Guest reviews :-

Found the cottage by chance on the Website when looking for a “get away from it all” place for a week and we certainly found it !

Beautiful cottage – Home from Home with perfect dog friendly garden and access to the beach.

Thanks for the welcome pack “which included dog treats “ !!

Spent the week walking and exploring (mainly on foot).

Lovely walk across country to New England Bay.

Portpatrick’s worth a visit for nice dog friendly pubs.

Lovely drives to the Mull of Galloway and Corsewall Point for wild and windy views !!

Sad to be leaving but hopefully will return xx

The lovely, comfortable & spacious Rosebank Cottage has exceeded our expectations.

Port Logan is a perfect location to explore the South West peninsular & relax in such pleasant surroundings.

The dogs loved to frolic on the beach & being right on the door step was an added bonus.

The cottage is beautiful; bomb proof for dogs also makes it a great place for 1 year old twins to explore in safety.

Thank you for the extra travel cot. Our 3 boys have loved exploring on the beach and we have had some great trips out.

This place is so clean and tidy, fully equipped, lovely and comfortable.

Thank you so much, this place is a gem and we hope to be back soon.

Hi Denise & Nick,

A “WOW” on the Web site and a bigger “WOW” on arrival.

An outstanding cottage with all mod cons and very clean.

Thumbs up for the freezer it meant I could pre-cook the dog’s dinners and shove in the freezer only needing to defrost.

The “boys” loved exploring the large garden.

A lovely quiet location and great for exploring that end of the map.

Thanks so much for allowing us to stay, thanks for the welcome pack.

Katie McGavigan  reviewed Port Logan Holiday Cottage – 5 star

 

We stayed at Rosebank for a week this summer. The cottage is incredibly well looked after, very clean and really well equipped. It was perfect for us. Denise and Nick were really helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. We have 3 children so being across the road from the beach was great and the children cycled around the village for hours. There are very few places where it is safe for young children to have so much freedom. The back garden is a sun trap and very private which is lovely when you want a holiday that means you can get away from it all. The ice cream kiosk along the road was a bonus (open Fri, Sat, Sun). It wasn't our first visit to the area and won't be our last.

Another perfect stay, cottage spotless and welcoming and as always a lovely welcome pack.

We had so much time relaxing, reading and exploring.

Then sunsets on the path past the pier are amazing.

My daughter, partner and their kids came for a day and went snorkelling while we had a swim in the sea, and they all had the best day and didn’t want to leave.

We also explored Kirk Maiden Cemetery and High Slock in our search of our family tree and got lots of information and pictures.

Thank you so much again for sharing this wee piece of Heaven.

See you again for the New Year.

Port Logan has enveloped us in a duvet of peace & tranquillity.

The whole area is outstandingly beautiful. We have visited most of the gardens

& they are all wonderful in their own way, if you only have time or inclination to

Visit one make sure it’s Glenwhan.

Thank you Nick & Denise for providing such a wonderful cottage and all the added extras

welcome pack : flowers all very much appreciated .

We have all enjoyed the garden & beach particularly Pip.

I can’t imagine we won’t be visiting P L & Rosebank again.

May I say Another wonderful week at your cottage, enhanced by the weather !!

how thoughtful you are with little touches, like tissues and flowers.

Simon says thanks for the fork (Simon is a keen fisherman and needed a fork to dig bait).

May I just say, perhaps some fold up chairs would be useful for us “Oldies” who can’t walk well !

Regular guest here again, 
Simon and Jacqui love Port Logan and will be back for a month towards the end of the year.
Simon has just had another Birthday but we don't consider you to be "oldies". 
We do appreciate the size of our garden so we have just ordered another picnic bench and table for the lower area.
As with your suggestion about a bait digging fork for fishing we always respond.

I saw Rosebank Cottage on the internet and thought it looked just right,

a place to stay for several weeks for some well-earned respite.

In I came to a light, airy space as clean and tidy as can be, beautifully maintained garden and right next to the sea.

Villagers made me feel at home local ice cream is a must (https://www.visitsouthwestscotland.com/attractions/cool-licks-and-hot-drinks-ltd/ )

Rosebank held firm and true when storm Horace began to gust.

A knees up at the hoolie I stayed up past eleven, the clean sea air and walks with dog this is my idea of heaven..

So sadly now it’s time for home thank you Denise & Nick, your cottage is a perfect place and leaving makes me sick ! xxxx

We were absolutely delighted with Rosebank Cottage !

We couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Denise & Nick you have ensured that everything is catered for and so much more, the cottage is beautiful with a garden to die for and the most amazing surroundings, the hubby caught 13 species of fish and we have explored and discovered many other places. On a plus the weather has been amazing so we are even leaving with a tan!

“Here we are again for the 5^th time”.

We were so excited when mum told us we were coming back on holiday.

We knew where we were before dad pulled up outside, we were crying with excitement and making such a din !

We’ve been playing out in the huge garden with our balls and been running after the birds too, that’s a good game and keeps us fit.

We love the beach and running on the sand and having a little paddle.

Love Cooper and Molly xx.

Mummy and Daddy say thanks for the welcome pack & flowers and the lovely gift voucher you are both so kind and very thoughtful.

Hope to return soon.

Everyone loved the cottage and we got lots of things in the welcome pack but mummy said we couldn’t have any as doggies aren’t allowed chocolates and biscuits. We did have our sweets with us so we didn’t eat those we had left us by Denise & Nick but thank you.

“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”.

Jimmy & Brenda and family. Brampton Cumbria.

“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”.

Alex and Pam Cairns, Cooper and Molly Freckleton, Preston 15th – 22nd October 2016.

“Cottage is great ! Visit Logan Botanic – superb gardens and our 2nd trip there. Ardwell House & Gardens – hidden gem in lovely walled garden, just us and the gardener – “wonderful “! Portpatrick is great for a day trip – buy gifts from the RNLI shop. Take the ferry from Cairnryan to Belfast to see the spectacular Titanic exhibition. 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. Otherwise just pootling on the beach and hopefully seeing spectacular sunsets like we enjoyed.”
