The location is highly praised for its tranquility, great views, and proximity to local shops, cafes, and pubs. The picturesque harbour town of Portpatrick is within walking distance, adding to the appeal.
Guests report that the beds are comfortable and the house is spacious, allowing for a relaxing stay. However, some guests noted issues with soundproofing and hot water system noises.
The cottage is described as well-equipped and ideal for large gatherings. Some guests mentioned that the sofas are a bit tired and the kitchen could benefit from sharper knives.
While guests have mentioned a welcome pack, it is not consistently referenced across reviews to accurately assess its regularity or the level of thoughtfulness. Therefore, it is politely noted that such amenities are a bonus and not guaranteed.

A beautiful house in a lovely, peaceful location. Great views in a quiet village. Local shops for the essentials, plus cafes and a couple of pubs. We had such a relaxing week. Kim was really helpful and there was a lovely welcome pack for us and our dogs. Great secure garden but the wall is a little low in some places if you have big exploring dogs, but ours were fine. We had such a relaxing week.

A great holiday at Saffron Home. It's more than just a house. It's a home. And a very well appointed one, ideal for family gatherings or for a group of friends. The home has everything you need with all the amenities of Portpatrick and surrounding areas right on your doorstep. We were sorry to leave.
