Tig Cottage

Quirky and beautiful, Tig Cottage is a home away from home for you if you long to take your dog on the holiday of their lives! Nestled deep in the heart of the Galloway and South Ayrshire UNESCO Biosphere, Tig Cottage is nestled in the rural Stinchar Valley, under wonderful dark skies that allow you to see right into the heart of the Milky Way (weather permitting, obviously!). Tig Cottage is just three miles from the coast at Ballantrae, an area of Special Scientific Interest due to it's wildlife and rocks, and a scenic twenty minute drive from the fabulously dog friendly town of Girvan. There's a wide selection of walks, for both advanced hikers and weekend amblers, both from your doorstep and starting just a short drive away. If walking in the countryside doesn't appeal, there's a variety of beaches - the rugged beach at Ballantrae, the beautiful sandy beach at Girvan (a recent award winner), the famous beach at Maidens...theres something to suit everyone and every dog! Tig Cottage has two bedrooms (a master, with a double bed) and a twin room (two single beds). There is a living room (windows on three sides and French doors out into the garden), a dining room and a well-equipped kitchen with everything you might need to cook up a romantic dinner or make sandwiches for picnics (please bring your own food!). There is a washing machine but not a dryer. The bathroom is on the ground floor, while the bedrooms are on the first floor. The garden has a decking area to enjoy the sun during the day or watch the sun set over the hills, and there is a gorge at the bottom of the garden where a small river runs through. The garden is not dog secure and has rabbits and occasionally other countryside mammals - we strongly recommend keeping your dog on a lead in the garden.
