Lose yourself in breathtaking sea views from almost every window of this family-friendly getaway located beside the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse; enjoy miles of windswept, cliff-top walks along the Rhins of Galloway from your doorstep.

At the end of a long walkies, warm chilly toes and paws beside the roaring wood burner-effect electric fire in the cosy, open-plan lounge/diner which features a soothing neutral colour palette and homely touches everywhere you look; your four-pawed pal won’t be able to resist snoozing at your feet. Lead the way into the contemporary kitchen to enjoy magnificent sea views as you rustle up some tasty treats with your new local flavours. Boasting crisp, white lines, the double and two twin bedrooms offer a haven of serenity to retire to before kick-starting your next adventure with a refreshing shower in the family bathroom. Make the most of your stunning scenery overlooking Luce Bay by enjoying a sundowner on the picnic benches in the shared, lawned garden as playful pups let off some steam before bedtime. Outside, you’ll also find private parking for two cars.

Featuring 50 miles of tail-wagging coastline, the Rhins of Galloway offers a playground of outdoor activities to enjoy, with lots of exciting new smells for your canine companion to uncover as you discover a myriad of scenic tracks and trails beginning from the doorstep. Treat your pup to an afternoon of getting their paws sandy along the gloriously golden stretch at Luce Sands (13 miles) or Marine Lake Beach (20 miles), which feature beautiful views across Loch Ryan and a lovely promenade perfect for a scenic stroll. Keen birdwatchers can spot the seaside sights of dolphins, porpoises and seabirds across the incredible cliffside views on your doorstep.

We are full of admiration for the Trust and it's volunteers, who have made Kittiwake Cottage into such a lovely holiday home. It is spacious, comfy and well equipped and it is in the most beautiful location.

Absolutely brilliant location. Fantastic views from bedroom. No need to leave the RSPB Reserve to go anywhere! Comfy beds. Warm and cosy in winter. Perfect peace, apart from the sound of the sea, seabirds and ever-present wind!

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location. The cottage is very cosy and stocked with everything you need as a home from home. Definitely liked the private garden to the rear of the cottage. I would definitely recommend a visit to this cottage, perfect peace and quiet with so many walks and viewpoints within your location. We had a fantastic holiday.

Wonderful location, especially in spring with lots of blue squill flowers carpeting the grass. Good for birds with stonechats, whitethroats, song thrush, wheatears, pipits, wagtails, swallows and martins just out the door. Also cliff-nesting sea-birds but fewer than I expected. Coastal walks superb, at least in the fabulous weather we had. Cottage Read morehad everything we needed and more. The owners were immediately helpful when we hadn't yet received our arrival information, which meant all went smoothly. Highly recommend. Hide

This is the perfect place to relax and escape. We could easily just stay here for days, with local walks, the cafe nearby and a beautiful location to relax in. Further afield Port Patrick is a lovely place to visit and Stranraer has everything needed to stock up. The kitchen is perfectly equipped for everything. Beds are comfortable and the place iRead mores very clean. The wi-fi worked well and there is also some mobile signal. A great dog friendly stay that is such good value. This was our second visit and wont be our last. Hide
