Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviews frequently highlight the spotless condition of the cottage, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that guests appreciate.

The cottage's beautiful and tranquil rural setting, with stunning views and proximity to a working farm, is highly praised by guests.

Most guests find the cottage comfortable and cosy, though one review suggests the beds could be improved, slightly lowering the score.

The facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and a popular hot tub, are generally well-regarded, though one mention of a noisy boiler and the need for kitchen TLC slightly impacts the score.

While the hosts are described as welcoming and accommodating, there are no specific mentions of gifts, so it is not possible to assess thoughtfulness in this context.

Whithorn is a former Royal Burgh and is best-known for having the first recorded Christian church is Scotland. Located on the Machars Peninsula in Dumfries and Galloway, the town is well-placed for exploring the coast and countryside. The area of Whithorn is rich in history and is also home to a medieval priory and an archaeological site. The distinctive shape of Whithorn, with its spacious central area and narrow entrance-ways of elegant Georgian houses, displays its medieval heritage. The Machars and Rhins of Galloway are also home to spectacular gardens, a result of the Gulf Stream and mild climate. Logan Botanic Gardens, the Aldouran Wetland and the spectacular gardens of Castle Kennedy are all a must see. To the north of the Machars are the Galloway Hills, offering walking to all levels as well as world class mountain biking. Golf, fishing and wildlife spotting are well catered for and the sandy beaches of Monrieth, Garleston, and along the whole of Luce Bay will delight any visitor.
