From the owner

Beach cottage is located in the small coastal village of Sandhead, with uninterrupted views over Luce Bay and the Galloway hills beyond. The lounge boasts stunning sea views and the conservatory overlooks the secluded garden and woodland at the rear of the property.
Beach Cottage has 7 miles of sand on your doorstep! Ideal for entertaining the children or walking the dog! If you have neither it's just great for a relaxing walk and plenty of fresh air - often the beach is deserted so you get it all to yourself.

Sandhead has a pub/restaurant, shop and tearoom all within an easy stroll from Beach Cottage.

Portpatrick is a short drive away and boasts many lively pubs and restaurants which serve good food all day.

The Rhins of Galloway is also renowned for its gardens - Logan Botanic, Ardwell, Castle Kennedy, Glenwhan and Dunskey - as the area is warmed by the Gulf Stream there are may exotic plants to be viewed.

The Mull of Galloway Lighthouse (the most southernly point in Scotland) is just 10 minutes drive from Sandhead, it is home to Gallie Craig Tearoom and RSPB reserve.

For avid walkers the Southern Upland Way starts in Portpatrick and there is also a coastal walk from Stranraer to Mull of Galloway.

There are also plenty of options for fishing and golfing in the area.

The advert for this holiday home is misleading as there is no picture of the outside of the house - 'Beach Cottage'- which in the flesh appears to be an semi-detached ex-council house. Initi… More

Owner's reply:
Sorry that you were disappointed with your stay at Beach Cottage. On the point of the grass cutting we cut it first thing on Saturday morning, usually this would be done on a Friday but did not manage this due to the weather which I mentioned to you when I called and I did appologise. Also you locked me out of the back garden when I was still cutting the grass at the front, so I presumed that you did not wish any further contact. You also brought along a dog which was not mentioned in the booking. I will admit that you payed a high cost, but as this was booked through Trip Advisor they add ap 20% to my prices. Beach Cottage has been fully booked all summer, with many repeat bookings and no-one has complained about the house, the neighbours or the location.
