SELF CATERING HOLIDAY CHALETS ALONGSIDE LUCE BAY, 10 MILES SOUTH OF STRANRAER, IN THE SOUTH RHINS OF GALLOWAY, SCOTLAND. PEACE, QUIET, BIG SKIES, IT'S THE NATURAL PLACE!

Our self catering holiday chalets stand within 100 yards of Luce Bay. The chalets are well situated for the gardens at the nearby Ardwell House on Ardwell Estate. The famous RHS Logan Botanic Garden is about 2 miles away to the south on the way to Port Logan. Port Logan was used for the filming of '2000 Acres of Sky', and has an Inn offering evening and lunchtime meals.

Slightly further afield are Glenwhan Gardens at Dunragit, and Castle Kennedy Gardens. Each of these is well worth a visit and there is much to see at each location that is unique to that particular garden.

The village of Sandhead, about 3 miles away, features the Tigh Na Mara hotel-restaurant, ideal for evening meals, plus a general store/post office, and tearoom.

Ten miles north of Ardwell is the ferry port of Stranraer, with its Leisure Centre offering swimming pools, sauna, weights, gym and live entertainment. There are a number of restaurants, fast food outlets, pizzarias, supermarkets and - of course - the fast ferry to Northern Ireland. ( Check out the special Day Return offers from Stena ). It takes just 90 minutes to sail across to Belfast with its shops and stores. An ideal day out!

Around 12 miles to the south of ardwell is Scotland's most southerly point; The Mull of Galloway. With its dramatic 300 foot high cliffs, and stunning views of the Isle of Man, England, Scotland and Ireland, it really is the place to visit. There is an award winning tea-rooom built, Hobbit fashion, partly into the hillside. Drummore itself offers a couple of pubs (The Queens and the Ship Inn) plus a general store and a visitor information centre.

Go west some eight or so miles, and you wil find the fishing village of Portpatrick, with its fine seafood restaurants, craft shops, annual Folk Festival and the annual Lifeboat Week. There is a Pitch and Putt course and all weather sports pitch too. Portpatrick has two golf courses - 18 hole and 9 hole on which visitors can play too. Stranraer Golf Course is on the shores of Loch Ryan, about 14 miles north, whilst Lagganmore Golf Course is on the way to Portpatrick.
