Reviews

Beautiful Cottage on the Isle of Whithorn, Clean spacious and cosy with a lovely log burner stove, well provided kitchen, nice bathroom and plenty of hot water. We stayed for a relaxing week to relax and chill out in Jan 2019 after a particularly busy and stressful time in our lives the Pink House couldn't have been better and we enjoyed a fantastic week in the SW of Scotland, the Isle is a fairly narrow spit of Land with a Harbour at the end, all the locals were very friendly and welcoming, great community centre/cafe and the local Steam Packet Inn serves great food. Lyn the owner was very welcoming and helpful and we were greeted with home made fresh cream scones. Would definitely return and wholly recommend for a quiet relaxing stay in this lovely Cottage

The house is situated on the Isle of Whithorn harbour front. Uninterrupted views over the harbour at the front and views overlooking a small bay at the back. The house is well appointed, clean and tidy, really a home from home. The owner is most welcoming as can be seen from the comments in the guest book. We arrived for a weeks stay, to find a cream tea laid out for us. A wonderful touch and most welcome after a long drive from the Midlands.
