Fabulous Property - five stars
Graham, our host, has built the perfect holiday cottage. Well planned, amazingly well equiped. This is by far the best self catering property that we've ever stayed in, and they've been many in New Zealand, France, Italy, Britain and the Scotland. The amount of wildlife in the area is wonderful. An added bonus, is the house is close to everywhere you'd want to visit but also out of traffic and flight paths.

A beautiful place to stay
We had a wonderful time and Graham was a great host, always on hand if we needed anything and providing ideas of things to do. The house is well equipped and has everything you could ever need for a comfortable stay. We loved the location, being close to lots of walks and within reasonable driving distance of attractions further afield. We could sit and watch the wildlife from the garden, spend time outside in nature and switch off, which is just what we needed.

Family holiday
The property was exactly as described, clean, spacious and well equipped and the host Graham was a really nice guy. Our granddaughter really loved the large garden and the woodlands and was amazed by the local wildlife which came into the Garden and which we could view from the house, many birds which included pheasant, woodpeckers various finches, crows and sparrows, red squirrel and deer. The location was great very quiet and relaxing but only a 15 minute drive from the local towns and beaches. We had a great holiday and may well come back to this property in the future.

A very large and spacious property which was very clean and comfortable for our large family
The property was very clean and nicely furnished. It had everything you could need for a home from home stay. Was perfect for our large family holiday (3 families) with plenty of space both inside and the surrounding grounds. We all had an amazing time both at the property and in the surrounding area exploring. Graham was a most helpful and friendly host who responded to all queries prior to the holiday promptly and was on hand if needed whilst on site. Thank you so much, we hope to return next year.

Smooth process renting and good communication prior to stay. Plenty of room both inside and out. In a good location to travel around the area. The owner was close by and made us all feel very welcome without interfering with our stay. He keeps both the property and grounds in excellent order.

Beautiful setting
The house is huge and set in its own grounds offering plenty of space for the children to play and explore. Each room in house is well stocked and there is plenty of storage for clothes etc in bedrooms. This proved to be a fab base for us to explore the west coast. The only changes we feel the property needs is a little update to give the house a real wow factor which it could be more than capable of. Also while the house was tidy we did feel it wasn’t especially clean and found we had to wash a lot of the kitchen equipment, worktops and cooker before we could use them. Other than this, we found the house to be nice and well placed.

House is amazing. Huge upstairs bedrooms and plenty of living, kitchen and dining space too. Immaculately clean throughout. Our kids just loved the house and the outdoor area (even in October).

Portpatrick escape weekend
The property did exactly as it said on the description. The booking in was hassle free and Graham was on hand in case we had any questions. the property has absolutely loads of space both inside and out and the area is so quiet. Plenty of space for games in the huge grassed garden area and great exploring for the kids in the forest. Red squirrels aplenty!!! Great stay and just what we all needed! Portpatrick is only a 10 minute drive away and the restaurants are great. We ate at the Mount Stuart for Sunday lunch and it was great!

Brilliant location fantastic facilities immaculate throughout would highly recommend this property for family’s, hen nights birthdays etc. Overall 10/10 The only thing I would recommend to the owner would be a grab rail in the downstairs shower for someone with a disability and plastic shower chair that could be removed when not in use. Many Thanks Josie and all the other Guests

Perfect house in a stunning setting
The property and it's beautiful surroundings exceeded all our expectations. We are a family of 3 generations and it catered for all our needs. There is ample space for everyone and the house is spotlessly clean and superbly equipped. The owner is friendly and helpful but not at all intrusive. The location is beautiful, with huge grassy areas and a woodland to explore. We had BBQs on several evenings whilst relaxing in this peaceful setting. Perfect!

Spacious house and grounds with a small wood
A wonderful weeks holiday. Everything our family of 9 could ask for. Quality bedding and towels, fully equipped kitchen, beyond most holidays homes! Bedrooms large with fitted wardrobes and cupboards. Plenty of space in laundry/boot room . Many balls, racquets , foam cricket bat and other outdoor toys. The woods are super for the children especially great fun for the Easter egg hunt. Red squirrels, pheasants, siskins, rooks dashing through the outer areas of the woods, a good display daily. We all loved the house area and especially the lovely host Graham, nothing too much trouble for him. We hope to visit again. The Homer & Murdoch families.

Brilliant stay
Lovely house, very well equipped with very comfortable beds. As said in other reviews, the pictures don't do the house justice. The wildlife was also a bonus. Wifi was great in the house - we had at least 6 devices connected at any one time, many times more, with no issues. Note, no connection to vodafone network or O2 networks. Great stay.
