Guest reviews :-
We arrived for the 3rd time in 12 months. We first came last October, then again in April and now here again.
We love the BIG garden and Mummy & Daddy love it as they know we are safe.
We love the beach as we can run on the sand and Molly can chase the birds (she loves doing that).
We’ve done all the usual stuff too with Mum & Dad.
They love bringing us here and we can’t wait till Christmas when we come back for another week.

We have had the best time here.
The cottage is spotless and better equipped than we ever expected, every wee detail is thought of.
We spent so much time on the beach and visited the fish pond, Galloway Lighthouse and many of the surrounding wee villages.
So sad to be going home but we are all looking forward to our next visit in July.
Thanks so much.

Enjoyed our week at Rosebank Cottage.
Spent an enjoyable few hours at Logan Gardens, must have very mild winters here for the tropical plants to grow so well, worth a visit. Enjoyed the lighthouse and surrounding cliff top walks. Lexi and Skye enjoyed running on the beach. Lovely cottage, thanks.

what an amazing relaxed week we have had at Rosebank Cottage.
The weather has been lovely as well, so we have been in the garden and beach all week.
We went to the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse which was fantastic, breath taking views.
Thanks again for the very thoughtful welcome pack, it was very much appreciated after a long drive.
We will be returning to Rosebank Cottage and will be recommending this “GEM” to friends and family.
Thank you once again.

“It has been a pleasure to rediscover Bonny Dumfries and Galloway. Our first visit was in 1968 with our 3 young daughters, and again in 2007 on our 49th wedding anniversary. Our visit this week has been no less magical. We have holidayed in cottages all over the UK but Rosebank is by far the best, extended and renovated without loosing it’s charm and comfort. The welcome pack was excellent far above our expectations !
Thank you”.

“This is a beautiful holiday cottage with fabulous gardens for the dogs. The cottage has everything we could have wished for and more. Thanks very much for the welcome pack which was very much appreciated. Fabulous to just walk across the road to the beach too.
We found a lovely hotel called Tigh na Mara Hotel just 5 miles away in Sandhead (dogs allowed in bar area), meal and service was lovely. We also went into Stranraer to get shopping and cheekily went into the Royal cafe on Castle Street, and asked if we could take the dogs in and they were allowed. We have enjoyed this late break with the dogs so much we have already booked again. Thanks so much Denise & Nick”.

Stena do a day trip 11:30am back 10pm for £80.00 (family of 4). Kirkmadrine Stones is otherworldly and the ancient church is in a very peaceful spot.
