Hammy's Cottage Drummore

Hammy's Cottage is in Drummore, down at the very bottom of Scotland. It's a small, end-terrace cottage. You park right outside.

It sleeps four. Two bedrooms upstairs, one double and one twin. There's a bathroom downstairs with a shower. It's got a 4 Star rating so it's comfortable and well-equipped. The stairs are standard cottage stairs, a bit steeper than a modern house.

The living room has a wood-burning stove. The back door opens onto a private, sunny courtyard. It's a good spot if you've got the dog with you.

The beach is about a hundred yards away. You get a clear view across Luce Bay from there. The village pub is a mile up the road.

Logan Botanical Garden is about ten minutes' drive away. It's worth a visit. Further along the peninsula is the Mull of Galloway. The RSPB run the nature reserve there. It gets busy with seabirds in spring and summer. You sometimes see dolphins or porpoises from the point.

For walking, the Southern Upland Way and other coastal paths are right on the doorstep. If you're into mountain biking, the nearest of the 7stanes trails is at Kirroughtree, about a 40-minute drive.

Facilities: it's got a washing machine, Wi-Fi, TV. Bedding and towels are included. You can bring up to two dogs. There's an enclosed courtyard.
