Description from owner
Description
Kildrochet Cottage is the Victorian wing of an early Georgian country house, set in 5.5 acres of gardens, paddock, woods and lawn, which guests are welcome to use. There is open space for children to play and garden furniture for relaxing and dining outdoors. It is situated 3 miles from the shops and amenities of Stranraer, with it's ferry service to Ireland, and at the top of The Mull of Galloway, Scotland's southernmost point. It is 5 miles from the quaint and hugely popular village of Portpatrick which hosts the start of the east - west Southern Upland Way walk across Scotland, is a short drive from several beaches, and is perfectly located for those interested in rambling, fishing, shooting during the season, cycling and golf. 3 first class golf courses are in the immediate vicinity and the world famous courses of Turnberry and Royal Troon are 1 - 1.5 hours away. The Galloway Forest Park, Britain's largest, is about 1 hour's drive away. The interior of the cottage is light and airy, with the lounge having a lovely view over the lawn and garden, and the general ambiance is country cottage but with an individual and artistic slant. Although a 1 - bedroom cottage, there is also a spare, comfortable folding bed for a child or extra guest. Wi-fi internet is available. Pets are welcome.
Please see our adjacent one bedroom property on Trip Advisor/Flipkey at - "The Studio, Beach 10mins, Portpatrick 15mins". This may be particularly useful for groups of 3 or 4 who wish to travel together as the property also sleeps 2.
UPDATE: As of mid June 2015, we now have Superfast Fibre Optic Broadband, so the internet is both much faster and more reliable.

“Quiet and comfortable”
A quintessentially comfortable and beautiful Victorian cottage that feels typically British. We immediately made this home and it was perfect for a six night stay after lockdown. Perfect location for lots of walking to explore the area, coastal walks as well as tackling the Merrick - and enjoying a hot soak afterwards in the slipper bath. Very quiet location - with the busy chattering of birds in the dawn chorus at 4am. Highly recommended.

“Beautiful House”
The house and grounds were amazing. The apartment was ideal for us (a couple and a dog). Although attached to the main house, it has it’s own separate entrance and feels secluded. It is a real home from home and has everything you would need. It is located a short drive from Portpatrick and Stranraer and is well positioned for exploring the surrounding areas ... the Mull of Galloway, Wigtown, Whithorn etc. There is a beach a short drive away, Sandhead. We managed to cram in quite a lot of sightseeing as well as a lovely meal in the Mount Stewart Hotel. I would definitely recommend this holiday home.
