Shell Cottage

Perfect for families or groups of friends, this seaside retreat sleeps six and offers plenty of space both inside and out. Its position on the edge of Portyerrock Bay makes it ideal for those who love the sea – whether that's wild swimming, coastal walks, or simply relaxing with the view.

The nearby Isle of Whithorn (1.5 miles) is a charming harbour village with cafes and history, while the wider Machars Peninsula boasts peaceful walking routes, birdwatching and scenic drives. Culture lovers can visit the Whithorn Trust Visitor Centre (2.5 miles) to explore the area’s early Christian heritage, and there are numerous quiet beaches and hidden coves to discover along the coastline.

This welcoming, single-level cottage opens into a practical entrance area with space for coats and boots, leading through to a well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast area and everything needed for a self-catering stay. From here, the home flows into a cosy sitting room, complete with comfortable seating, a Smart TV and an electric wood-burner-effect fire for relaxed evenings in.

One of the standout features is the large sun lounge/conservatory. With wraparound windows and doors opening onto the garden, it's a bright, sociable room with a dining table and seating positioned to make the most of the sea views.

A hallway leads to three bedrooms: a spacious master with a super king-size bed and patio doors opening directly onto the garden with vistas across the bay, and two twin rooms that are ideal for children or friends sharing. The family bathroom includes a bath with a shower over, offering flexibility for all guests.

Outside, the property really comes into its own. The enclosed garden features a patio area, outdoor seating and a fire pit, along with a wood-fired hot tub perfectly positioned for enjoying the coastal outlook.
