Please note: The sea front is 30 yards away.. Situated only yards from the shoreline, this spacious, detached cottage has fantastic views over the sea to the Mull of Galloway and the Isle of Man. West Barr Cottage has a private garden and direct access to the beach. Known as the Machars of Galloway the area boasts a stunning coastline with amazing cliff top walks. These include Burrow Head, famed for being the location of the closing scene in the cult movie ‘The Wicker Man’, to the Isle of Whithorn, a walk well worth the effort. There are beaches galore to explore, everything from sandy to rugged rocky beaches. The Mull of Galloway is home to the RSPB Nature Reserve and is part of a much larger Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation for its seabirds, plants and coastal habitats. Here you can see many species of birdlife, the cliffs being home to guillemots, razorbills and kittiwakes, while ravens and peregrine falcons are regularly seen around the cliffs. Out to sea there are dolphins, porpoise and minke whale to spot and tours can also be taken from the lighthouse. There are many historical areas of interest to visit and the Whithorn Visitor Centre is a mine of information. The area is a walkers and cyclists paradise with the Southern Upland Way passing close by and offering everything from gentle walks to challenging hikes. The town of Stranraer is 20 miles and offers shops, restaurants and pubs and the town of Newton Stewart is also 20 miles away in the opposite direction. There are many coastal villages to explore, and sea fishing, golf and horse riding are all available locally. Day trips to Ireland can be taken from Cairnryan. Beach 30 yards. Shop and restaurant 2 miles, pub 5 miles.
West Barr Cottage can be booked together with West Barr Farmhouse (UK5766) to accommodate up to 12 guests.

This is a really lovely cottage in a beautiful location very close to the sea shore.

This is a really lovely cottage in a beautiful location very close to the sea shore. It is comfortable, clean, and well equipped with everything I could have wanted, and the owners are very nice people. The one thing I might possibly suggest is to upgrade the free Wifi service provided, so that you can stream video. To be fair that is a very minor niggle, and my phone internet worked really well anyway. The area is a little-known gem too, it is wonderfully scenic and very peaceful, and is much less crowded than some of the more popular tourist areas in Scotland. If you love peace and quiet, you will not find a better place. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Located right by the sea with beautiful views.

Located right by the sea with beautiful views. Next to a road but still very quiet. A very cozy cottage. Lovely and clean with a well equipped kitchen. We stayed over Christmas and it was perfect. Not for those who want nightlife, entertainment or restaurants on your doorstep, but if you want peace and quiet this is the place to go. The beach is not sandy, it’s very rocky, but only about 30yards from the door. Would certainly recommend. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Excellent holiday location with good local amenities.

Excellent holiday location with good local amenities. Port William only a short drive from cottage has Spar shop and a petrol station, there was also plenty of village activities ranging from classic/vintage car rally to lifeboat excursions. On a Thursday there is two vans that come round with fish and meat. Only downside to the cottage facilities, which could be easily solved is the lack of a freezer.

A very well equipped and comfortable cottage, in an excellent location.

A very well equipped and comfortable cottage, in an excellent location. Ideal for people looking for a relaxing holiday. We enjoyed watching the wildlife, including a heron, otters, badgers and hares. Would highly recommend this cottage. One criticism, although a freezer was mentioned in the details of the cottage we failed to track it down. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
