"The perfect setting for getting away from city life."
Comfy cottage with everything we needed. The weather was on our side so we could fully enjoy the amazing walks, scenery and fresh air. The local pub was top notch, quality food and award winning beer. Our fourth consecutive year in this area and we'll definitely be back for many more!

"A lovely house in a beautiful location with harbour views to the front and sea views from the rear."
We could never tire of that wonderful ever changing vista from the back garden! The house itself was well appointed and the owner (Lyn) personally greeted us on arrival and made us feel immddiately at home. Looking at future availibility it is obvious this is a very popular property with entries in the guest book from repeat visitors. We loved our stay and felt very reluctant to leave but as Arnie once said ‘we’ll be back’
Thank you. It was a pleasure to meet you both, you’re welcome back anytime. Property Owner

"A fabulous wee house in the most beautiful location."
The Isle of Whithorn is a very special place and the Pink House is the perfect place to stay to enjoy all that the area has to offer. Lyn is is a super landlady and on hand to help if necessary. This was our second visit to the Pink House and we are booked in again later in the year. Gorgeous!
Thank you. I’m delighted you enjoyed your stay. See you soon. Property Owner

"Absolutely lovely cottage which had everything we wanted."
It was Christmas and the owner left us Christmas gifts, which was a lovely touch. Fantastic views both from and back. Would not hesitate to go again.
It was lovely to meet you and thank you for your kind words. You are welcome back anytime. Property Owner

"Great location."
While appreciating our booking was in November, the cottage was very cold, especially the kitchen. The storage heaters seemed to have little effect, again particularly in the kitchen. We couldn't sit to eat in the kitchen due to the cold. The log burner didn't seem to produce the sort of heat we expected and we went through at least one bag of logs per evening. There was mould around the bath and on the tile grouting. I actually bought spray mould buster to deal with this. A lovely place for the summer, but too cold for us for a winter break.
-
"Just home from a very relaxing week break at the lovely cottage."
Fantastic location, easy to park as was very quiet. Great walks from the door. House was very clean for our arrival. Slept well. Spacious. Appreciated the milk in fridge and teas, coffee etc to get us started and the fresh flowers. Hope to return to explore more of area. Thank you for letting us use your lovely cottage.
I’m delighted you had a good holiday. Thank you for your lovely words. Hope to see you again. Property Owner

"Fabulously quaint quiet get-away."
Everything you need to hand. Great hosts who had thought of everything to make our day as comfortable as possible. Great location. Would visit again.
-
"The shower difficult to regulate,and some sort of hand rail or support in the shower for the elderly."
Otherwise a nice cottage.

Modern well equipped kitchen.

"This was a wonderful holiday."
A beautiful cottage and a beautiful location. The owner was extremely helpful and her attention to detail was much appreciated. We all thoroughly enjoyed our time here and felt sad to leave. There are some amazing walks and stunning scenery. It was a peaceful and restful holiday. The garden was fully enclosed so our dog could roam outside without any worries. The local people were very friendly and the pub, 2 minutes walk away served excellent food and their own brewed beers. Also the local community cafe, 5 minutes walk away was extremely good.
Thank you Property Owner
-
"We loved our stay in The Pink House."
Perfect for two adults and dog. Extremely comfortable in every way. Great to meet Lyn, the hostess, and chat about the history of the house and the charm of the area. Also very convenient to be able to park outside the front door. Best feature is sea view front and rear and enclosed rear garden with colourful bushes and amazing palm tree. Unbeatable! Highly recommend!
-
"The Pink House is a gem, its location unparalleled."
The Sunrise alone is worth every penny. Lyn is an attentive and knowledgeable host. Our second visit and more planned.
-
"What a fantastic cottage to stay in."
Spotlessly clean,comfortable cozy cottage in a tranquil location. The views from the back garden only beaten by the views from the front. Cottage is fully equipped with everything you need.and the owner is a phone call away if needed. Highly recommend the Steam packet Inn. Food it fantastic.
-
"The Pink House is a charming and comfortable cottage."
It is very well equipped and the friendly and very helpful owner was quick to act when there was a problem with the hot water. The house is in a great place in the centre of the village, just a short stroll from the cafe or the pub. The little rear garden is very peaceful with comfortable furniture and only the sound of the sea. A place we want to return to.
-
"Excellent communication and help from Lyn."
A lovely house in a beautiful setting. We wouldn’t hesitate to return. The weather was amazing too!
-
"The Pink House was perfect."
I cannot put in to words what a fabulous cottage this is in such an gorgeous setting. We have booked it again twice, for next year.
-
"A fantastic place."
-
"Just back from a lovely week in this comfortable property."
The owner was lovely and friendly and was close by if we needed anything. The bed was comfortable and we slept very well and we found everything we needed in the kitchen to make it easy to feed ourselves. The views front and back are great and the garden was safe for our 2 little dogs St Ninians tea room and the steam packet both serve tasty food and are worth a visit. Would definitely stay again
-
"A lovely location and a comfortable cottage."
I especially appreciated the good quality mattress and pillows, ensured I slept well during our stay. Fresh flowers, coffee, tea and biscuits a nice touch too.
-
"Lovely cottage, lovely area, lack of shopping in area, if you arrive at the 5pm entrance and have not brought groceries with you you have a problem, as there are no shops nearby, might be worth mentioning, or even to offer a basic starter pack."
-
"A lovely house in a beautiful setting."
A great place for walking with views over the sea, and sightings of wildlife (seals, dolphins, birds and flowers.) We will return in the future.
-
"All in all a lovely stay."
Great to look out and see the sea at the bottom of the garden, and the birds eating on the feeder. We enjoyed walking to the end of the street to the headland for our evening walk with our dogs. The cottage may be getting ready for a little updating, but this didn’t stop us having a lovely week and the weather was kind to us as well. Would return again in the future.
-
"The cottage was very cosy and considering the awful weather warm as well."
I'm not a fan of storage heaters but these worked very well and the bedroom in particular was lovely and warm. The views front and back are marvellous. We had a car problem on arrival and Lyn, the owner, couldn't have been more helpful in getting us additional fuel for the stove. we'd certainly recommend the Pink House .
-
"Lovely spacious cottage with beautiful view front and back of the sea"
-
"The cottage was excellent."
Very comfortable and great facilities. Owners were friendly and very helpful. Cottage is in a great location and perfect for walks from your doorstep. Nice pub just along the road. All in all everything we needed to have a great holiday thanks.
-
"What a lovely village and the Pink House was superb, lovely setting with lovely views both front and back."
also a pub within 30 Metres from the doorstep serving fantastic food, all of which made our stay very very nice Thank You
-
"Lovely cottage in a great location."
Due to the weather being very poor (!) we did spend a lot of time in the cottage and it was cosy and comfortable. The bed and bedding was amazing (where are the pillows from??) and the addition of the washing machine and tumble dryer was much appreciated following several wet and windy walks! Wi fi excellent too. We wanted a relaxing Christmas break which is exactly what we got Thank you!
-
"We've stayed 3 times now, the sofas are uncomfortable and not enough logs left."
It is very clean but it does feel rundown now, the window in the main bedroom is broken and the storage heaters are not enough. Someone left feedback about a lamp in the kitchen to make it cosy and cosy is what it needs. Sorry Lyn.
Many thanks for your feedback. I am glad that you find the cleanliness to be up to standard. It's a shame that you didn't contact us during your stay regarding the other comments. The window has not been fixed I would like to offer reassurance that the window does open from the top and bottom. If you wish to discuss your feedback further, please do not hesitate to contact us.

"Lovely cottage in a great location, the log burner at that time of year was a must for night time as the high winds were whistling through the letter box, and the storage heaters were running out of heat by night time, The lounge settees could have done with having larger bases and higher backs for more comfort."
The bed was extremely comfy, and overall the cottage has all you need for a relaxing holiday with lovely walks straight from the front door.
-
"We had a lovely stay, very comfortable cottage with wonderful views."
The only suggestion We would make, would be a floor lamp by the dining room table. This would enable the main kitchen light to be put out, making the dining area cosier.
Thank you this is a lovely idea. Property Owner
-
"Of all the cottages we have stayed in over the last few years, this one is one we would love to call 'home'."
The feel of the cottage, the views and the surrounding area were just 'right'. We would not hesitate to recommend this lovely cottage to anyone.
-
"We had an excellent week at the Pink house which was helped by having great weather all week."
The cottage is very nice and is a perfect base from which to explore the area. The cottage is in an ideal location by the harbour and a only few steps to and from the local pub. There is also a lovely tearoom in the village which serves very nice breakfasts. We had nice walks around the Isle of Whithorn area, and in Garlieston to and from Rigg bay. It’s a beautiful area and we will definitely be back.
-
"Absolutely fabulous week loved it"
-
"Very nice and helpful owner"
-
"What a lovely cottage."
Just what we wanted. It was a perfect base for walking and sightseeing. The location is gorgeous. Hope to return in the future.
-
"Stunning location and a lovely cottage."
-
"Excellent cottage right on the fishing harbour and within a few steps of the beautiful Steam Packet Inn."
Loved the log burner, and also the back garden overlooking to sea and hills. We did a fantastic walk to Garlieston on the coastal path, and other coastal walks and saw a mountain hare, even saw seals bathing on rocks in the distance too. Would highly recommend.
-
"Beautiful, well equipped cottage with lots of thoughtful touches."
Idyllic setting with stunning views from dawn till dusk front and back. Delightful village with excellent community shop, cafe and pub / inn. We ate well, walked plenty, rested much and will be back!
-
"We had a lovely stay at the Pink House."
It was a great cottage with stunning views. We had fabulous weather and had lovely meals at the local pub. We hope to return one day.

"Only thing wrong storage heater not working in main bedroom so no heat in it and ..."
Only thing wrong storage heater not working in main bedroom so no heat in it and during Feb is a needed was a small heater in single room to use but would mean a lot of moving from room to room
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear the storage heater wasn't working for you stay, and we can confirm that this has now been repaired. If we'd have been informed of the issue, we could've rectified during your stay, however we do thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We hope to welcome you again. Property Owner

"A perfect property whether for a holiday or to live in permanently."
It is in a great position on the Isle. The Owner is extremely thoughtful, and there if you need her for anything.
-
"Amazing settling."
View of the sea from both sides of the house. Would sit in the window of the front bedroom with a cup of tea and watch the sunset over the harbour or in the kitchen of an evening and see the moon come up
-
"I stayed in the Pink House with my two dogs over the New year."
The holiday itself is an absolute gem - it’s beautiful inside & very cosy. The view from the back garden is unlike anything you could imagine! It was so lovely to get up every morning and stand and look out onto the ocean. The location of the house is also excellent for a base to explore the nearby beaches, forests and villages. The owner’s communication was also excellent & she was very kind to offer help if I needed anything when I told her I’d be staying alone as my friend caught covid before the trip. I’ll definitely be back!
-
"Excellent will be back."
So relaxing.
-
"The cottage was ideal for us ( couple and friend ) and our guide dog puppy The views were stunning and the cottage was comfortable with everything we needed for our stay The log burner was easy using the thoughtfully provided instructions and effective in providing additional warmth as well as creating a lovely atmosphere We enjoyed walks on the Machar beaches and eating out ."
We will definitely book again
-
"All satisfactory Only downbeat was that there was no background heat on our first evening."
Night store electric heating not activated on the evening prior to our arrival It was cold and not a good start to our holiday Thankfully we were able to resolve this matter for the rest of our stay and to set the controls for heat for any incoming guests such that they would not be disappointed in this respect on there first evening
-
"Would have liked a wardrobe other than that spot on and owner a really nice ..."
Would have liked a wardrobe other than that spot on and owner a really nice person the area fantastic and pub serves excellent food and it's own micro brewery beer wine over priced
-
"I loved the Pink House."
An old cottage with metre thick walls and lots of character in a lovely peaceful village. As such I expect it to show a few signs of ageing in places but it has all we needed with a modern fully equipped kitchen and the rest of the house is as described plus it does now have wifi. The owner who lives nearby was very prompt and helpful over a minor issue about bedding. Excellent food and their own brewed ales at The (dog friendly) Steam Packet a few steps away and the best fish and chips and their own ice cream from the Central Cafe in Whithorn. A good holiday all round.
-
"Beautiful cottage in a fantastic location."
Fabulous host, who gave us advice about the area. Excellent kitchen facilities which allowed us to cook for ourselves throughout our stay. We had a very relaxing break and would love to return in future.
-
"Just a beautiful cottage in an idyllic location."
Absolutely loved the peace and tranquility of the cottage and none of us wanted to leave! Thank you!
-
"We loved the location and the accommodation."
The only reason I didn’t give Excellent for facilities is that there is no hanging space for clothes, other than hook on the back of bedroom door. That really isn’t enough.
-
"Second stay in the pink house lovely quiet area."
House is comfortable gardens enclosed but could do with a tidy .The village has a pub,tearooms and small shop.
-
"This was our 2nd stay at the Pink House, we enjoy"
-
"Lovely cottage in a lovely setting,only let down by the poor shower and insufficient heating ."
-
"Lovely little cottage overlooking the harbour and a view of the sea at the back of the house."
So peaceful, a proper get away from it all break. Close to the pub and cafe and a couple of walks from the door. Highly recommended visiting Wigtown, great for book shops. Galloway House and Gardens for a wander, lovely beach that is really quiet.
-
"Lovely place with Seaview out back and harbour out front bar 1 minute walk nice ..."
Lovely place with Seaview out back and harbour out front bar 1 minute walk nice dog walks around lovely bar meals from steam packet loved sitting out front a bar having drink pink house was lovely house to stay in and if carlsberg did back gardens this is definitely one of them managed to fish over back wall when tide was in with little extendable rod caught a few ballan wrasse
-
"The Pink House is a lovely cottage."
The views from the front and back were fantastic. Very spacious. The Steam Packet pub is very welcoming and food is amazing. However cottage does need a few tweaks. Shower needs replacing as the water just trickles out. The settee has seen better days very worn.
Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you had a good stay but sorry you found issues with the shower and sofa. The shower was checked after your stay by a plumber as it seemed to be working before. They advised that the dial has been turned too far which has shredded the screw to control the temperature so the shower has now been fully replaced. Apologies for the wear and tear on the sofa; this was difficult to replace over lock down but is due to be replaced now before Christmas. We hope you had a lovely time otherwise. Property Owner
-
"Had a lovely relaxing week ."
Beautiful views at back and front of cottage had a good meal at steam packet would hope to go back again in near future bear the dog loved the enclosed back garden dave Gloria and bear
-
"Positives:- Great location and sea views."
Close to pub. Comfy bed. Woodburning stove. Negatives:- Bathroom heater not working. Feeble electric shower. Storage heaters not great (apart from main bedroom) - it was a cold / windy week.
-
"Lovely week staying in the pink house well comfy and cozy home from home."
-
"Really nice cottage with front and back sea veiws."
Really cosy with the woodburner. Situated in a lovely village in a spectacular part of the world.
-
"Another fantastic stay at the Pink House, never fails to satisfy."
Homely and a fantastic location.
-
"Fabulous location and very comfortable accommodation would recommend"
-
"We had a great week staying in the pink house,very comfortable with every thing you need for your stay."
The patio garden was secure for our dog . Lovely village with fantastic views. the steam packet pub has good food and friendly staff. There's a nice tearoom with a shop that sells gifts and basic food . If your looking for a quiet holiday this is for you, but we also had some lovely days out in the surrounding area you just have to travel.
-
"We have never been let down, this location is great ,of course weather made all the difference."
The cream tea went down very well after our journey. Will definitely go again.
-
"It's the second holiday we have enjoyed at The Pink House, and it was just as good this time as last time."
Wonderful location by the side of the harbour and when the tide is high and the winds blow, as it did on two days, it is great to watch the waves flipping over the garden wall. A lovely place, made even better by the owner who lives close by. She is a great girl! A bonus for us this time was seeing two Eagles not far from the village.
-
"We had a wonderful holiday."
The cottage has glorious views to the front over the harbour and the back garden over the sea. The tide comes right up to the garden wall so very exciting on a windy day. The pub is just a few steps away and serves delicious food. On arrival the owner had left a delicious cream tea which was very welcome after our long journey. The wood burner keeps the sitting room very cosy but it uses a lot of fuel.
-
"The cottage was warm and comfortable."
The views are amazing from the front of the cottage and back. The people are really friendly and Lyn had left us a loverly cream tea on arrival. Local pub made us feel very welcome and the little church was very interesting with a lot of interesting history about the Isle of Whithorn. If you go stock up with supplies as nearest supermarket is about 20 miles away! Another downside was we had to come home! If you need to get away book The Pink House.
-
"Beautiful location, excellent views of harbour from front and Irish Sea lapping the garden wall at the rear, fascinating scenery, good walks and a handy pub, village hall had a cafe, post office and small shop too."
-
"We enjoyed the excellent location and the comfort and facilities of The Pink House."
Also the proximity to the excellent local pub The Steam Packet which was very friendly with excellent food at reasonable prices. The pub is run by Alastair and they have their own brewery and very friendly efficient staff.
-
"Lyn Kultur the owner of pink house is so very helpful and very thoughtful."
In our arrival there were scones cream and jam set out for us. On the kitchen table, oh and they were gorgeous. A wonderful holiday and we plan on repeating the experience later this year.
-
"Fantastic setting and brilliant views."
Cosy and warm cottage with all amenities. Lovely welcome with card and fresh cream scones. Quiet in the winter with many local tourist attractions closed but great pub with lovely food and small shop and coffee house within 50 yards. Very relaxing, everyone very friendly.
-
"Only gripe is that he pop ups that tell you somebody has just booked a holiday are very annoying and get in the way."
The Pink House was just lovely. We stayed over Christmas week and not only was there a cream tea, but also bottles of wine and small presents. Really lovely quiet area and cosy cottage. Go see the sunset from Monreith beach !
-
"Lovely scones, jam & cream waiting for us which was very kind of the owner."
Lovely position, really enjoyed our stay.
-
"Fantastic property, homely, with amazing views"
-
"The comfort and cleanliness of the Pink House was exceptional."
The local facility's were great,The local people where very welcoming And to top it all a wood burning stove on a night.We will be back.
-
"We have had a lovely 5 days in the Isle of Whithorn with pretty perfect weather as well."
The Pink House is a lovely little cottage right on the quayside overlooking the harbour to the front and along the coast to the rear. Fabulous views. Lyn, the owner, was on hand when we arrived and very friendly and helpful. The scones, cream and jam on arrival were delicious and welcome. The accommodation was very clean and is an ideal base to explore the Whithorn peninsula. My only comment regarding the house is that there is no WiFi. Not a massive problem but slightly inconvenient as there is variable phone coverage in the area. I would definitely recommend a visit to the Pink House and the Isle of Whithorn.
-
"The Pink House is a lovely cottage on the harbour with the sea at the back of the cottage, we enjoyed sitting out in the garden just looking at the view."
The cottage was spotless when we arrived and a lovely cream tea was a welcome treat. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
-
"Beautiful cottage in a lovely location."
Very dog friendly. Highly recommended.
-
"The cottage was great very homely the village was a dream and we had a fantastic holiday ,the scenery was out of this world."
Great.And the home made scones and jam and clotted cream that the owner left for us were scrumptious.
-
"This is a lovely comfortable cottage in a great location."
We had a restful (?) week there which started with cream tea waiting for us in the dining kitchen. The weather was not brilliant, but this is Scotland, so log fires in the evening were a must. Not a hardship though. The views from the cottage itself are almost enough to make you stay indoors all the time, but the walks locally are easy and quite spectacular. The owner is so helpful, it was almost a pleasure to find something wrong, but we didn't find anything wrong. The cottage is well equipped and well situated at the corner of the harbour, making being nosey an easy pasttime. The owner lives locally, and was there if we needed her, which we didn't. Sad to go and leave the place, so much so that our dog sulked on arriving home. Loking forward to our next visit. This is one of those places you wish you had found years ago.
-
"No."
-
"We had a lovely relaxing week at this cottage."
Upon arrival the cottage was clean and welcoming with the key holder leaving us some home baked scones, jam and cream. The views from the cottage at front and back were fantastic and the local pub was very friendly although due to it being so busy we would recommend you book in at the restaurant. We will be back.
-
"Great locations, very nice cottage and area was very welcoming Local pub The Steam Pump was excellent"
-
"The house is a home from home."
Situated in a quiet part of Dumfries and Galloway, the house is an ideal place to chill out and relax. The owner made us very welcome and was on hand if required.
-
"Lovely place to go but extremely remote which is why we booked it."
Some lovely walks good pub and nice food at cafe.
-
"We loved the pink house!"
Paradise, even in winter. Would love to return.
-
"The views from front and back of the cottage were stunning."
Facilities in the village were first class and the people so nice and friendly. There is a lot to do in the area but if needed just the place to chill.
-
"Had a lovely relaxing stay in the pink house."
. the only issue we had was the unavailability of the WI-FI. In future it would have been helpful to have a more stable and secure network.
-
"A lovely place, especially for wildlife lovers."
Very peaceful
-
"To be greeted with home baked scones and fresh cream was a lovely touch even a ..."
To be greeted with home baked scones and fresh cream was a lovely touch even a pint of milk in the fridge a nice way to start your holiday
-
"The Pink House is high on my list of favourite cottages."
We have stayed at self catering accommodation all over Scotland for many years and this one is most certainly one of the best ever.
-
"Got back on Saturday after an amazing week stay in this beautiful cottage."
Outstanding views both at the front and rear of the property. It was delightful to sit in bed with a pot of tea, looking out at the beautiful scenery. The cottage has everything you need for a home from home and was spotless! We was welcomed with a delicious cream tea! The wood fire was especially nice to cosy upto in the evening. A short walk, is a quaint pub, friendly staff, fabulous meals and real ale....more of skip and a jump rather than a walk. In the village is a lovely cafe with a shop on site for those essentials and they serve a scottish breakfast. Great for those who like to holiday with their pets and everywhere caters for dogs and children. A delightful walk at the back of the fishing harbour was St Ninians Chapel in the wonderful countryside and by the sea and not far is St Ninians Cave. Lots to do nearby, but a car is essential. Great if you want peace and quiet and leisurely walks. Excellent value for money....have been recommending to everyone I know!!!

ISLE OF WHITHORN
Whithorn 4 miles; Garlieston 7 miles, Wigtown 14 miles; Newton Stewart 22 miles.
Referred to locally as 'The Isle', the Isle of Whithorn is designated an outstanding conservation area. The graceful crescent of shore and neat houses that make up the harbour presents a perfect spectacle in any camera’s viewfinder. Already in existence 1600 years ago, the community was at the very beginning of Scotland’s Christian history when Ninian, Scotland’s first missionary and saint, founded his church at Whithorn. The Isle Church itself, a former Free Kirk, stands prominent in defiance of the highest of tides. The Isle harbour, once the host of cargoes of coal, fertiliser and timber is now busy throughout the year with local boats fishing for crabs and lobsters, as well as catches of scallops brought in by the visiting Manx fleet. However, some of the best goes straight in through the doors of the award-winning Steam Packet Inn on the waterfront! Take a walk along the Harbour and enquire about local sea-angling opportunities. At the end of the Harbour, follow the signs for St Ninian’s Chapel and shortly you’ll come to the Witness Cairn. Just a short distance away stands the 14th century ruin of St Ninian’s Chapel, once a place where pilgrims were welcomed and now in the care of Historic Scotland. It’s an easy climb up the Cairn to the distinctive white tower which has been a mariner’s landmark for close on two centuries. At the top you can behold the majestic expanse of the Solway and the Irish Sea. Across the water lie the great peaks of Cumbria’s Lake District, while due south lies the Isle of Man, its nearest point just 18 miles away. The Isle is a welcoming port for visiting leisure sailors and bowlers too. So please bring your boat and your bowls! At the Isle you will discover a tranquil place that is much more than just a view. Welcome to the Isle!
