Amazing base for a family holiday

The property is well appointed, spacious and comfortable. A large family can enjoy the house and gardens without getting on top of each other. The surrounding area kept us entertained and the host was very welcoming and extremely helpful. This was our second visit and it's likely we'll be back again in the future!

Stunning Location, Beautiful House!

Stunning location and the house was beautiful and had everything we needed to make this a memorable family trip. Some lovely walks in the area and the local pub, which allows dogs, was only a 5 minute walk down the path from the house. Lorraine, the owner, couldn't have been more helpful and gave use some great tips on some places to visit during our stay. If visiting the area again, we would definitely re-book to stay here.

Fantastic property

The house exceeded our expectations. It was just perfect for our family get together. Three generations, with ages ranging from 7 to 78, and we all loved it. The hot tub was well used and we had a lovely meal in The Harbour Inn.

Park Cottage; Spacious, clean well situated with hot tub, games room, extensive gardens with sea views. The owners Lorraine and Robin were attentive and helpful providing many extra facilities. Harbour Inn and coffee shop near by served excellent meals. Highly recommended.

Park Cottage

Park Cottage is a beautiful house full of character, with views of the sea and surrounding countryside. The house was spotlessly clean when we arrived with the hot tub heated and ready to get in (there is a distance from the house to the hot tub across the large garden, so remember to bring your flip flops). We stayed for a week, there are plenty of walks nearby and a pub a few minutes away. A quiet place to relax for a week and we left fully refreshed.

Lovely Property in a lovely part of the world

We had a fantastic time at Park Cottage and Lorraine was a super host. There’s plenty of space and it’s was perfect for us as a group of friends. The property is amazing and the hot tub, overlooking the sea, was perfect after a long day out exploring. Saw seals in nearby Rigg Bay, swam at Mossyard, cycled at Kirroughtree, had a dram (or two) at Bladnoch. Would we stay again. 100% yes. Beautiful house in a beautiful part of the world.

The perfect place to reconnect with family

We have spent a wonderful week with extended family, getting together after the pandemic prevented us from travelling. Park Cottage provided a spectacular home base for days out exploring the natural beauty, history and culture of Galloway. We enjoyed a couple of evenings sitting in the new cabin, watching the ever-changing sea view, sipping a glass of wine while the sun set. Our hosts Lorraine and Robin went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable, and addressed any issues immediately with kindness and grace. We would not hesitate to recommend it as a lovely, comfortable home-away-from-home.

Just perfect!

Just back from a wonderful stay at Park Cottage. With a first class customer service, the cottage was spotless and very well equipped. We'd go as far as to say it was one of the nicest, most welcoming holiday properties we've ever stayed in! The grounds were fantastic for children, dogs and adults alike and we enjoyed late evenings in the hot tub. We saw deer in the garden in the morning. The house was just amazing and a very strong wifi connection kept us all happy on the rare occasions when needing to check "back in with the world!". We're all relaxed and was sorry to leave. We can't wait to come back. Just perfect!

Idyllic

Had a wonderful week at Park Cottage in June. Fabulous cottage with so much to see and do on the doorstep. Visited Galloway Forest - beautiful, Wigtown - very interesting, walks down to local beach - great for the dogs who had a whale of time. Highly recommend The Harbour Inn - food was fabulous. Cottage had so m much to offer - fire pit was great, summer house ideal, walks on doorstep. Did not get chance to use hot tub or games room as not enough time - will have to go back for definite. Any questions we had were instantly answered by the lovely host, Lorraine. In one word - FABULOUS!

Enchanting house in stunning location

We enjoyed our week at Park Cottage immensely. On arrival the cottage was immaculately clean and beautifully presented with a basket of locally sourced treats to welcome us. Everything about the cottage is very special; the quality and comfort of the accommodation, the wonderful period details, the large, private garden and the stunning views. So much thought has gone into the renovation of the cottage - the owners really have thought of everything! Despite the peaceful location it’s only a short walk down the drive to Garlieston and The Harbour Inn which serves great beer and food. We spent relaxing evenings in the hot tub or around the fire pit, both of which overlook the sea. It really was a week to remember and we would love to return one day.

Annual family holiday

We have been taking our children and grandchildren on a holiday yearly for at least 17 years. Park Cottage has been one of the best. Park Cottage is a beautiful house with lots of original features. It's in a perfect location lovely walks beaches and within driving distance of some lovely villages. We visited Galloway alpaca experience for our granddaughters b'day and highly recommend this. Loranine has equipped Park Cottage with everything you'd need for a great self catering break. The hotub with amazing views and the newly finished summer house is wonderful. Lorraine is very quick to respond to any questions or requirements we had. Also recommend the Harbour Inn and the fish and chip van that parks near the community centre on a Wednesday.

We stayed for a week with family and friends to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday, and what a way to celebrate! The house was absolutely beautiful, extremely clean and catered for every need. We made full use of the hot tub, with its beautiful view over the bay and had a lovely evening toasting marshmallows over the fire pit. The house is also in a great postion, with easy access to the coastal path and to the village. We really couldn't have asked for a better place to spend a very special holiday. Thank you for having us.

The Perfect Holiday!

From the moment we arrived we realised that we were in a very special house in a wonderful environment. We had the best family holiday ever with lots to do in the area from mountain biking to the gem museum at Creetown. The weather was sunny but with a chill wind but that did not deter excellent use of the Hot Tub and cabin with its stunning view.
