Accommodation overview: The lovely cottage is a former coach house and laundry to the adjoining 18 century Dunragit House and estate. At one time the house belonged to John Charles Cuninghame, 17th Laird of Craigends in Renfrewshire and in 1919 the estate came up for sale and the following is an extract from the London Times, December 6, 1919 "...... the sporting, residential and agricultural estate of Dunragit, in the county of Wigtown, extending to an area of about 7438 acres, and including DUNRAGIT HOUSE and policies, Factor's house, estate cottages, 20 valuable farms, capital grouse and salmon and sea trout fishing in the river Luce for a distance of 41 miles. DUNRAGIT HOUSE, situated in well timbered policies, over-drawing room. library, billiard room, 12 principal bed and dressing rooms, 11 servants bed rooms, four bathrooms, with attics and ample domestic offices'. The name Dunragit, means the fort of Rheged one of the ancient kingdoms of Britain and the area is steeped in history from standing stones to ancient fortresses and strongholds. The local area is known as the Rhins which is relatively unspoilt and has remained unchanged for centuries. The Old Coach House just oozes charm and character from every room. The charming but cosy sitting room is a perfect vantage point for intimate glimpses of the local wildlife. Resident red squirrels have taken over the garden and if you're lucky you may also catch a glimpse of a deer or buzzard. For those green fingered guests, Glenwhan Gardens is virtually next door. This twelve acre site was inspired by the Logan Botanic Garden and Tresco on the Isles of Scilly. The gardens of Dumfries and Galloway are blessed with a climate unusual within Scotland, from the palm fringed west coast to the secluded walled gardens further east. The area is touched by the Gulf Stream and tropical plants flourish in abundance. The area boasts some lovely beaches including Auchenmalg and Sandhead and there you will find peace and serenity in the company of gulls and oyster catchers. The Mull of Galloway is at the most southerly tip of Scotland and on a clear day you can see across to Ireland and to the Lake District fells. Port Logan is where the BBC's 2000 Acres of Sky was filmed and the lovely fishing village of Portpatrick is also within easy reach. The area has stunningly beautiful walks for every ability and for those who wish to reach the summits then the Galloway Hills are surprisingly challenging, remote and devoid of people! You will never be at a loss for things to do here whatever the time of year. There are festivals of snowdrops, wildlife, walking, arts and film. Kirkcudbright has a superb range of events throughout the Summer including Scottish Nights. The highly acclaimed Spring Fling is an annual art and craft open studio event Property has open fire and very cosy wood burning stove.

Accommodation overview: Kirkhill Cottage is located in the small village of Stoneykirk only 6 miles from Stranraer and set in the heart of the Rhins of Galloway. This delightful peninsula is both unspoilt and unpolluted which adds to its attraction for both wildlife and visitors alike. The area is thought to be the least developed and most natural coastlines in the British Isles with its spectacular coastal scenery, rugged cliffs and offshore islands. Along the shoreline rocky bays alternate with sandy beaches. This is an ideal base for exploring the forests and the Rhins, which boasts a wealth of bird life and wild flowers. The sporting enthusiast is particularly well catered for with green bowling, several golf courses, pony trekking, world class mountain biking and miles of hill walking. The area has an excellent choice of beautiful sandy beaches, notably Sandhead which stretches for more than a mile and New England Bay where early risers may catch sight of a wonderful sunrise! From the North Channel overlooking Ireland to the east overlooking Luce Bay this land offers a special beauty and in corners protected from the winds, subtropical gardens flourish due to the influence of the Gulf Stream. It is amazing to see cabbage palms and fascinating plants from the south seas flourishing in the gardens of Port Logan and Ardwell. It is an area steeped in history and the stones at Kirkmadrine are amongst the oldest artefacts in Scotland. Highly recommended is a visit to the Logan Fish Pond which was created over 200 years ago as a fish larder. There are now touch pools, a cave aquarium and a Victorian Bathing Hut. The nearby pretty village of Port Logan is where the BBC's "Two Thousand Acres of Sky" was filmed. The coastline is a sea angler's paradise with over 130 species of fish being recorded in the area. Perched high on top of the cliffs is the Mull of Gallway Lighthouse which is the most southerly point in Scotland. Take a ferry trip from Stranraer to Ireland for the day. A stay in the South Rhins is never complete without a visit to the jewel in the crown, Portpatrick, with its beautiful harbour setting and a view across to the Mountains of Mourne across the water in Ireland.
