The cottage was excellent, very clean, fire was superb, bed was very comfortable, it was equipped for everything. We loved the location as it was away from everything with views of the sea and surrounding fields. We visited the Mull Of Galloway lighthouse, which is well recommended and also the cafe next door. Portpatrick is a lovely village to visit as well. The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful. They provided us with great recommendations for walks, restaurants and places to visit. They were a joy to chat to. We would definitely recommend The Cheese Loft.

A clean, cosy, well equipped cottage set in a beautiful location. The hosts were very friendly ( as were their lovely dogs ! ) and helpful. The accommodation is extremely practical for dogs and our two Greyhounds were very happy there. A good torch is a must for late outings. We were very fortunate with the weather and had a lovely relaxing week at the Cheese Loft. Thank you Gill and Simon.
