Lodge Cabin with Fabulous Views - Farm Holiday is situated in Stranraer. The property has garden views. The apartment also features free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests.

The spacious apartment has 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a terrace with sea views. Guests can take in the ambience of the surroundings from an outdoor dining area or keep themselves warm by the fireplace on colder days.

I had an absolutely delightful stay at the log cabin. Ian and Kay proved to be exceptional hosts, going the extra mile to ensure our comfort. Ian even paid us a visit shortly after our arrival, ensuring that everything was to our satisfaction and providing clear guidance on how to reach him should we require any assistance. The seclusion of these cabins is nothing short of perfect, offering serene views of the sea, with the added bonus of glimpses of Belfast's city lights twinkling in the distance during the night. The west-facing position of the cabins is a true highlight, providing us with breathtaking sunsets that felt like a daily gift from nature. What truly impressed me was the thoughtful attention to detail within the cabins themselves. They were equipped with everything one could possibly need, from reliable WIFI for staying connected to modern hot showers that added a touch of luxury to the rustic charm of the log cabin experience. In summary, my stay at this log cabin was a wonderful escape from the everyday hustle and bustle, thanks to the warm hospitality of Ian and Kay, the idyllic setting, and the well-appointed cabins. I can't wait to return for another dose of tranquility and those stunning sunsets. Highly recommended!

Brendan was an excellent host. The room was large and bright, the bed comfortable and the shower clean. Plus, our breakfast was cooked to order by the man himself. Can’t ask for more the night before a sailing (Cairnryan ferry port is a very easy 15-minute drive away).

    Very clean and comfortable. Bev is a great host and very friendly and approachable. Stunning surroundings. Ample of supplies in the cottage, well equipt kitchen. Super comfortable bed, lots of space in the cottage and the garden. Defiantly found our continuous re visits with this property and village. Early check in was made possible and late check out was offered due to being vacant after our departure. Can't say enough about the place. Garden is very secure for large dogs which is what we struggle with when looking.

    The cottage was in a beautiful, tranquil location and well positioned to visit places of interest such as Logan Botanic Gardens, Castle Kennedy Gardens, the Mull of Galloway with its fabulous cliffs and lighthouse and local coastal villages like Portpatrick. It was also a very easy journey into the Forest of Galloway and the Galloway mountains and Loch Trool. The cottage was spotless and extremely well equipped and the hosts were friendly and helpful.

    The place is absolutely enjoyable. Looking at the building from the outside might get one mistaking it by just another old repainted building in a sleepy village. But you go inside and you will be amazed with the quality of the premises, the comfort of the rooms that look like they have been refurbished only the day before and the attention to detail from Jo, who served the breakfast. Five stars!!

    The cottage was very cosy and peaceful. It had everything we could possibly have wanted, including well equipped kitchen, TV with loads of channels for cosy evenings in, a fab shower. It was spotlessly clean. I have never been in a holiday home as clean as this was. Our hosts were really lovely, friendly and helpful The location was beautiful and though it was away from it all, we were still able to walk into town (good exercise). The cottage has a small conservatory looking onto a courtyard which was a real sun trap.
