Sunnyside

Sunnyside Cottage was absolutely fabulous.

It ticked every box for what we needed. Very comfortable beds with good quality bedding. Plenty of sofas dotted throughout that were comfortable to sit on. An enclosed garden that our dogs loved. A fabulous corner bath to soak in after a day out exploring. The kitchen had everything you could need and I was able to cook an assortment of meals. Was also able to get Asda food deliveries to the door. We went to many beaches in the area which were so lovely. Even ventured out to Mull of Galloway lighthouse which I highly recommend. We were kept nice and warm even when storm Chandry went through. We were supposed to only stay for one week but fell in love with the cottage and the isle of whithorn that we booked for a further week. We were very sad to leave this place. Our new favourite place.

Beautiful remote cottage, has everything you need for your time away, home from home with lovely open fields, secure garden for the furballs and children, we just spent Christmas here, and after the 3rd day, booked it for our two week holiday in June and we can’t wait to go back, it is a fair distance from the supermarket so a big shop is needed, and the fridge freezer is big enough to accommodate a big shop, the Sea and town of Isle of Whithorn are practically on your doorstep and there is a cafe there that we will visit in the summer.

We have just returned from our short trip to your cottage, I am already wishing I was back there.

If anything I feel your listing doesn't do it justice. Sunnyside has everything in it that you could need and more, it is a lovely place in an ideal location to explore the area. Great outside space if you have a dog and lot's of space inside, I loved the quirkyness of the layout. I spent most of the time I spent inside sitting in the conservatory, watching the sunrise, looking in awe at the stars overload in the night sky or feeling warm and snug with my book as the rain and wind gave a bit of a battering. What more can I say, I loved it xx

Sunnyside is lovely and dog friendly.

Unfortunately had to leave earlier than we expected but would definitely recommend this property and hope to be back

By far one of the best property’s we’ve ever stayed in garden was lovely never been to such a well equipped house we couldn’t believe how well thought out this property was we wanted for absolutely nothing .

Had my disabled Lad with me who relies on Internet to settle was absolutely perfect very strong signal probably better than home .There was every pot pan bowl cup plate utensil you could think of the cooker was brilliant so comfortable both Sofas and beds everything was more than expected. The location was so ideal for us bedrooms and beds perfect layout our only wish was we had booked longer The place was spotlessly clean when we arrived we actually forgot a few things sure enough they where already there we will 100 percent be back next year thank you for a amazing stay 10-10 from us

A really nice, isolated and quiet place to stay.

The cottage was warm comfortable and had all we wanted. The garden was secure for the dog. One thing I would have appreciated was a grab rail for getting in and out of the bath-shower as I'm a pensioner and felt a little insecure, but it is only a minor point. We both really enjoyed our stay even when storm Amy hit Scotland. We would book again we loved it.

Wonderful accommodation tranquil and quirky.

Fully equipped with everything you will need the bed very comfortable outstanding views great secure garden area. Good communication with owners at all times

Comfortable but needs attention rusty fittings in bathroom very bad dog smell on the covers in lounge and carpet garden needs attention toaster not working properly dead flys everywhere we had to clean up hoover stinks

Can't fault the place.

Very clean, good, no-frills accommodation with a dog-friendly garden (though cows in the neighbouring field were doing their best to demolish the separating wall!). One toilet/bathroom between the five of us. The twin bedroom is accessed through the main double bedroom, which might be a pivacy issue for some; the second double is accessed via the dining-kitchen. That well-eqippped kitchen area itself is split between the dining-kichen and a kitchen-utility room, which takes just a little adjusting to. Front door enters into a nice sun room (too hot in August '25!), and there's a comfy living room too, with TV (which we never used). Wifi is great. Cottage is nicely situated, just a five–ten minute gentle walk from Isle of Whithorn, where the Steam Packet Inn serves superb food and its own Five Kingdom Brewery ales – the best I can remember tasting – and occasionally has live music.

Hello Thanks for a great stay.

Lovely cottage and secure garden. The gardener came the day before we left, which was good, as the grass was quite long when we arrived. Bedding, linen and towels all lovely and fresh and clean Must say, as have a few before, quite a Doggy smell in the lounge, but was soon cleared with some windows opened. However, alot of flies too. Maybe a combination of hot weather, farmers fields being cut nearby and cows in the field. But again, soon sorted with a spray about . I understand the owners don't live nearby (they actually live 5 miles from where I was born!) So hopefully appreciate the comments and maybe a Deep Clean round should be on the cards soon. But location good, easy to walk into the Village. Off road parking. Good size TV, Bed and good Internet. Everything you needed in the kitchen too.

Great accommodation in a very quiet part of the world.

Very comfortable accommodation. Garden was great for our dog. Great communication with the owner. This is our second visit to Sunnyside and I’m sure we’ll be back

This lovely cottage was an oasis for us.

Total peace with time to appreciate the busy birds and gorgeous butterfly’s. If you need a balm for the soul then this is the place for it.

We loved the quirkiness of the cottage and found it to be very well equipped.

The garden was great for our 2 dogs and we all really took to the neighbouring cows who were very sociable. We planned ahead and arranged a food delivery with Morrisons which I’d recommend.

Lovely cosy place to stay with lovely views of the countryside.

Great location to explore from.

Great cottage in a great location.

Very spacious and clean with everything that you need.

The cottage was everything we'd hoped for, and in a beautiful location we booked last minute on the day we arrived for our wedding anniversary as we wasn't sure we'd be able to get away so wasn't sure everything would be ready but it was perfect we would definitely recommend and will be back again in the future

Found the owner very helpful.

Just what we needed. And we will definitely stay again.

A lovely place to spend a week.

It's a really peaceful, quiet place, which makes relaxing easy. The conservatory is a great place to sit. The living room is comfortable, with 3 sofas and a big TV. Wifi is good (30+mb). Loved the doggy cupboard, as did our 4 legged friend! Good garden and kitchen. Only real downsides were sleeping issues: the double is a twin, with an uncomfortable gap in the middle, the king is less uncomfrotable, but still with a gap in the middle. They should really be a double and king base and mattress imo, for sleep comfort. The king duvet had numerous stains and needs replaced. The twin room has blinds that let a lot of light in at the sides. Overall though, a really nice cottage to unwind in, mostly very comfortable, and the peacefulness is lovely, we really enjoyed staying there.

All I can say is everything was excellent.

The scenery, the cottage and the people in the village who were extremely welcoming

A lovely cosy cottage, but there were some issues.

The kitchen tap dripped, clearly an ongoing issue having read others' feedback; there were dirty dishes that we had to wash before using; we had to buy washing up liquid as it ran out after a couple of days; conservatory door handles were very loose; no information about local amenities or dog walks; the outside garden light does not work; all garden gates, except the main one, have rusted bolts and cannot be opened; old, bleach stained towels for us to use. Clearly a lot needs to be done to get the cottage up to standard.

Fabulous cottage, just a field away from the lovely coastal path on quiet country lane.

Only five minutes walk from the village. Stunning coastline and lots of peaceful walks in the vicinity; including walks straight from the door. Quirky layout, but we had everything we needed.

Great bungalow, very clean and warm

Very peaceful and comfortable cottage, and a good access point for exploring the area.

Several lovely beaches nearby that offer spectacular views and dog friendly. The cottage has everything you need to kick-start your holiday and we arranged a shopping delivery for the day we arrived which really made settling in easy (we used Morrisons for this and had a very friendly delivery driver). Plenty of room for you to make yourself at home and garden is spacious and well kept (with some adorable cows in the field next-door). Only piece of advice for the garden if you're travelling with dogs is it's enclosed with a stone wall that does have some low height areas so just to keep a watch if you have an escape artist! But would absolutely recommend this cottage for a relaxing holiday.

We really enjoyed our stay.

Cottage is in a beautiful location. Very quiet but only short walk into the village. Cottage was very clean and comfortable and easy and relaxing to live in. Kitchen was good for cooking. Beautiful views across the fields. We would stay here again.

Beautiful Cottage, everything you require, but the ongoing issues that were reported after every visit were never fixed.

The dripping tap in kitchen. The Fridge doesn’t work, didn’t even keep the milk cool, we had to dispose of food because the fridge didn’t work. The overgrown weeds surrounding the garden and the grass didn’t look like it had been cut in months. We found a notice in the conservatory to keep WiFi extender on, but this plug was burned out. This cottage is in need of some TLC.

A great cottage in a fantastic location.

Some architectural quirks (one bedroom leads off another, kitchen split between two rooms) but still very comfortable and spacious. Owners were very communicative and helpful. We had a great time!

A lovely cottage with plenty of room and a well equipped kitchen.

An enclosed garden that was a little overgrown but this sort of added a certain ambiance! Plenty of great walks in the area. The girls particularly enjoyed the Highland Cows experience at Kitchen Coos and ewes a short drive towards Stranraer. Had an issue with fridge playing up but these things happen. We informed owner who was doing his best to sort it as quickly as possible. All in all a lovely experience.

Comfortable cottage in a rural location.

Welcome pack on arrival a nice unexpected touch. Well equipped kitchen and spacious enclosed garden. Lovely coastal walks a short distance away and would recommend the community cafe and Steam packet inn for food. Would stay again.

Extremely comfortable place to stay, had the best stocked kitchen I have ever experienced for a rental.

It was obviously owned by people who also thought about pet care and their comforts, for example the "dog proofed" area of the garden was ideal. I would definitely visit again

Had a great time at Sunnyside, The cottage is cozy and well equipped, Nice kitchen and cooker with lots of space, Good secure garden to the rear.

Welcome pack was much appreciated after a long journey, Only a ten minute walk into the village where the cafe and pub are worth visiting, Fantastic walks and beaches in the area with stunning scenery and enough to keep us busy here for the week and a lovely cottage to return to and relax, Full marks, Many thanks.

Had a great weekend cottage was perfect for us .

We found it very clean and tidy great garden for dogs.Thankyou for welcome tray. We hope to be back soon.

Beautiful remote location if you want to unwind.

However the cottage is very dated and in need of some modernisation and a deep clean. When we arrived there was no key in the safe as promised so after driving over 200 miles we had to phone the owner and wait for the cleaner to bring the keys. After sitting on the drive for an hour we eventually had access to the property which was cold as the heating had been switched off found several unacceptable issues including dirty bedding ( paw prints and dog hairs on pillows and bedding). Dog poo on the garden, overturned garden furniture, mucky streaks on patio doors, cobwebs hanging in lounge, sofa spring broke, black mould on shower curtain and in cupboards, drawers in wardrobe that could not be opened and conservatory furniture in desperate need of a deep clean. It would appear issues have been raised or logged by previous guests but not acted upon. First time we have ever been disappointed with a Sykes cottage holiday.

Absolutely fabulous peaceful cottage, clean and comfortable.

Garden great for my dogs. Well equipped and cosy, beds extremely comfortable. Would definitely recommended. Loved it. Weather was kind sunshine and showers, last day has storms it was amazing. Thank you.

The Property is located i the most amazing place and as pritty much everything you need it is very peaceful and quite will be back and again thankyou

Great cottage and fabulous location, well equipped and comfortable.

The gardens are dog safe - especially for 3 small dogs who cannot jump over the walls. We left some property behind and this was returned by lunchtime the next day. Outstanding service for which we are externally grateful. The conservatory is a great place to sit and have afternoon tea, whatever the weather. We would definitely come back for a return visit.

Fabulous cottage in a wonderful location.

Enjoyed every minute even the storm we had but you don’t go to Scotland for the sun! Dogs loved it, comfy and lots of kitchen crockery which we have never had before. The garden was lovely just a word of warning if your dog is a jumper the walls surrounding the garden are not high and one of ours did get over at one point, also the cows in the field next door do like to say hello. All in all we would return we even saw the Northern Lights a first for us. Defo recommend.

We had a lovely time at sunnyside cottage rooms were comfortable kitchen was well equipped everything you needed great garden for dogs short walk to sea front lovely walks kids loved the cows in the fields from the garden Plenty wildlife a round the harbour was great looking out for seals and sea birds lovely.

Would definitely go back thank you for letting our family stay at your lovely cottage

Amazing cottage, very spacious, very clean, had everything we needed for our stay.

Location was perfect, we love the Isle of Whithorn and this was a 5/10 minute walk from the harbour. Gorgeous surroundings and very peaceful. We visited with 2 young ones who loved playing in the garden and waving to the neighbouring cows! Highly recommend and would definitely book again! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Clean, spacious, comfortable home from home and dog friendly too.

Everything provided for one could possibly need. Lovely location and only a short stroll from the beautiful Isle of Whithorn. Welcome tray very welcome after a long drive ! Outside area esp the patio could do with a bit of TLC. A grass cutting team came whilst we were there but it was just grass cutting and no general garden maintenance, just a minor point, did not detract from the enjoyment of our stay. Would not hesitate to come back again.

The property is very nice and is in a really good location, we enjoyed walking to the harbour each night and the views were fantastic, the cottage has all that you need to make your stay as comfortable as it can be.

If I could mention one point, I think the external patio area could do with some TLC, maybe paved more and weeded regularly, but on the whole an excellent stay.

We loved the cottage and its remote situation.

The directions were clear and after a long journey travelling over two days from Southern England this was much appreciated! The whole place was clean and tidy - I hope we left it as we found it. We also appreciated the little welcome pack of basics - the scones especially! We loved the village and the walk to the harbour - we had a meal at the pub one evening with our family who live nearby and sat outside watching the sun go down - lovely! The walk to the headland is beautiful and allowed our dog a bit of "off lead" time. They had seen dolphins out in the bay the previous week so we were very disappointed not to make a sighting and teased them that they had "bigged up" the place too much!! In fact we had a wonderful holiday - the local villages were nice, we visited two botanical gardens on the peninsula. And the weather was perfect too. It was just sad that we had to cut our stay short because of commitments at home. We intend to return to visit my cousin again and would stay in the cottage another time if its available. Thank you

Fabulous cottage .

beautiful area . much needed break made very enjoyable by a peaceful break from reality . many thanks .

A great short break getaway.

Lovely accommodation with a nice garden for our two dogs.

Fantastic Cottage in lovely remote location - surrounded by friendly dairy cows - we recommend you buy food before you get there in Newton Stewart.

Lovely local pub with cooked meals. Nice vibe excellent beer brewed. We brought some home the tea shop sells it! Visit to Mull of Galloway lighthouse, Wigtown and Kirkcudbright a must. Would like to return again.

fantastic cottage,in a peaceful location,the cottage was spotless when we arrived,ample blankets,towels and the master bedroom bed was so comfy with good quality bedding kitchen well stocked,the oven was spotless,super conservatory just so peaceful just the birds to listen to outside thank you to Karen and mike for sharing there wonderful cottage

Thankyou for an amazing week at Sunnyside.

The house was gorgeous and unbelievably equipped with everything we needed. Great having a firestick on hand especially for the children. Loved the location (within walking distance if the beach and tea rooms). Massive garden for kids and dogs.

What a lovely cottage well equipped everything you need.

Beautiful garden and safe for dogs. Very clean and loverly furnished, and the beds very comfortable. Owners Mike and Karen very helpful. The area is beautiful and plenty to see and visit, we went for Fish and Chips in village cafe very nice. We would go back.

We loved the cottage and was perfect for Christmas.

Brilliant stay as always and looking forward to a return visit in March.

Highly recommended cottage

Well equipped clean and tidy cottage.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wish we could have had longer there.

Beautiful location.

Superb facilities. Wonderful enclosed garden for dogs. Will be going back.

We had a lovely holiday in your beautiful cottage.

Very cosy, with comfortable beds, the cottage was lovely & warm. Thank you for the thoughtful supplies you left, much appreciated. We noted the message about the wobbly loo seat & shelf & set about putting them right. We found the missing shelf pin & put it back in place. The loo seat was secured with metal fixings purchased in Kirkcudbright, until your repair can be done. Very effective! Unfortunately we did have a little accident with one of the tall glasses falling off the draining board on our last morning. Very sorry about this, it'll teach us to congratulate ourselves too early on successfully completed the week with no damage! We purchased some tablespoons to add to your supply of cutlery as a gift, it was a little difficult to serve things out with the smaller ones. That being our only complaint. All in all we had a perfect week & would recommend your cottage to everyone

The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed.

The beds were sooo comfortable. The area is beautiful and well worth exploring. The owners are lovely to deal with and very helpful. We would love to go back.

Sunnyside Cottage is beautiful, no issues with it at all perfect cottage in a perfect setting.

The Isle is a stunning peaceful place and Sunnyside is only a five minute walk away. Steampacket Inn also great recommend the 5 Kingdoms beer. All in all I highly recommend Sunnyside Cottage, have already booked next year.

We don't have an Amazon account only netflix so our TV was very limited to only Freeview, but it's a lovely property

The house was very well equipped.

Fantastic location. Not as far out of the village as we thought. Garden was great. And we even had the weather. We will be back. Thank you

Rooms, facilities and interior and exterior space provided everything for 6 people and 3 dogs.

This allowed the family and their pets to meet up after being apart for the past Three Years. Thank you.

Fantastic 4 nights everything you could wish for a quiet very nice property,conservatory was lovely to sit in early morning with a brew.

Excellent stay.

Would highly recommend for those who like a peaceful and calm holiday. It was so nice. The kitchen is so well equipped and sitting in the conservatory on a night looking at the stars was lovely. Thank you.

Beautiful cottage in a stunning location.

The cottage was well equipped and very clean. It definitely suits a family as the main bedroom and twin bedroom are joined together. Our dogs had a great time. The only small thing I would suggest is some sort of preventative measure for stopping dogs jumping the wall into the neighbouring cow field. Even a well trained dog is too tempted by them.

Absolutely beautiful cottage in a brilliant location if you want peace and quiet.

My boy Miles had the time of his life on the local beaches. The garden was great too being able to relax & know he was safe, even though the cows in the field mesmerised him. Will be back !!

Beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings.

Excellent enclosed large garden that my dog really enjoyed. Had a great stay and would highly recommend. Very peaceful!

Arriving after 8 hours in the car

Fabulous cottage!

Very well equipped and furnished. One of the best we have ever been to particularly as it is so dog friendly with a secure garden and no near neighbours. Cannot recommend highly enough. We have already booked a revisit!

Sunnyside is really comfortable and well appointed.

It’s great for dogs with a safe garden and lots of nearby walks. Comfy beds, thick duvets, new settees, all mod cons. Great location to explore this remote corner of Scotland. Highly recommend and hope to return.
