Cottage vacation rentals in Portpatrick

We had a lovely stay with our 3 dogs at heron view, we enjoyed the spacious living area and comfortable beds. The utility space was a great nook for the dogs if they were wet from walking. Lovely local pub (the Masonic) with friendly people and bar staff. The hot tub was a massive bonus! Thanks Donald We will be back!

Lovely place. Accurate pictures, though when you get there it feels even nicer than photos can show. Very friendly and responsive. Sometimes it can be quite a vulnerable experience travelling as an LGBTQIA+ couple, but here we felt welcome and safe. Hope to visit again with friends and family.

Mike was an excellent communicator from the start and very accommodating regarding our arrival time. He met us in person and is a very friendly and helpful host. His home made bread was delicious. His home cinema system is amazing with a fantastic selection of great films to watch on a large screen. The house is very well appointed and benefits from great natural light regardless of which room you are in. The garden, its shrubs, plants and flowers is amazing. A beautiful setting and the bird song is absolutely fantastic. The hot tub is a welcome additional if you want to relax in the beautiful garden with a glass of wine and take in the glorious views and garden. A very relaxing and peaceful stay in very homely accommodation. Mike is in the adjacent house if you need him but you have the feeling you are there all alone. Superb location if attending a wedding or other function at Tullyveery House. You just walk 500yards up the main drive. Perfect ,quiet location for a couple.

Remote and beautiful location surrounded by fine trees, masses of birds including house martens, geese and red kites. The house is spacious and comfortable with everything you need at hand. The children loved the friendly horses, the boat on the little lake, the games that were available and being able to run round outside. Adults enjoyed the quietness and the hot tub!

For what our group wanted it was perfect not a bad word to say about the place, perfect or group weekend away in the country side just what a place!

We had the perfect getaway with friends in this beautiful house by the sea. We were 4 adults and 3 young children and there was plenty of space for us all. There are lots of stairs which were difficult at times for the younger ones. But that didn’t take away from our stay. We got the hot tub which we thoroughly enjoyed once the kids were in bed. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect cottage, lovely scenery. Lots of local recommendations from the hosts. Well worth a stay

Despite the poor weather we had a great time at the Gate House. Chris was very friendly and helpful explaining all we needed to know to ensure we enjoyed ourselves. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. We loved the hot tub, even in the pouring rain! We hope to return in the future.

Lovely peaceful stay in beautiful grounds. Lots of walks on the private grounds including walk to their private beach. Very tranquil and special place. We did a few day trips including Ayr PortPatrick some local areas for nice restaurants. My son loves football and we went to see local town Stranraer play on his birthday and they won. We saw lots of deer and nature everywhere. Children loved the zip wire and there was a games room which we didn’t manage to get to. Kate and Angus couldn’t have been more helpful, lots of great recommendations and wonderful welcome hamper which was delicious and appreciated. Beautiful place and private grounds bigger than expected. We were sad to leave and miss the lovely scenery. Thanks so much for a memorable trip.

Very comfortable and spotlessly clean accommodation in a beautiful location. A very relaxing and peaceful stay, thank you.

Just arrived home after a great week in Girvan. We used the cottage as a base as we were visiting family and wanted our own space. The cottage was as described it was clean and comfortable. We had a rotten storm unfortunately and with the bedrooms being in the loft space it was a little noisy but obviously we can’t control the weather! We had everything we needed though and was warm and comfortable. The owner was very helpful and flexible to us possibly arriving a little early. Only small complaint was the small velux window in one bedroom let the light in quite early and we like it pitch black so maybe a blackout on those that don’t have them. Apart from that everything was lovely for a comfortable stay and very peaceful. 2 minute walk to a beautiful beach!

Very peaceful stay in a great location with stunning views right out the window. Great to explore the Ayrshire area, very close to the Burns birthplace museum, and to Ayr and local area. The hosts were very friendly over the phone, clear instructions for check-in and checkout and this place was the definition of getting exactly what you paid for with no surprises. The description on the listing, the photos and the T&C’s didn’t leave out anything. Only points for improvement: - the WiFi can be a bit slow - the kitchen has all cooking tools you might need but isn’t stocked with some essentials (salt, cooking oil, etc). Again, this was clear from reading the listing, but I can see how international travellers might find it inconvenient to have to buy certain items for their stay. Overall, a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend

Lovely little cottage, spotless and cosy, garden is a sun trap if you get lucky like we did and stay during good weather days! Ideal location being a short walk to the local pub or drive to the seaside, forest etc. The owner went out of her way to help us with a problem, would definitely come back!

Steen was a great host, fast to reply to questions and very helpful with regards to things to do in the area. The cottage is lovely, so cosy and really nicely decorated, comfy beds, nice linens and modern bathroom. The whole place was very clean and there were nice little touches for guests. It has absolutely everything you could want for a stay, we really couldn't fault anything. Whilst we didn't use it, the little annex out the back is charming, a great addition. The location is great, just across the road from the beach for lovely early morning walks or after dinner, we were lucky enough to have great weather so we were able to walk the dogs on the beach up until 10pm last night. There's a petrol station/shop about 5 minutes away that can provide basics if needed. The garden is worth a mention, planted with lovely bee friendly plants with 2 or 3 little areas to sit and have a glass of wine or dinner. Really secure for the dogs as well. We will definitely be back again.

Absolutely lovely wee cottage. Everything you could want or need for a couple of nights break. Wif was a bit hit and miss, mostly showing no internet connection but to us that appealed as we felt “ away from it all “. Would really recommend and love to visit again in the future. Thanks Neil

Excellent modern cottage on the outskirts of Gatehouse of Fleet, in the hills up to Galloway forest. A great retreat for quietness and to get away from it all. The hosts are excellent, this being on a farm it was nice to see the animals. Would love to be back someday. Enjoyed having 7 days of sun sitting on that patio.

Had a lovely - albeit brief - stay at the cottage. Was perfect for my family, great set up and Debbie was very friendly and helpful. Would certainly stay again next time in the area.

Nice clean and comfortable, good location for what we needed.

Great place to stay; peaceful, comfortable and relaxing.

we had a wonderful stay in stunning surroundings. The property was perfect for us, just wish we had more time there!

We had a wonderful few days in Anne’s delightful courtyard cottage. I have very limited mobility, so it was great being able to drive my mobility scooter up the short ramp right to the front door. Once inside, everything is on one level, although as it used to be outbuildings for the main house, the floors are a little uneven. The rooms are beautifully furnished, and the kitchen was possibly the best equipped we’ve ever had, with plenty of Pyrex dishes, baking trays, crockery, cutlery, foil, tea towels etc. Anne is a very thoughtful and helpful host, and had left slippers and dressing gowns for us, as well as a packet of biscuits. I have multiple chemical sensitivities, and really appreciated Anne airing the cottage, and using the minimum of cleaning products ( whilst still keeping everywhere spotless). We both enjoyed sitting in the sunny courtyard, and I loved curling up in the window seat, watching the birds and red squirrels on the feeders, and rabbits and deer in the field. Super!

My son and I stayed at the cottage for 4 nights whilst we went to watch the Open golf at Troon. It was a lovely, peaceful location to return home to, to relax after long days walking round the golf course. The cottage is well equipped and situated in the beautiful grounds of Cloncaird Castle - stunning.

It was imply the best ABNB we have ever stayed. You can’t say enough about the design and comforts provided. The kitchen had everything you need, the living area was so inviting and wonderfully decorated. The bedroom was so nice and the bed amazingly comfortable. Bathroom was inviting for a hot shower and beautiful! We even had a nice tv in the living room area to watch some local channels. So wonderful. Louise even went out of her way to provide my wife some gluten free items to make her stay that more pleasant. Top notch host and location !

The cottage was a great, very comfortable and pleasant space. A good mix of new and old with everything I needed. A great nights sleep, after checking the starlit sky. Highly recommend for a quiet get away.
