Anchor Cottage is nestled in the picturesque harbour village of Garlieston on the Machars peninsula in Dumfries and Galloway. Just 32 miles from Stranraer, this former fisherman's cottage is in a beautiful spot just yards from the sea, with magnificent views out across Garlieston Bay.

This charming 19th century terraced cottage is right in the heart of Garlieston overlooking the village green to the front and just 200 yards from the nearest shop and pub. You can park right outside the door and there is an extensive enclosed garden to the rear.

The comfortable and snug living room has traditional wooden beams and a lovely ornate fireplace with open fire. There is a TV and DVD player, but much more likely to be watched are the ever-changing sea views out of the windows. Double doors then lead through to a superb sunroom that has French doors out to the garden, so you can really 'bring the outdoors in'.

The large contemporary kitchen is well-equipped, with a gas hob and electric oven. The dining area again has wooden beams and there is plenty of room for six people to dine. There is also a downstairs WC that is useful for those with limited mobility.

Upstairs there is a spacious double bedroom with king-size bed and en suite shower room, again with those wonderful sea views. There is a further bright double bedroom and a cosy twin room overlooking the garden, which is ideal for children. A smart, modern family bathroom with bath and shower over completes the accommodation.

The garden has a gravelled area with paved patio (with furniture) and even its very own palm tree!  Following through from that is an extensive enclosed grass area that is perfect for children to play in.
