Overview
Property code: OC-D545503

Answer the call of the coast and head to the shoreline of southern Scotland, enjoying this peaceful, single-level abode with breathtaking sea views across Luce Bay towards the Isle of Man. Make your way along the Machars Peninsula towards Port William (3.5 miles), an ancient fishing village that acts as a perfect starting point for endless coastal walks, complete with a small harbour and a selection of cafes. Hike inland towards the ancient heritage of the Drumtroddan Standing Stones (5.5 miles) or visit the Iron Age hillfort, Barsalloch Fort (5.5 miles). Golfers will be keen to visit St Medan Golf Club (7 miles), and you’ll also find another popular course at Newton Stewart (18 miles), your largest local town. Head out late at night to discover the Galloway Astronomy Centre (9 miles) or make your way to Galloway Forest Park (21 miles), a designated Dark Sky Reserve.

Instantly inviting, this homely abode has been lovingly decorated with a warm, welcoming feel – step inside and see what we mean. The lounge area doubles as a dining room, designed with a delightful open fire at one side to add to the overall ambience of the space. Get ready for a board game evening around the table or switch on the TV/DVD player as the night gently draws in. The kitchen is along the hall, a well-equipped space with a traditional, rustic appeal. Find a second comfortable seating area in the conservatory. This light-filled space features ample comfortable seating positioned around French doors, offering a panoramic sea view – a fantastic opportunity to admire the scenery even when it’s cooler outside. All three of the property’s bedrooms can be found here on the ground floor, served by a refreshing family shower room. Two of the rooms are handsome doubles, and the third is a cosy twin.

Discover the beautiful greenery of the property’s garden, a fully enclosed space secured by drystone walls. This area features an outdoor dining table for al fresco afternoons, along with that incredible sea view stretching out across the bay.

This is the third time we have stayed in this cottage and it is just perfect for us - comfortable, well equipped, great location and enclosed garden. The sun room looks out over the bay with fantastic views and we spent most of our time in there when we were not out and about in the area. The dogs loved it and settled in very well, were planning onRead more coming back next year! Hide

3rd time here , always a fine experience . Fine weather, just staring at the mull of Galloway and the stars / meteors at night, very clean and tidy as always. The treats where an nice surprise ( Monty the beagle says thanks for the hog logs )

On paper this cottage seemed absolutely perfect for us. An enclosed garden for our dog was a particular attraction and he absolutely loved it. The cottage itself was ok, could do with a bit of TLC, some decoration and a really good clean, particularly in the conservatory. But the biggest problem for us was the road noise from the almost constant trRead moreaffic passing close by. Obviously the owners can do nothing about the road, but it would have helped us to make a more informed decision about whether the place was right for us or not, had we known about how busy the road was.

We felt very uncomfortable from the start, as the property was in need of renovation and dirty. The freezer was iced over, and there were still open food items in the freezer compartment. We had to clean the refrigerator to use it. The oven was also so dirty that we couldn't use it. There was a lot of mold on the silicone in the shower tray. The toRead moreilet seat was only half attached, and the toilet wasn't clean. The cushions for the garden chairs were worn and dirty. There were still food scraps on the seats. The sofa was unusable because it was also dirty and worn. The entire house smelled musty despite intensive ventilation. So we found a hotel and moved out early. Hide

Airyolland is such a lovely cosy comfortable cottage, on the shores of Luce Bay. This is the second year we have stayed here with the dogs - the enclosed garden is perfect for them and we took our bikes this year as the cycling opportunities in the area are extensive!

Lovely peaceful holiday. Lovely cottage and the dogs loved their beach walks. This was our second stay at Airyolland and we will definitely be back.

Lovely location, lovely property, lovely weather as well. We spent a relaxing week just watching the sea, sitting and visiting local points. As well as some cycling around the local tracks and lanes. The house was well located and was warm and comfy. Lovely break.

Lovely cosy cottage. Enjoyed being so close to the beach. Set up our telescope in the sunroom to watch the seabirds flying by.

Airyolland is a great base for a part of Scotland we know very well. It was clean and warm but it is an old cottage. The garden is secure and safe for dogs. Its nice to sit in the sun room listening to the sea and watching The Mull of Galloway lighthouse in the distance. We had 3 incredibly clear nights so the stars were amazing, we could even maRead moreke out the Milky Way. The only thing I will say is that some of the pans/wok etc could do with being replaced as I used the wok one night and there were bits of black coating off the wok in the food which had to be binned. We enjoyed our stay non the less. Hide
