About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

This lovely 18thC harbour cottage has spectacular views both front and rear.

In a wonderful position overlooking the harbour this refurbished old cottage still retains charming original features including beamed ceilings and an open fireplace. An extension completed in April 2019 offers more modern facilities to the rear. The overall property offers the lounge, dining room, a double and a twin bedroom, all having stunning front views of the sea and all are very comfortably furnished in keeping with the traditional ambience. The modern kitchen is to the rear with the adjoining breakfast room having french doors to the charming patio. The second double bedroom, again at the rear also has french doors to the patio.There is a lovely enclosed organic garden with garden furniture and barbecue where you can sit out and enjoy the scenic surroundings.
This historic and very picturesque fishing village lies on the most southerly tip of the Machars and is most famous for its 13thC St Ninian's Chapel which stands on the hill, 5 minutes walk away.
There are excellent opportunities for salmon, trout and sea fishing, sailing and boat hire.
Local golf clubs welcome guests and magnificent coastal walking can be enjoyed.
The cottage is within a few minutes walk of the local hotel/pub/ restaurant which boasts lovely food, wines and real ales. The new Tea Room on the Isle offers breakfast, light lunches and refreshments all day and also has a small gift shop and houses the local post office. Newspapers and basic groceries can be bought here including bread and milk.
The Swallow Theatre, a restored and converted byre just outside Whithorn, offers seating for 48 people. It offers a range of high quality productions throughout the year.

Fabulous cottage with all amenities
Absolutely perfect! We needed a property with a room and all amenities on ground floor for elder parent as well as two rooms for two friends travelling together. The cottage was perfect! It is very well equipped and comfortable. It's location is fabulous, you can't get any nearer the sea! A wonderful place to relax but also a great location for local walks or rides out. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Location
The location is perfect for exploring Galloway with great walks straight from the house. The bright new extension was excellent for our elderly parents or anyone with mobility problems and the garden was beautiful. Only criticism is lack of a decent size fridge freezer.

Colebrook cottage was in a beautiful location, perfect garden for dogs. Amazing walks from the front door. Lovely pub and cafe a very short walk away, both with outside seating and views of the sea.
