Cottage had a foisty old smell, there was mould on the ceilings, mould in the corner behind the bin, mattress was filthy, sofa was creeky, strange hole in the living room carpet Overall the cottage needs updating , cleaning and modernising

- Mrs Neesham, December 2019
Ms Gortmans December 2019

“I have stayed in this cottage before and always consider it both ideal for location, amenities and the friendliness of the area.”

The cottage itself is ideal for my needs.

- Ms Gortmans, December 2019
Mrs Izon-williams November 2019

“This is the 3rd time we have stayed at this property and it is good value and cosy.”

The location is perfect. The heating in the property has improved from last year and we were nice and warm. A couple of improvements would be a new mattress in the main bedroom as it is a bit lumpy. Also, WiFi would be great as the mobile phone signals are not always good in the area and we had to go to the pub or cafe to access WiFi. The instructions in the house could be better. We could not find a recycling box so had to put our recycling in the bin which was a shame. However, we do love the Laigh Isle complex and would not hesitate in staying here again.

- Mrs Izon-williams, November 2019
Mr Heathcote October 2019

“The property was warm comfortable and clean.”

Location is great for walks from the door around the coast. Good base for exploring Dumfries and Galloway. Village is nice and friendly,the local community tea room and shop stock the basics. if you want a peaceful relaxing holiday this is ideal. Would definitely go back.

- Mr Heathcote, October 2019
Mr Bainbridge August 2019

“The chalet was just what we needed.”

Great base to explore this beautiful area. The kids loved being there, as did Bruce our Westie, and we will be returning here.

- Mr Bainbridge, August 2019
Mr Hopps August 2019

“Chalet was clean and comfortable, we would stay there again.”

The coastline around the Isle of Whithorn is absolutely stunning with walks straight from the door.

- Mr Hopps, August 2019
Mr Cuffling July 2019

“Lovely chalet but unlike the other three we have been to at Leigh Isle no sea view.”

We knew this when we booked but thought it wouldn't matter unfortunately for us it did.

- Mr Cuffling, July 2019
Ms Hurd July 2019

“Didn't like the fact that the holiday let smelt of dog when we arrived and that our towels were still wet and hanging over a wooden clothes drier, the kids bunk-beds were not made and I struggled to climb to make them.”

, cleaner needs to look up, old cobwebs on spotlights in kitchen. In the kitchen the worktop juts out and both my grandchildren had grazed arms having got caught by It so the wooden drier spent the remainder of the holiday in front of said worktop so no more accidents. But all in all we had a great holiday and the holiday let was lovely and detached, with plenty of outside space for a nine and six yr old to run around and just a short walk to the harbor and pebbled beach, Ideal for skimming stones, the local pub had good meals and we ate there several times, the local shop/post office/ cafe was a five minute walk away. The owner of the let gave me quite a few good places to take the kids to and they weren't disappointed.

- Ms Hurd, July 2019
Mrs Milhench May 2019

“This cottage is in a beautiful area.”

The Isle of Whithorn is very beautiful and surrounding towns are very picturesque. Hope to return in the future.

- Mrs Milhench, May 2019
Mr Jolleys May 2019

“The cottage and facilities were excellent and suited our needs.”

The location was ideal and the local residents were very welcoming and breakfast and evening meal in the local pub(only 5 minute walk)were first class.Would highly reccomend

- Mr Jolleys, May 2019
Mrs Bradford April 2019

“It was a lovely, well equipped cottage.”

They had supplied everything that you would need. Location was good. The weather was kind too, so,we were able to sit in the beautiful garden watching the thrushes!

- Mrs Bradford, April 2019
Mr Taylor March 2019

“The chalet was on a very well kept estate, which was also peaceful and quiet.”

- Mr Taylor, March 2019
Mrs Krubally March 2019

“Booked this holiday at short notice.”

Lovely place, if you want nice walks it's a great place and the weather was kind to us. Would recommend booking with Sykes never had any problems.

- Mrs Krubally, March 2019
Mrs Izon-williams September 2018

“We have stayed at 3 Laigh Isle before.”

It is well laid out and comfy. Some firmer pillows would make it just perfect as the bed is very comfy. We love these little cottages and are considering buying one. Please thank the owner and tell him to contact us if he ever wants to sell. The Isle of Whithorn is a beautiful and friendly place and the area is very unspoilt. Our favourite place in the whole of Scotland.

- Mrs Izon-williams, September 2018
Mr Shankland September 2018

“Lovely relaxing holiday for elderly people like ourselves but not much there for youngsters.”

- Mr Shankland, September 2018
Mr Paterson June 2018

“Had a fantastic week.”

House was clean and tidy. Had information leaflets in the house to let you know what was happening in the area. The owner left a new milk and packet of biscuits for us which was a lovely gesture. Would highly recommend. Many thanks.

- Mr Paterson, June 2018
Mr Baessler May 2018

“It was a wonderful accomodation with everything in and functioning ( the only improvement might be a little deep freeze compartment ?”

!). We enjoyed being there for a fortnight. That Isle of Whithorn is very lovely, but also very lonely which we knew beforehand. Although we had planned being there and walking with our dog which we had to put to sleep two months before, we made beautiful hiking tours and had a very recreating time in this house and Whithorn. The house was in very good order and the communication with our landlord worked out fine.

- Mr Baessler, May 2018

Had a wonderful time, great experience for my familys first time visiting Scotland, absolutely beautiful with wonderful views and very friendly and welcoming people, the cottage was absolutely spotless and comfortable will stay again sometime and the packet in gas some awesome food 5* all the way thanks

- Mr Ridley, April 2018
Mr Mcvey April 2018

“No problems at all - well-equipped, clean, comfortable with close pub and shop, plus friendly neighbours.”

Only slight downside is no wifi, although this was cheerfully provided by the local pub. Don't expect wild nightlife (although there's plenty of night wildlife), but if you're after peace and quiet and plenty of fresh air, it's just the place. Except on Tuesdays, when the contractor mows the grass...

- Mr Mcvey, April 2018
Mrs Taylor March 2018

“Left milk for us in the fridge as the shop was shut by the time we arrived.”

Also provided a packet of lovely biscuits. Really nice welcoming touches.

- Mrs Taylor, March 2018
Mr Cotton July 2017

“Great location , ideal for walkers”

- Mr Cotton, July 2017
Mrs Cartwright June 2017

“The property and its location was very good and great for a relaxing holiday.”

Just a lick of paint needed on the chalet and garden furniture, apart from that we are highly satisfied.

- Mrs Cartwright, June 2017
Mrs Izon-williams September 2016

“Really comfy chalet in a lovely and very convenient location with easy access and ample parking.”

The chalet is very well equipped througout with nice little extras such as a pint of fresh milk provided. The kitchen had everything we needed. The heating is very efficient and it was lovely and warm when the temperature dropped outside at night. We would recommend 3 Laigh Isle and will be be back sometime soon.

- Mrs Izon-williams, September 2016
Mrs Susan June 2016

“Such a great place to live.”

Friendly people. Words can't say how much we loved being here. Anyone thinking of going, don't hesitate, go.

- Mrs Susan, June 2016
Mrs Greenwood November 2015

“The location was fantastic.”

With 2 dogs we couldn't have asked for a better location. Dog friendly pub which served excellent food. The accommodation was very clean and warm, ( we went in November and the weather was quite cold )

- Mrs Greenwood, November 2015
Mr Watson May 2015

“The cottage was situated within a beautiful area and the complex was very well appointed and maintained.”

Due to the isolation of the cottage it was very quiet at night leading to a good nights sleep.

- Mr Watson, May 2015
Miss Squires April 2015

“Warm and cosy, this was a perfect base to explore the lovely Isle of Whithorn and the surrounding area.”

It was a very easy 'home from home' for our short break, with lots of hot water for showers on return from a hard day's walking, and an evening of chill out film nights.

- Miss Squires, April 2015
Mrs Tomlinson October 2014

“A lovely, comfortable cottage in a peaceful location, with outstanding scenery and lovely walks.”

Came back home feeling very refreshed.

- Mrs Tomlinson, October 2014

- Mrs Sullivan, April 2014

About the location

ISLE OF WHITHORN

Newton Stewart 20 miles.

The picturesque village of the Isle of Whithorn, though no longer an island, nestles around its natural harbour on the southernmost tip of the Machars Peninsula, designated as an outstanding conservation area. The village has a long history of seafaring and trade, which dates back to the Vikings. The arrival in 397 of Ninian, Scotland's first missionary and saint, is thought to be the beginning of Scotland's Christian history, and the remains of the 13th century chapel can still be seen at the end of the harbour. A short, gentle climb will take you to the distinctive white tower - the Cairn - which has been a mariner's landmark for close on two centuries. Today the harbour is popular with visiting leisure sailors and with local boats fishing for crabs, lobsters and scallops. The area is steeped in history with numerous sites ranging from Mesolithic and Iron Age forts, standing stones and 'cup and ring’ markings, an 11th century chapel and castles from the era of Robert the Bruce. Wigtown, Scotland's first book town, can be reached within a short drive, and has over a dozen book shops in which one can easily lose an hour or two! With beaches, forests, golf courses, gardens and churches to visit, this is an ideal base for discovering this corner of Scotland.

Note: This property sleeps a max of 2 adults and 2 children.
