiful cottage with outstanding views. To say that the owners are nothing less than helpful and welcoming would be an understatement. Welcomed with a smile, and homemade produce started our holiday off to a wonderful start. Not to mention that they are so helpful and truly the nicest couple!
Everything in the cottage is of excellent standard and quality. The best equipped cottage we have EVER stayed in, with extras like dog beds, bowls even washing tablets to last you the full week. Not including poop bags for the dogs and a ball!! Super beds, and comfy sofas welcome you after the long and beautiful walks with the dogs. Outstanding decor and such a welcoming environment as soon as you walk in the door. And not one thing has been forgotten about.
I wish on cottages like this, there was an extra rating, because excellent just doesn't seem to describe this cottage and the stay that we had here. Its way above that, and I really can't wait till we go back next year
If you appreciate beautiful and peaceful countryside - then Seascape Cottage is ideal for you! The cottage is located down a rural lane and overlooks fields - with views across the sea to Ireland. Plenty of places to walk your dog and enjoy the lovely coastal scenery. Seascape is very well equipped with modern appliances, tasteful furnishings and is spotlessly clean. The bathroom is spacious and the shower warm and powerful. The cottage owners, Chaz and Jane live close-by and are a lovely couple. They take great care not to 'intrude' but frankly we much enjoyed their pleasant company. The location of the cottage is also well placed for those guests wishing to visit the many excellent gardens in the vicinity. Being warmed by the Gulf Stream these gardens can grow the tender exotic plants that most of us in the UK can only dream about. We would particularly recommend Logan Botanic Garden. Finally, Seascape Cottage not only 'accepts' dogs but 'welcomes' them - so our Bichon Frise had a great holiday too.
This is a lovely cottage, with lots of little extras and attention which makes such a difference. Chas and Jane are so warm and welcoming. They are there to help but very discreet as they live behind the property. A peaceful and remote spot but easy to access this beautiful area of Scotland. A perfect place for a winter holiday as the cottage is so arm and comfortable. Would definitely recommend this cottage.
We have just returned from our second visit to Seascape Cottage, enjoyed everything again, Jack (our dog) says ditto.
Seascape cottage is very isolated and quite scary drive down the hill first time but it was worth it. Such comfy beds, soft towels and really good shower .....oh and the views of the sea were just amazing. We were blessed with good weather too which made it even more special. A really lovely relaxed holiday .
If you like home comforts, peace and quiet, good views and considerate owners this is the cottage for you. We had a really lovely week here enjoying almost deserted coastal walks, bird watching and visiting beautiful gardens. It was good to know the owners were close by in case of any emergency because there is no wifi or mobile reception but we appreciated the silence and read more books. We finished the rhubarb and ginger jam. It was delicious.
What a gorgeous, peaceful, tranquil place to holiday. The cottage is delightful, down a long wobbly farm track. If you want to get away from it all this is your place, with no mobile or wifi reception. You will be surrounded by an abundance of wildlife to keep you company. In our one, hot and sunny week, we saw Hares, Pheasants, Roe dear, Grouse, Seals, Otter, Heron, an abundance of colourful little birds with delightfully inquisitive cows for neighbours. Dally Bay and beach is a very quiet little beach, just a couple of minutes walk from the front door, where our little dog enjoyed running around. This is a perfect spot to explore the Rhines of Galloway and surrounding area from. The owners of the cottage live in their own house just behind, and are on hand for advice of the area, yet very respectful of your own privacy. Highly recommended for a restful holiday, in Southern Scotland.
This cottage is a gem , tastefully furnished and everything you need is provided.location absolutely perfect the sort of place you would travel to for great walks shoreline and rock pools etc Jane and Chas, owners just could not be more warm welcoming , nothing is too much trouble for them ,we really appreciated their kindness. Very dog friendly we are returning ASAP !!!
Very well equipped and comfortable cottage miles from anywhere with fabulous views - the peace and quiet suited us nicely. Would strongly recommend.
What a wonderful week , Seascape Cottage is an idyllic retreat , the hosts are very welcoming and your every need is catered for . The weather was very good for the time of year, very windy but that just made the sea view all the more spectacular. All this can be seen from the very cosy cottage . Shame the week ended I would have stayed longer. Can't wait to book another week .
I stayed in Seascape Cottage for four nights, along with my sister and my German Shepherd dog. The cottage is situated along a farm track and looks out over the fields and the bay. We were welcomed warmly by Jane, the owner, and also by the neighbour cows! Everything in the cottage is of a high standard and we lacked for nothing as it was very well equipped and comfortable. The views from the cottage and down on the bay were beautiful.
Although it was November the weather was kind to us and the sunsets were stunning for our first two nights. The dog loved the field across the road as well as the bay where she could run as much as she liked. We visited Stranraer and Portpatrick (where we had lunch in the Crown Hotel as they allow dogs in the restaurant.)
I would be happy to recommend Seascape Cottage to anyone.
Me & my neighbour take our dogs away every year because of the fireworks. Cottage is best I've stayed in very comfortable and very clean was a real treat. Everything you could need is there. Great area to walk dogs and no noise they had a great time. This is the first cottage we've went to that I'd definitely go back. The owner was lovely and helpful but it's all about the cottage just so comfy and clean it makes you feel relaxed and the views are to die for.
We had a wonderful week in Seascape. A beautiful cottage, well kept, with amazing views and coves within minutes away. If you want peace, quiet and a relaxing time in beautiful surroundings, this is the cottage for you, the owner Jane was very welcoming and knows all about the area and surrounding places to take our dogs. We will definitely be back!
Had a wonderful holiday. The cottage is very comfortable and well furnished. There are some wonderful walks locally and the cottage is well located for touring the area. We would definitely use this cottage again.
Highly recommended.
This is a very nicely appointed and well kept cottage in an idyllic location. With fantastic views out to sea and just a short walk to quiet bays on a rugged coastline it's a wonderful place for a peaceful holiday.
This was a great place to stay and unwind. The view out from the cottage is to die for. Owners are very friendly. A great welcome was given and we were sad to leave. One thing to mention is no mobile signal at cottage so great for complete isolation.
Beautiful, well finished cottage but it's all about the Seascape. Fantastic views and lovely beaches. If it's a relaxing break away from it all you're after then this is the one. We would happily go back. That says it all I think. Thanks to Jane for the warm welcome.
Seascape cottage is one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in.It was well equipped very clean with lovely furnishings. The views from the floor to ceiling windows give the opportunity to enjoy views across to Ireland (on a clear day) and to observe a vast array of wildlife. It is very peaceful and we would recommend it for those who are want to "get away from it all".
Just returned from a wonderful week at Seascape. We were met on arrival by the owners who were very helpful. The cottage was lovely, clean, and had everything we could think of - particularly for my nonagenarian mother. Wonderful view across to Northern Ireland with ferries passing at regular intervals! Highly recommended.
An excellent cottage, very well appointed ,set in quiet countryside with stunning coastal views. Very helpful, discreet hosts.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
We spent a really relaxing week in this very comfortable, beautifully clean cottage enjoying the views of the sea.
The owners, who live nearby are helpful and very respectful of your privacy.
A really enjoyable holiday
This is a new cottage which was very comfortable and well presented with lovely views. It sits on a deserted stretch of coastline with an abundance of birdlife, and other wildlife, around the area. The owners who live close by were very friendly to us. It was a perfect place for a relaxing break, and we also enjoyed exploring the Rhins of Galloway, which has some real treats in store for those who look. We did a lot of walking and have returned feeling much healthier.
28th March-4th April 2015.
Excellent facilities and location. Weather was not good (snow, hail, rain, gale force winds !!) but didn't stop us from visiting Mull of Galloway, Port Patrick, Logan Gardens etc etc. All easily reached on quiet roads. Property was/is very comfortable, very warm (much needed for us) and peaceful. Directions were also excellent. Ideal for birdwatching and walking. Would love to return during the spring (warmer?) months to witness the wild flowers.Thank you.
If you want peace and quiet, stunning views and a well appointed cottage then Seascape is for you. A delicious welcome gift of homemade jam and a bottle of wine greeted us after we'd had a tour with the owners. A lot of care has been taken to ensure the cottage is comfortable and the under floor heating will keep you snuggly warm. There is no Wi-Fi or phone signal but that wasn't a problem for us. We will definitely return.
Seascape cottage is a new build and as expected is extremely well appointed and very, very comfortable.It is warm and well equipped.
We found it a very good base to explore the Rhins of Galloway and visit the many beautiful gardens and, not to be missed, the Mull of Galloway. I would recommend a trip to Portpatrick which has good restaurants especially the Fernhill Hotel. We were fortunate to have lovely weather. Chas and Jane, the owners, couldn't be more helpful.
A fantastic cottage with amazing sea views. Spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished with all home comforts, great for kids and dogs with a small beach 2 mins walk away.
We saw lots of local wildlife including a group of seals just off the beach!
Lovely owners who took great care of us; they were very helpful with great knowledge of the area.
Loads of interesting places to visit locally, all within a short drive.
A lovely place for a very relaxing holiday - we would highly recommend it.
