The well-equipped kitchen includes a breakfast area, electric cooker, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine, ensuring all the comforts of home. The bathroom is fitted with a bath and shower over, heated towel rail, and toilet.
One of the highlights of Shell Cottage is the private wood-fired hot tub, accommodating up to six guests. It's an ideal spot to unwind while gazing at the sea and stars. The surrounding garden provides ample space for children to play or for guests to relax amidst the soothing sounds of nature.
Shell Cottage's prime location on the edge of Portyerrock Bay ensures guests are captivated by the ever-changing seascape, regardless of the season. The nearby Isle of Whithorn is a charming coastal village steeped in history, closely associated with St. Ninian, who introduced Christianity to Scotland in 397 AD.
Visitors can explore the Whithorn Trust Visitor Centre, which offers insights into the region's rich archaeological heritage, including exhibitions like "Whithorn Cold Case" and "Face to Face with Whithorn's Bishops," featuring facial reconstructions and the magnificent Whithorn Crozier. The centre also provides guided tours to a reconstructed Iron Age roundhouse and houses a museum of early medieval carved stones.
For nature enthusiasts, the surrounding area offers scenic coastal walks, opportunities for bird watching, and the chance to visit St. Ninian's Cave, a site of historical pilgrimage. The Machars peninsula, where Whithorn is located, is renowned for its natural beauty and tranquil landscapes, providing a perfect backdrop for outdoor activities and exploration.
Whether seeking adventure or tranquillity, Shell Cottage serves as an ideal base to experience the unique blend of comfort and natural beauty that the Portyerrock and Whithorn areas have to offer.
