Best Features
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Stable Cottage. Very cozy and very well equipped. Super peaceful in beautiful surroundings.
Great place and an Aga as a bonus! Very comfortable and well appointed. The grounds of the estate are good for walks and the surrounding area for drives. Portpatrick for a nice harbour town and Stranraer for shopping.
Very good setting in the castle estate with wonderful walks in the castle grounds..Accomodation was also very good suggested road route in to stable cottage on arrival needs to be reviewed as it unsuitable for cars.
Fabulous week spent at Stable cottage the surrounding estate is beautiful and so peaceful. A great base to explore the wonderful coast and countryside. The cottage would benefit from some redecoration but is very comfortable with everything one needs for a break away.
Stable cottage is tucked away behind Lochnaw castle in woodland abundant with wildlife. The walks and beaches are unspoilt and stunning. The local attractions like Portpatrick and Logan botanical gardens are well worth visiting. The locals are incredibly friendly and there is a whole variety of restaurants and eateries to tickle your tastebuds. The cottage was comfortable and reasonably well equipped. Its location is simply perfect for a wilderness holiday.
Great cottage and location. Loved all the wildlife and peacefulness.
Cottage was well appointed. It was comfortable, clean and warm. The location was excellent, within wooded grounds and close to the beach. We enjoyed walking sections of the Southern Upland Way and Mull of Galloway trail, as well as visiting local gardens, including Logan and Glenwhan. There were 4 people in our party and all had a great holiday. We couldn't fault the cottage and would recommend it as a place to stay to anyone visiting Stranraer.
Great cottage in a quiet location - ideal for anyone who wants a peaceful break in a very rural setting on a historic estate. Cottage was to a high standard throughout. We loved it!
We had a very enjoyable holiday at Stable Cottage. The accommodation could not be faulted, ideally situated in wonderful surroundings and we would be happy to return in the future. Would be of special interest to wildlife watchers.
Wonderfully comfortable, clean, warm and well equipped holiday home, thank you to the owners we had a fab time.
Cottage is more than adequate for 6 people. Has all the amenities you could think of. Kevin was exceptional so helpful. The grounds are great well maintained. Would definitely return.
Stable cottage is a beautiful accommodation in the most stunning setting. We stayed in May, and the woods were filled with blue bells, and so much wildlife, roe deer, red squirrels, woodpeckers, jays, owls to name a few. Our children had a great time riding bikes and fishing, although we struggled to catch anything. The only down side was the renovation works which, while they didn't interfere with our holiday as such, it did prevent the children playing in the courtyard as trucks came in and out during the day from about 8am. Having said that we would happily return again
