A fantastic stay away from it all in a totally rural location. The house was really spacious and Elspeth, the owner, contacted us prior to our stay , sent directions and replied to queries really quickly. We would really love to go back. Thank you so much!

Lovely Cottage
Had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage. Very well equipped, and comfortable. Very peaceful, with great views, and lots of interesting wildlife around, which we watched from the large, airy lounge. Will be recommending to all our friends and family. Definitely will be coming back.

Perfect
This is truly a wonderful location if you need time and space to reset and restore body and soul. We enjoyed wonderful weather and walking on the Scottish Upland way and the Mull of Galloway trail. There is so much to see of interest within a short distance and the Botanical Gardens at Port Logan are a must visit, it was paradise on a beautiful warm sunny day. The cottage was warm and comfortable with everything we needed and the views over the bay were stunning. Elspeth and family were very helpful providing information during the challenging COVID -19 restrictions. We were warmly welcomed every where we went and we will return for sure. Thank you Jo and Mike Douglas

Helensdale cottage
If you prefer your holiday accommodation to be a beautifully maintained cottage, surrounded by fields frequented by deer, overlooking a cove where seals visit daily, and close proximity to glorious beaches and places of interest (many historical), then this destination is for you!

Outstanding short break with gorgeous views
The house is extremely spacious and relaxing - a great place to return to after a day out walking. There are lots of places to go within short driving distance (or walks on the doorstep!). Elspeth got in touch just to make sure we were ok which was a lovely touch. We would definitely recommend Helensdale!

A real home-from-home
This was our first visit to the South Rhins, and it certainly lived up to it's reputation as a secret little corner of Scotland. Tourism is very low key on this peninsula, so if you're looking for peace and tranquility you will not be disappointed. The word "breathtaking" is overused these days but the location of Helensdale, and the views from the front windows most certainly do take your breath away. To be honest, the website photos do not come anywhere near doing the views justice - prepare to be astonished. The property was beautifully presented, and welcoming - we both felt immediately at home, and we were genuinely amazed at the sheer space. All rooms are light, airy and so spacious. If you want to escape the rat-race and truly get away from it all....look no further.
