About this cottage rental
Surrounded by the rolling Galloway Hills, this beautifully converted byre situated on the Machars Peninsula warmed by the Gulf Stream.. Located in peaceful countryside and surrounded by the rolling Galloway Hills, these two adjoining byre holiday conversions provide an ideal base from which to explore this quiet Machars Peninsula with its rugged coastline and sandy beaches. Beautifully converted and furnished, they are set on an organic sheep and beef farm accessed by a well-maintained farm road and provide an ideal place to relax and unwind. On the farm, the owner milks 130 organic dairy cows and make cheese from some of the milk. They also buy in sheep and goats milk to produce a range of Cairnsmore and Millairies cheese which are available to try in the farmshop. Home to some of the most beautiful and exotic gardens, the area benefits from a temperate climate due to the gulf stream, and is a paradise for nature lovers and birdwatchers. With the beautiful Galloway Forest Park and seven stanes close by, this is a popular area for walkers and cyclists of all abilities. Sea, river and loch fishing available in the surrounding area with sailing, watersports and golf in abundance. Wigtown, Scotland’s national book town and Whithorn’s historic dig and priory all nearby, while Newton Stewart has a good range of shops, pubs, eateries, cinema and swimming pool. There are also good tennis courts and an 18-hole golf course. Shop 1 mile, pub 3 miles.. 1 step to entrance.

8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
If you want peace this is for you . This is a working farm so you should be aware there are cows and tractor movements but to be honest it wasnt intrusive, in fact we found the young cows comical.

My third stay at this lovely cottage (and I’ve stayed 3 times at its sister cottage Quiet). Always excellent. I cannot fault it for cleanliness and it is very well equipped. My dog loves the proximity to Garlieston beach for long off-lead walks!

As it states in the name, peace is definitely what it is. If you like a rural location with local scenic areas for walking and passing the time, this is the place for you. Loved the local harbour town of Garlieston, did quite a few walks from there, the Harbour Inn is a really friendly pub, food was good, The Hive Cafe is supurb for coffee and scones or cakes and also very friendly. Really recharged our batteries for a week. Thank you.
