Monreith is a tiny hamlet on the coast a few miles along from Port William, known as the ‘Machars of Galloway’ where there is a village shop, restaurant, and café. This area of Dumfries and Galloway boasts rugged coastlines and secluded sandy beaches, which benefit from the warmth of the passing Gulf Stream and only a short stroll will take you down to Monreith Beach, a long, wide, sandy beach backed by cliffs and when the weather is fine, its perfect for swimming or fishing throughout the year. The kids will love exploring the many rock pools as well as many exciting caves along the coast. Surrounded by breath taking scenery explore the whole area, known as the Machars Peninsula and the surrounding Galloway Hills. There are many beautiful gardens to visit, including the world-renowned Logan Botanical Gardens, with its many exotic plants and trees. A trip along the coast there any many quaint little villages such as Sandhead, Portpatrick and the Isle of Whithorn. A visit to the Mull of Galloway, Scotland’s most southerly point and home to the RSPB nature reserve, where thousands of seabird’s nests on the cliff face during spring and summer is a must and on a fine day the views are simply stunning. With its quiet country roads, the area is perfect for cycling and for the Golfers amongst you St Medans is quite literally just across the road and is a family friendly 9-hole course on the shores of Luce Bay.

An absolute beautiful property, with a fabulous safe dog friendly garden.
An absolute beautiful property, with a fabulous safe dog friendly garden. The cottage is really big, it's a brilliant kitchen, dining area in the conservatory and large comfy lounge. Bedrooms were lovely and the shower was excellent. Very very peaceful area. Local amenities were lacking as there are no shops or hostelries for a few miles, however this can be a godsend to those seeking peace.
