About this property
Oystercatcher is a bright and airy bungalow positioned in the quaint village of Drummore, Scottish Lowlands; it is the most southerly village in Scotland! This two-bedroom property enjoys partial sea-views and is just paces away from fantastic beaches and amenities. It is family and pet-friendly, so bring along your loved ones and leave your vehicle in the off-road parking space. Step inside to the entrance hallway, where you can kick off your sandy shoes, ready to explore the scenic surroundings. Locate the navy blue kitchen, fitted with the amenities you need to make simple yet satisfying meals; it has an electric oven, five burner induction hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, and a coffee maker for a frothy coffee in the morning. From here, follow onto the living/dining room, a space that blends seamlessly together living and dining; it has a four-seater dining table, a plush sofa, and a Smart TV for when you want to veg out. Watch the sunset from the enclosed, rear garden with a cold beverage in hand whilst your furry friend sprawls out on the lawn. As the evening winds to a close, retire inside and wash the day away in the bathroom with either a soak amongst the bubbles in the bath or a quick shower. When sleep calls, there are two bedrooms, with a light grey décor, so you can choose between a super-king-size and a twin bedroom. A short stroll will lead you to Drummore Bay Beach; here you will find clear water and a great selection of wildlife and afterwards you can refuel at Mariners Coffee Shop or the Ship Inn. Just a short drive south will take you to the most southerly point in Scotland, the Mull of Galloway, one of the best places in the UK to see dolphins, porpoises and sea birds. You can climb to the top of the lighthouse and take in the sights or take a stroll around the peninsula. Visit Stranraer and enjoy all the history and natural beauty that this town has to offer! Agnew Park is a perfect place to take a stroll and relax, while the Castle of St. John and Stranraer Museum offer a fascinating look into the past. for the largest forest in the UK, venture to Galloway Forest Park, where you can spend the day exploring rich woodlands and enjoying picnics together. Don’t forget to take some spare carrots to feed the red deers! For a blend of country and coast, choose a stay at Oystercatcher. EPC Rating: Band C
Drummore is not only the largest and most southerly of all the Rhins settlements, but it is also the most southerly village in Scotland. This tranquil and beautiful fishing community, which has a Post Office, a charming port, and three local pubs, benefits from the Gulf Stream's warmth and receives less rainfall than the rest of Western Scotland, while the wind exhilarates walkers and outdoor enthusiasts alike throughout the winter months. The surrounding landscape is wild and spectacular, with views across Luce Bay to the Machars of Galloway, as well as views across the peninsula of Ireland's Antrim Hill, the Mountains of Mourne, the Cumbrian coast, and the ridge of Mona's Isle on the Isle of Man, which are all visible on a clear day.

Drummore is a lovely friendly little village and the local pub is dog friendly. And also does takeaway food. Oystercatcher was very clean and comfortable, there was no trace that dogs have stayed there previously so it is obviously cleaned to a high standard. When we arrived, the cottage was warm and cosy, an additional heater has been provided to assist the underfloor heating but we mostly switched this off as it was not needed. There was very windy weather during our stay and there was not a single draft coming through anywhere. The rooms are very spacious, the bed is very comfortable and a nice big fridge freezer in the kitchen was more than enough for our food and drinks for the week. The cottage looks exactly like the photos. We had an issue with the hot water during our stay and we contacted the owner for some tips and they were very helpful. Maybe we just expected a bit too much of the boiler so my advice to future guests would be to always boost the hot water (instructions are in the handbook) regardless if you think you are going to need it or not. We have been staying in cottages for the last 20 years, before it became fashionable and our friends and colleagues often ask for recommendations. We only recommend the really good ones and Oystercatcher will definitely be going on the recommendation list. They even provided a fleece blanket to cover the furniture so that our dog could enjoy the cottage too. We took our own but it was a lovely gesture. Things that I think the cottage needs to make it even better: A teapot. An outside tap, essential for dog friendly cottages when the dog has been on the beach. Some coat hooks behind the door in the hallway. We've had a very relaxing stay and would definitely return.

The house was very clean, comfortable and in a lovely quiet location. A beautiful beach just around the corner and a dog and child friendly pub 2 minutes down the road. We hope to revisit in the future.

The bungalow is lovely modern and all facilities you need. Our only comment is that a 5pm access to accommodation is late in the day especially for a winter break. The house was cold when we arrived and took couple hours to warm up. The Ship is great place to eat. Thank you.
