Shell Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

NEW FOR 2025

This charming, single-level former farm worker's cottage comfortably accommodates up to six guests across three bedrooms: a master bedroom with a super king-size bed and patio doors opening directly onto the garden with bay views, and two additional bedrooms each furnished with twin single beds.

The inviting living room is equipped with a Smart TV and Smart Speaker, providing a cosy space for relaxation. Adjacent to the living room, the conservatory features panoramic windows and patio doors leading to the garden, offering breathtaking sea views and a dining area to enjoy meals against the backdrop of stunning sunsets.

The well-equipped kitchen includes a breakfast area, electric cooker, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine, ensuring all the comforts of home. The bathroom is fitted with a bath and shower over, heated towel rail, and toilet.

One of the highlights of Shell Cottage is the private wood-fired hot tub, accommodating up to six guests. It's an ideal spot to unwind while gazing at the sea and stars. The surrounding garden provides ample space for children to play or for guests to relax amidst the soothing sounds of nature.

Shell Cottage's prime location on the edge of Portyerrock Bay ensures guests are captivated by the ever-changing seascape, regardless of the season. The nearby Isle of Whithorn is a charming coastal village steeped in history, closely associated with St. Ninian, who introduced Christianity to Scotland in 397 AD.

Visitors can explore the Whithorn Trust Visitor Centre, which offers insights into the region's rich archaeological heritage, including exhibitions like "Whithorn Cold Case" and "Face to Face with Whithorn's Bishops," featuring facial reconstructions and the magnificent Whithorn Crozier. The centre also provides guided tours to a reconstructed Iron Age roundhouse and houses a museum of early mediaeval carved stones.

For nature enthusiasts, the surrounding area offers scenic coastal walks, opportunities for bird watching, and the chance to visit St. Ninian's Cave, a site of historical pilgrimage. The Machars peninsula, where Whithorn is located, is renowned for its natural beauty and tranquil landscapes, providing a perfect backdrop for outdoor activities and exploration.

Whether seeking adventure or tranquillity, Shell Cottage serves as an ideal base to experience the unique blend of comfort and natural beauty that the Portyerrock and Whithorn areas have to offer.
