Uninterrupted views of the sea and surrounded by Galloways stunning rugged cliffs. With direct access to the beach. The owners house sits directly behind the holiday cottage and are very friendly and extremely helpful. The cottage which was originally a bothy was very well equipped, clean and cosy, WiFi was poor and didn’t work at all but that didn’t bother us, being in such an amazing place!! ##### Chris S.
