Perfect property, perfect location. Stunning.
The property was spacious enough for 4 adults, 3 children and 3 dogs. Great spaces inside for dining and relaxing. Large enclosed back garden was absolutely lovely. Within walking distance of beach with great rockpooling opportunities. We didn't want to leave.

Christmas stay
Thoroughly enjoyed our break over Xmas. The area is great for walking, dogs loved the beach. House itself is lovely and cosy but lacking in a few things. Whole house needs a bit of TLC, looking a bit tired and grubby in areas. Oven control knobs some are broken, lack of basics ie salt/pepper/vinegar, old pots and pans need replacing so food doesn’t stick or burn when cooking. Outside area and garden needs tidying up and TLC again.

Great for dogs!
We loved our stay at Stellock. Great cottage in a great secluded location with no one around. Perfect for the dogs with a gravel outdoor area equipped with a hose for easy cleaning. Lovely quiet beach and country walks all nearby too. Cottage is super cosy with the 2 wood burning stoves and James was super helpful when we ran out of wood. Best pub by far is The Harbour Inn in Garlieston, lovely friendly atmosphere and nice food. Bladnoch distillery also well worth a visit!

A Magical Western Retreat
Stellock is a large comfortable house in a secluded and stunning location in the gently rolling hills of the Machars peninsula. From its large and well kept garden there is a view out to the sea. There is plenty of kitchen space, big sofas to lounge on and the conservatory is wonderful! Add comfortable beds and very good Wi-Fi and TV reception. We spent a week here and our only complaint is that it wasn’t a month. Admittedly the weather was good which certainly makes a difference but this place is just perfect for exploring this magical part of Scotland. You can easily walk to the woods around the White Loch of Myrton and then on to Drumfad bridge and up over the Fell of Barhullion just behind the house. From here the view is magnificent, from the Rhins of Galloway to the Isle of Man and round to the hills of the Forest of Galloway with Merrick looming in the North. The otter monument to Gavin Maxwell is nearby on a scenic headland. We visited in May when the many woodlands round about were full of bluebells and wild garlic. We watched swallows, martins and, in the evenings, bats. Isle of Whithorn is lovely with its rugged point and charming harbour. Have a coffee at St. Ninian’s Tearoom. Try fish and chips at The Steampacket. Superb accommodation. Highly recommended.

Beautiful location and lovely accommodation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Monreith. It was exactly the remote and beautiful location we were hoping for. The property was picturesque and comfortable. Plenty of space for the kids to play inside our out. We had a small issue with the downstairs loo which we liaised James about and he was very generous in his response to this. The walk to the beach and whisky tour at Bladnoch Distillery were particular highlights. Thank you to you both. It would be nice to come back in the summer sometime

Charming place to escape to
Our experience of Stellock was that it worked really well for us. We were a party of 6 and the house was warm & welcoming, well-equipped and full of character. The wood-burning stove was a joy. We'd recommend it highly!

Beautiful and conservatory
Quite remote but very pretty location and comfortable bed Communication with owners was slow regarding arrival instructions . Key hard to find ( Under stone but didn’t say stone above us ) Sitting room and kitchen dark but conservatory And garden lovely . No welcome pack which we would expect at that price .. even during Covid other properties have given wine or a local food voucher . No basics not even salt sugar or a few tea bags poor quality utensils that bent when you lifted food . Lack of information for heating and Wi-Fi access . Kitchen needed some upgrading . . Beautiful area of the country

Great place for some R&R
Lovely house with great garden and beautiful beach at the end of the road. Quite remote so advise bringing plenty of books & board games. The owner left a list of local attractions and the kids loved the nearby mountain biking.
