Extremely spacious three bedroom apartment, which is superbly well equipped (such as all the kitchen stuff you could ever need, lots of books, board games, smart TV etc). Amazing views out over the sea on one side and out over the gardens to the hills on another side. The property has access to a large garden too. One of the reasons we chose this place was that it is pet-friendly, so I could bring my dog with me.We spent most of the week walking the local beaches and forests, and visiting various villages (Kippford, which has a good cafe, Rockcliffe and New Abbey being our favourites). Nearby Londis shop at Colvend came in handy, and we went to Castle Douglas for the Tesco supermarket. Great fish and chips from Scoffers in Colvend too. Loch Arthur Farm Shop and Cafe also worth a visit, although not particularly dog-friendly (we did get to sit outside in the wind and rain, though...).If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing holiday in a beautiful part of the country, I highly recommend Portling View as a great place to stay.

Lovely location and a good spot for walking and touring the Dumfries and Galloway coast.

Well appointed kitchen, light good sized rooms. Lacked some finesse in that duvets and pillows were of poor quality, picture hooks left on walls, curtains tacked to walls etc

Thank you very much and we welcome your useful and constructive feedback. The finesse points as listed will be addressed. Regarding the duvets and pillows: all are new this year but we avoid the higher "quality" duck down/feather based options due to health risks for guests (allergies). But we note your comment and will look into options to further improve them.

Comfortable flat in a great setting

We really enjoyed our stay in Portling View. The accommodation worked really well for us (three adults and a dog). It is a comfortable flat with a very well equipped kitchen. The garden area is a short distance from the door, and it worked really well for morning and evening dog runs. The fine weather meant we enjoyed numerous local walks, and if you are looking for something a little different then the Segway tours at nearby Gorsebank Active can't be bettered - even for us as seniors!

Solway coast retreat

This 1st floor apartment with views of the coast is spacious, comfortable, warm and well-equipped, although the decor is rather bland. It's off the main road so lovely and quiet and only a 10 minute walk to the beach. We enjoyed some splendid coast walks straight from the apartment which can be shortened by catching the bus which stops on the main road 5 mins walk away. Dogs are welcome and have their own secure garden and even a tap to wash muddy paws. The shop at Colvend half a mile away is well-stocked with essentials and treats. All in all, highly recommended for those who appreciate a tranquil spot close to the coast.

Excellent to hear how much you enjoyed your holiday, it is a super spot and the beach is so quiet you almost have it to yourself, hope you will be able to visit again.

Great stay

The property was extremely spacious and very well equipped. It was spotlessly clean and in a beautiful location. The secure garden was great for our dog. The little beach was 5 minutes walk and the best in the area. There were some lovely walks in the vicinity and a couple of good pubs in the village of Kippford. We had a lovely stay.

Lovely and Quite beautiful

A great first floor stay with three bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and ensuit and living/dining room. Very well appointed with everything you need from cutlery to glasses and pans, tv and bedding with towels. Can't ask for more. One hour from M6 and central to everywhere in Dumfries and Galloway. David is on hand but never intrusive.
