The cottage is spacious and bright with a large double bedroom, with adjoining dressing room; generous sized single bedroom and a sunroom where it is ideal to enjoy the sunset, while relaxing over a jigsaw on the large table or reading, while the living room is inviting once the sun has set. Knock Cottage is situated opposite a ½ mile single track road leading to two fantastic beaches and St Medan nine-hole Golf Course which is overlooked by Gavin Maxwell’s memorial bronze otter on the cliff top and provides fantastic views over Lucy Bay to the Isle of Mull Lighthouse, or further afield to the Isle of Man and Ireland beyond. Nestled and hidden between the quiet beach and Gavin Maxwell’s Otter is the ancient church and church yard of Kirkmaiden. Knock Cottage is located close the working harbour village of Port William, with a licenced grocery shop, post-office, old-fashioned ironmongers and the locally volunteered Lifeboat Café, which provides wonderful sea views. Wigtown, Scotland’s Book Town is a place to visit for book lovers of all ages. Many properties have opened their front parlours to accommodate thousands of books. Wigtown also hosts the annual book festival attracting many famous authors. Whilst the Machars benefits from the warmth of the passing Gulf Stream and hosts various Gardens, a trip to Logan Royal Botanical Gardens is a must with its many exotic plants and trees. The 200 year old, newly renovated lowlands whisky distillery near Wigtown offers tours and café. Enjoy the rugged coast line, sandy beaches and many walks close by, with cycling at the 7 Stanes Galloway Forest park, along with many lochs to explore only a short drive away. The Whithorn Way, a newly mapped walking path follows much of the westerly pilgrimage route which has been travelled on for over 1000 years, along with archaeological sites close by. Knock Cottage is a fantastic base to explore all South West Scotland has to offer or simply to relax and unwind in an area where time stands still. There is a winter fuel supplement of £25 per week £15 per short break from October to end of April payable in cash on arrival. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Towels provided ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Single level property - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Things to do - Golfing nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102120000/102110500/102110461/3c8c49ae.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Larroch, near Whithorn Larroch, near Whithorn - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Outdoor space - Parking available 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-28&endDate=2025-12-29&selected=102110461&PinnedHotelID=102110461&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120650000/120640500/120640486/4d4189f5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Larroch Byre - a bungalow that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms Monreith - Washer - Outdoor space - Parking available - Microwave [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-28&endDate=2025-12-29&selected=120640486&PinnedHotelID=120640486&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102120000/102116600/102116523/a4f8b6aa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Larroch Farm House - UK46254 Larroch, near Whithorn - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-28&endDate=2025-12-29&selected=102116523&PinnedHotelID=102116523&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, dishwasher, high chair](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120650000/120640500/120640483/8aec67c7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Larroch Farmhouse - a house that sleeps 10 guests in 5 bedrooms Monreith - Sea view - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-28&endDate=2025-12-29&selected=120640483&PinnedHotelID=120640483&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36190000/36189000/36188954/9784dfeb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Haven nestling in an idyllic setting on the shore of Luce Bay in Galloway a Wigtownshire - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-28&endDate=2025-12-29&selected=36188954&PinnedHotelID=36188954&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Oven, dishwasher, high chair, freezer](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/60000000/59910000/59905700/59905601/efde729e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Whithorn Whithorn - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-28&endDate=2025-12-29&selected=59905601&PinnedHotelID=59905601&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Oven, dishwasher, freezer](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73520000/73517900/73517852/578e8812.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A superb 4 bedroomed cottage with glorious gardens and stunning sea views.
