3-Bedroom Hot Tub Cottage in Kirkcolm

Nature surrounds you here: the cottage sits right beside this growing haven habitat designed especially for ground-nesting birds. A family of sea otters lives among the nearby rocks, and deer are known to wander through the garden in the early morning.

Dolphins are sometimes seen gliding across the bay, and seals may visit the nearby stones to rest or feed. Stranraer (7.5 miles) is home to the Castle of St John, built around 1500, where visitors can travel back in time.

Portpatrick (12 miles) is a picturesque seaside village well known as a tourist destination. For day trips, head to Logan Botanic Gardens (20.5 miles), Mull of Galloway (29 miles), Scotland's most Southerly Point, Wigtown, Scotland’s Book Town (33 miles), or Kirroughtree Forest (35 miles) with world-class mountain biking trails.

Add to this the region’s spectacular and pristine beaches, like Lady Bay, located within a scenic short walk from the cottage. Coastal paths and woodland walks begin directly from the property, offering endless opportunities for walking, swimming, cycling, and wildlife spotting.

Hidden away on Scotland’s southwest coast and accessed by a private driveway, this property offers something truly rare: the chance to live with the sea, not just look at it. Inside, the open-plan living area welcomes you with large windows framing endless sea views, a wood burner, a Smart TV, and comfortable seating for cosy evenings in.

An elegant rustic dining space flows seamlessly from the stylish contemporary kitchen. The adjoining garden room is a bright and playful retreat – complete with a football table, board games, books, LEGO and even a disco light.

The garden room also has a sofa bed that sleeps two additional guests. Three restful bedrooms comprise a king-size room with a free-standing bath facing the sea, a double room with an en-suite shower room, and a twin room with a TV.
