The area is unspoilt, the scenery idyllic, and the seascapes around the Rhins as dramatic as they are beautiful.

The cottage was really nice, with an outside seating area, and a large garden to the rear. There is also a large conservatory, with a dining table and chairs. The only small gripe is the lack of a freezer, which would have been handy due to the distance to Stranraer. A freezer would have saved a couple of shopping trips.There is a well stocked shop across the road, and two pubs a five minute walk away. The Ship Inn do decent food, too. There is also a coffee shop, and a children’s play area for those with youngsters. The harbour is at the bottom of Mill Street, with the wreck of HMS Pagham which was an inshore minesweeper.You’re also less than five miles from The Mull of Galloway lighthouse, which is well worth a visit.Drummore is a beautiful village, and the locals are really friendly. We will definitely be going there again.

Delightful cottage with lots of light, airy space and a fantastic garden area. Comfortable beds, very clean and tastefully decorated. Kitchen was well equipped and lovely conservatory to eat in. We were lucky to have fantastic weather all week, lovely beach and well stocked village shop and The Ship Inn serves great food, lovely owners with a new beer garden.
