 Eldrick Hill Cottage
Stranraer.,United Kingdom
With uninterrupted views over open countryside, this detached cottage has been renovated to the highest of standards. Accessed via a rough track, it provides a peaceful setting from which to explore the surrounding countryside. From the challenging uplands of the Galloway Hills to gentle seaside trails, rolling moors and dramatic cliff-top walks, the Southern Upland Way presents the ideal focus from which to enjoy the many and varied shorter walks within the region. The open wilderness and dramatic scenery is home to a rich company of flora and fauna, with many unusual species including pine martens, golden eagles, ospreys, red deer, red squirrels and the natterjack toad. Port Patrick, with its lively and picturesque harbour, craft shops and good selection of restaurants is only 10 minutes' away and the area has many renowned gardens to visit, including the Botanic Gardens at Port Logan. From Stranraer, there is the ferry service to Ireland for a day trip. Wigtown - Scotland's official book town, is also home to a charming gallery, excellent cafes and is located only a few miles from the Bladnoch Distillery, where visitors can sample the local malt whisky. For fishermen the area offers a wide variety of opportunities including Sea fishing from Portpatrick and both Trout and salmon fishing locally, the Sports shop in Stranraer can provide details as required. Other country pursuits are available including shooting at nearby farms and riding at one of the local equestrian centres. Golfers will feel equally at home in this area with Stranraer, Portpatrick and Lagganmore golf courses within a 20 minutes drive. Turnberry, which will host the 2009 Open golf championship, is only 45 minutes away and also offers a Spa, off road driving and Quad biking activities as well as the world renowned golf links and restaurant facilities. For the active there are numerous cycle routes set out in stunning forestry commission surroundings and cycle hire is also available at these centres.
