    All of it, property was clean, well equipped and comfortable. Viv and Martin were friendly and helpful and went out of their way to help. Plenty of parking on site, situated out in the country but close to Stranraer for shopping etc. Instructions given to us for finding the property were detailed and accurate making sure we found it without problems.

    Nothing to dislike, everything was spot on.

    The cottage was simply perfect. Clean, comfortable, spacious and fully equipped with everything you could need. The area itself was nice and peaceful, and just what we were looking for. Martin was extremely friendly and welcoming, he cleaned and bleached the climbing frame, swings and slide for our daughter, and allowed her to give Harvey his treats. Myself, my wife and our 9 year old daughter had a great time visiting various places around the area, I would highly recommend Stranraer for a peaceful break, and would whole heartedly recommend Crailloch Croft Cottages. I would book again without any hesitation. Definitely 10 out of 10.

The owners are just amazing very helpful and informative. Sandhead is a lovely beach area, Logan botanic gardens are beautiful with a £10 per person entrance fee. The shops are a 5 min drive from the cottage .

    The only problem was the wifi and mobile phone signal. The hosts tried to sort us out, but even then I only got a very weak wifi signal in one corner of the living room and it was very intermittent. There was no network for Three customers so the phone could only be used away from the house.

    The cottage was in a beautiful, tranquil location and well positioned to visit places of interest such as Logan Botanic Gardens, Castle Kennedy Gardens, the Mull of Galloway with its fabulous cliffs and lighthouse and local coastal villages like Portpatrick. It was also a very easy journey into the Forest of Galloway and the Galloway mountains and Loch Trool. The cottage was spotless and extremely well equipped and the hosts were friendly and helpful.

    When looking out the cottage window 2/3 of the window had a view over looking the hills but 1/3 looked on to a brick wall . When you stepped out the door you were right on to the wall and the other two cottages would have to pass your window so felt I had to keep the blinds drawn over as when they came out stable cottage they had to walk directly to elm cottage and cross the stairs right outside our door which were loose and noisy. Although it wasn't a big problem for us as we were the only ones there from the Saturday until the Thursday so only a couple of days we had to share the doorsteps. Wouldn't put me off using the cottage again but some people might not like it everyone passing there window. The shower was very small if you were bigger than 16/18 think it would be a bit of a struggle to use it comfortably.

    Was comfortable , clean and well stocked.
