Lovely place, great view and brilliant hot tub, we loved watching the ferries come and go from it! The dog collar disc was a great idea, we think it should be in EVERY holiday home! The log burner was lovely and sitting in the rocking chair was very enjoyable, looking outwards watching herons, sheep and geese. The bedrooms were very well prepared, and the home overall was absolutely beautiful.

Looking for a relaxing family holiday we had a holiday here at Stincher View 25th September to 2nd October. We comprises of me, my wife, my granddaughter and her partner and last but not least Lucy, our cocker spaniel. The house was spotlessly clean and well appointed with everything you might need on holiday. The garden is enormous and our dog (Lucy) loved the space. The Ballantrae area is beautiful for walking with lots of history.The owner also went out of their way when I asked where we could rent tennis rackets, she dropped rackets and balls of the next day. A scenic drive into Stranraar gives you shops, supermarkets etc..Altogether a great relaxing holiday for all.

The cottage is well kitted out, fantastic views and an excellent lawn which the dogs enjoyed. The village itself just had a co-op and a garden centre ( closed Monday and Tuesday) but is well placed for visiting surrounding areas.
