Portpatrick 1.2 miles. Ellie's House rests in the charming coastal village of Portpatrick, Dumfries and Galloway, offering a comfortable base for families or couples eager to experience the beauty of south-west Scotland. Inside, you'll find an open-plan living area with a well-equipped kitchen, dining space and sitting area arranged for relaxed, sociable living. The kitchen includes a gas oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, air fryer, kettle and toaster, making self-catering simple and convenient. After a day exploring the coast, settle down in front of the Smart TV and electric fire. There are two bedrooms — a king-size with en-suite basin and WC, and a twin room — both served by a sleek shower room with walk-in shower, basin and WC. LPG central heating keeps the space warm throughout the seasons. Step outside to the enclosed decking, complete with furniture for enjoying a drink or meal in the fresh air. Off-road parking for two cars is available, and one well-behaved pet is welcome to join you. Local amenities are close at hand, with a friendly pub just a short stroll away, and both a shop and the beach easily reached on foot or by car. Venture a little further to explore the harbour town of Stranraer, the peaceful village of Leswalt, or the vast Galloway Forest Park — ideal for walking, cycling and stargazing beneath some of the UK's clearest skies. Whether you're planning days on the beach, woodland adventures or simply some well-earned rest, Ellie's House is a welcoming base for your next Scottish escape. Sorry, no smoking.Dating back some 500 years, the fishing village of Portpatrick features a small rocky bay, sheltered by cliffs, and was once a thriving seaport. Today known as the 'Jewel in the Crown of Galloway', it boasts a variety of stunning cliff-top walks, secluded bays and beaches, and a fine selection of harbour-side pubs, restaurants and gift shops. At the south end of the village visitors can find the Lighthouse Pottery, offering stunning views of the area, and evoking the sense of an amphitheatre, with a line of attractive buildings stretching across the skyline. Portpatrick is also home to one of the 30 life-boat stations in Scotland, offering an exhibition that is well worth a visit. There is an excellent beach with launching ramp, both rock and freshwater fishing, and several boats, which transport sea anglers out from the harbour to catch warsse, cod, mackerel, whiting, plaice and skate. With golfing, bowling, and tennis facilities close by, Portpatrick is the perfect location for a relaxing break.
