From the owner

IMPORTANT - We have 6 chalets and have three listed here with separate calendars for availability. If the date you are looking for is showing unavailable here, please check the other pages.

This is an identical listing to the others for Ardwell Chalets but you will find more pictures on the main Ardwell Chalets listing under Mull of Galloway. Although we have six chalets this website only allows us to book one chalet for each listing before marking them as unavailable so we have chosen to list three separately. The Chalets are the perfect base for anyone looking for an affordable family holiday in peaceful surroundings in beautiful South West Scotland.The six wooden chalets are situated 20 yards from the shore of Luce Bay, and face across the bay with fine views of the Galloway Hills. They are on the edge of the tiny settlement of Ardwell, and the next village, Sandhead, has a shop, post office, a child-friendly pub which also serves good food and seven miles of sandy beach. Ten miles away is the busy little town of Stranraer on Loch Ryan with its leisure centre, swimming pool and other amenities.

In front of the chalets is a grassy area where children and pets can run around safely and within walking distance you can swim, paddle, sail and fish in the sea, or simply sit on the verandah and admire the peaceful rural scenery. Within walking distance are the renowned gardens of Ardwell House while The Mull of Galloway Trail, a footpath stretching 12 miles to the spectacular cliffs at Scotland's most southerly point, the Mull of Galloway, passes yards away from the chalets.

Built of Finnish design, the chalets are very attractive both inside and out, and have a high standard of insulation meaning they maintain a comfortable temperature in hot or cold weather. Each chalet has a good-sized living room, two bedrooms (one with twin beds and one with bunk beds), kitchenette and bathroom. They can comfortably accommodate four and by arrangement some can sleep up to six. The chalets are fully furnished and equipped with TV, electric water heater, cooker and refrigerator (£1 electricity slot meter), duvets, pillows, cutlery, crockery, cooking and cleaning utensils. Visitors are required only to bring sheets, duvet covers, towels and pillowcases. There is adequate space beside each chalet for a car, and some people meet up with friends at our neighbouring small caravan park. We also have a one-bedroom cottage 200 yards away at Ardwell House East Lodge, which is listed separately on Holiday Lettings.

The website only allows us to book one chalet before marking them all unavailable so chalets are listed separately.
