We just wanted a few days peace after the Christmas madness, and have to say Kirchlauchline cottage was perfect! It feels so remote, yet Stranraer is only a 15 minute drive, with Portpatrick even closer. A well equipped cottage that has everything you could need.We arrived to Christmas decorations, a lovely bottle of wine and a snack hamper. The hostess certainly knows how to welcome guests and make it feel like home from home!Will definitely be going back!
