  • "Our second time staying here and it was every bit as good as we remembered ."

    Janice and Derek have thought of everything , the cottage is a real home from home with the added bonus of a hot tub with a view . Would not hesitate to recommend Longforth Cottage , just perfect

  • "One of the best properties my wife, friends and I have stayed in."

    On arrival, the place was fresh and clean. The en-suite’s in each bedroom was one of the reasons for booking the cottage. Its kitchen was more than adequately stocked with the necessary crockery and utensils, though the electric hob and oven took a wee while to master the controls. The separate dining room an added bonus to sit and enjoy an evening meal together. The living room with the wood burner stove made for cosy October evenings. An occasional dip in the hot tub was enjoyed on a couple of occasions during our stay and the front patio area was handy for viewing the scenery while enjoying a brew. Definitely somewhere we would return to and certainly recommend to friends. Thanks Derek for an enjoyable few days.

    From the welcome we received from Derek on arrival until we left we were made to feel so welcome and also so comfortable. The property is kitted out to the highest standard with great beds and showers, comfortable seating and everything you could want including a brilliant hot tub. There's a reason this property is so popular and we'll be booking it again

    The views were amazing and the cottage was homely and beautifully clean. The area is soooo quiet and the garden was a good size for family recreation. Local pub serves excellent food on the sea front which is only a few minutes walk away. Highly recommended.

    Derek was very welcoming and helpful. The location and view are great. One tiny niggle is the listing says EV charging is available for £5 a day. I was never going to recharge my Plug in Hybrid at that rate but EV charging is unavailable.

    Hi there thank you very much for your review. I have just checked the listing on Sykes and I cannot find where it states that EV charging is available at this property. We also state in our welcome booklet that we do not have any capabilities to support EV charging and that is why we direct people to our local town. The local town of Stranraer has multiple EV chargers available. Sorry about the inconvenience of this. Many Thanks Property Owner

    The attention to detail by our hosts Janice and Derek was second to none. There was nothing at all I could fault the cottage with, it was well equipped, immaculately cleaned and comfortable after a day exploring the area. Janice and Derek awaited us arriving and gave us a tour of the cottage and how to work the hot tub ( which our granddaughter was paddling in while chatting to them). The hot tub itself was a fantastic bonus to the cottage as was the lovely bottle of bubbly left for us! It wasn’t needed but said any problems at all, not to hesitate to let them know. My husband did chat with Derek during the week about the area on a day I was a little unwell, and I must say even being unwell didn’t dampen my spirits about the cottage. The views from the cottage and garden were amazing, looking out over the bay and to the Isle of Man. One highlight of the week was the view of the Super Blue Moon. We are regular cottage users and I can hand on heart say this was the best cottage we have ever stayed in, and all 3 of us were sorry our week came to an end. We will definitely be booking again in either the cottage or the 2 beautiful new lodges also available. Many thanks Janice and Derek for such a wonderful welcoming holiday.

    The friendliest of owners, the beautifully decorated furnishings, the hot tub and the views. I was saddened that my week R & R had ended. Such was the home and views, my husband and I found it hard to venture very far each day as we were so in awe of the beauty on our door step, we were lapping the opportunity to have some us time, with nice food and drink, the views and being away from the grindstone of work. This was certainly just what the doctors ordered as recovering from cancer, this holiday in Longforth Farm Cottage was impeccable.

There is a log burning fire with logs and kindling provided. A large corner sofa and single chair. There are board games in the cupboard to play.

The beds are comfortable and both bedrooms have lots of storage. The hot tub is amazing and takes this from being amazing to outstanding. Sitting outside in the hot tub with just the moonlight and sound of the sea in the nearby bay cannot be described. It is such a quiet place set back from any busy main roads or artificial street lights so you can really enjoy the peace and quiet. I cannot recommend this cottage highly enough.

  • "Fantastic cottage, set in the most picturesque place."

    Janice and Derek were lovely and very helpful with ideas of where to visit and where the nearest shops were. The beach was just a short walk away which the kids loved. The cottage was also very child friendly with no stairs and a large enclosed garden and the hot tub was enjoyed by all of us. Wish we could have stayed longer!

  • "We had a fantastic week long stay here starting with a very warm welcome from Janice and Derek."

    Beautiful scenery surrounding the cottage and nearby and set in a quiet and peaceful location. The cottage has been newly refurbished inside and out to a very high standard and made for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay with plenty of space for our little 1 year old to run around too. The cottage was very well equipped with all you might expect and more. We went cycling whilst here and having only one bike we were planning on renting a second but Derek offered his for us to borrow instead which was very kind. Overall we had a fantastic time.

  • "This cottage is amazing."

    It's a stunningly beauitful place. There is so much to do around there. Our host were amazing with a real knowledge of the area... Campbells is the place to eat and I recommended highly. There is everything you want and need there. I think the pictures just do not do the cottage justice. I would love to go back again, in fact I did not want to leave. I have stayed in a lot of cottages over the years and this one topped all of them. Thanks you Lesley and David

  • "We had a fantastic week here at Longforth Farm cottage, the view was unbelievable from the hot tub."

    The house was one of best we have ever stayed in and is very well equipped. The owners made us feel very welcome and the fresh eggs were delicious. They were really helpful with ideas for days out with the kids. We had a couple meals in the local pub the Cock Inn and the kids loved walking across the beach to get there 15 minutes walk. We hope to return.
