2 Bedroom Cottage in Whithorn

Perfectly peaceful, this idyllic cabin is tucked away on a working farm in the picturesque hamlet of Portyerrock. Rocky Portyerrock Beach is only a 250-metre stroll, and the surrounding area is brimming with opportunities for adventure, from cycling peaceful country lanes to wandering through ancient woodlands. There are miles of scenic coastal paths to explore and, for wildlife enthusiasts, the coast and countryside offer plenty of chances to spot seals, seabirds and other native creatures. Head to Isle of Whithorn (1.5 miles), a former seaport with great character, and see the 13th-century ruins of St Ninian’s Chapel, perhaps followed by a trip to St Ninian’s Cave (5.5 miles), an important pilgrimage site. As well as charming villages and towns to discover, numerous historical landmarks dot the peninsula. If you have green fingers, stunning Galloway House Gardens is just 6.5 miles away.

Sleeping up to two adults and two children, the timber-clad, single-storey cabin makes a wonderful family escape or romantic retreat. There’s one step up from the deck and into the welcoming, open-plan living space, featuring soft textures, ambient lighting and natural timber. Here, you’ll find a choice of plush seating, perfect for unwinding with a good book, a show on the Smart TV or simply sitting back and admiring the sea view. The compact kitchen area is equipped with a two-ring hob and combination microwave/oven/grill – all you’ll need to create tasty holiday treats – and there’s a dining space that’s ideal for either family meals or intimate gatherings. The master bedroom features a king-size bed (with limited, under-bed storage), while a separate space with 2’6” bunk beds is perfect for children. A generously sized shower room ensures a refreshing start to your days.

Through the patio doors, a private deck offers seating for four, making this the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee or an al fresco meal, or to soak in the stunning surroundings. For added indulgence, the wood-fired hot tub invites you to unwind under the sunlit sky or a canopy of stars. As night falls, festoon lights and colour-changing uplighters transform the space into a magical retreat for all ages. You’ll also have access to a shared garden with seating and a fire pit. Making getting around easy, parking is provided for one car.
