Region: From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the ruggedness of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. Scotland also has some of Britain’s best beaches with glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam.

Town: Sandhead, a small coastal community in the council region of Dumfries and Galloway, is located in a stunning part of the country's southwest corner. The village is located on a hill overlooking Luce Bay, which is home to the Sands of Luce holiday park and a popular beach offering walks, horseback riding, fishing, swimming, and a sheltered bay with watersports. Other local conveniences include a general store, a post office, a pub (the Tigh Na Mara), a playground, and a football field. Starting in Stranraer, the Mull of Galloway Trail leads hikers to Scotland's most southern point, the Mull of Galloway, where they can enjoy the area's beautiful nature reserve, quaint coffee shop, and, of course, the magnificent lighthouse. Must-see nearby landmarks include the 400-year-old Kirkmadrine Stones, the 16th-century Dunskey Castle, and the magnificent Logan House & Gardens, which features enchanted woodlands and colourful gardens. Stranraer, commonly known as 'The Toon,' the placid fishing waters of Loch Ryan, and the entrancing Logan Botanic Gardens are just a few of the many must-sees in the region. Sandhead is a tranquil home base from which to explore all that the neighbourhood has to offer.

Cherry Tree Cottage is a lovely cottage set in a peaceful rural location. The beach and local shop are only a short drive away, making it an ideal base for exploring the area. The property is all on one level, with plenty of space both inside and around the cottage. Pet Friendly and safe area was great.There were a few minor issues during our stay. There was quite a lot of dust in some rooms, and we found some old food left in the cupboards. It would also have been helpful to have a few starter essentials provided, such as bin bags and hand wash.I contacted the owner to make him aware of these points, and he responded very quickly and positively, which was greatly appreciated. Hopefully these small issues will be addressed for future guests.It would also be useful if there was some information provided about the underfloor heating, as this was not immediately obvious.Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and found the cottage to be comfortable, spacious and well situated for exploring the local area.
