Welcome to Driftwood Cottage, a charming holiday let nestled in an elevated position within the picturesque seaside village of Portpatrick, on the enchanting coastline of Dumfries and Galloway.

Perched overlooking the glistening waters, the cottage captures the essence of coastal living with its exceptional location.
The ground floor unveils an inviting open-plan living space, adorned with tasteful furnishings that seamlessly blend modern comforts with a touch of coastal charm.

Portpatrick is a charming and pretty fishing port, with a small sandy beach and harbour as the focal point of the village. Take a stroll along the harbour and stop off at one of the waterfront pubs for a drink or a meal whilst enjoying the sea view! There are lots of walks right on your doorstep, and Portpatrick is the ’Gateway to the Southern Upland Way’, a 212-mile coast to coast walk from Portpatrick to Cockburnspath in the east. Join the route on the cliffs above the harbour and walk along the coast enjoying the beautiful views over the sea to Ireland.
There are lots of other pretty little ports and bays to discover in the area too. Killantringan Bay is a short drive outside Portpatrick, and a short walk from the village will bring you to Laird’s Bay. There is a host of other local attractions including the rspb Scotland Mull of Galloway Nature Reserve, where thousands of seabirds nest in the cliff face during the spring and summer. There are many beautiful gardens to explore, including the world renowned Logan Botanic Garden, Castle Kennedy Gardens and Glenwhan. The area is a cyclist’s paradise with the famous 7Stanes world class mountain biking trails within easy reach.

Beautifully presented 2 bed, spacious cottage. Everything clean and tidy. Has a washing machine, big fridge and a dishwasher. Owner's attention to detail is very good, supplying all the basics to get started: washing up supplies, biscuits, tea, etc. only 5 mins walk down to portpatrick port which has pubs and a couple of shops for supplies. Made a super base from which to explore the area.

We had a lovely time during our visit. The cottage was lovely bright and modern and met all of our needs. Great to be close to local amenities, if you are fairly fit the stairs up from the village are fine otherwise I'd recommend car. Hope to be back again in future!
