  • "We felt that the quality of the fixtures and fittings provided was one of the very best we have experienced."

    The welcome pack provided by the owner was first class and very much appreciated. A very small problem with the electrics was resolved quickly and efficiently. While the weather was a little murky for the whole week we still enjoyed the amazing views from the house. It’s location means that it is accessible for both the northern and southern parts of the Rhins of Galloway as well as a short distance to the ferry for Belfast I would definitely recommend the property to friends and family who wanted to explore this part of the world.

    Comfortable bedrooms, powerful showers, well equipped kitchen. Great views across Loch Ryan. We enjoyed visiting Galloway Forest Park and Portpatrick, but seeing a pod of dolphins off the Mull of Galloway has to be the highlight of our visit.

    The property is furnished throughout to a very high specification and there is so much room inside the property with the very large kitchen diner and 2 living room areas, plus a pool table in the converted garage. Everything was very comfortable inside the house, and the views of Loch Ryan from all the windows is spectacular. We enjoyed exploring the area and had a day trip to Belfast.

    An exceptional house. It is huge but gets warm and cosy and we took full advantage of the log burner. We loved the views and spent many hours staring out over the water from the kitchen bench. We could happily go back every year. Would give it 20/10 if it was possible. 100% recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

  • "An absolutely stunning property in every aspect."

    Attention to detail is first class. An elevated position above Lock Ryan, with many great local walks along the beach or further to Lady Bay or even to Crosswell Lighthouse. Portpatrick is approximately 40 minute drive and very much worth a visit. The property is very spacious, well equipped and its been designed with great thought and attention to quality. Clearly aimed at the larger parties up to 8 guests, we had 6 and plenty of room for a very comfortable stay. The package of goodies and key supplies left by the owner was truly amazing in terms of quality and quantity. Several of my family are keen Pool players and the Table and equipment are of a very high standard. I have been using Sykes properties for many years and stayed in many great properties. This overall is the best to date. Brilliant stay and great value.
