Stayed Aug 23, 2025Helensdale is a fantastic place to stay. The views from the living room are incredible, I always take binoculars with me wherever I go as I enjoy bird watching (there are some binoculars in the property) and looking out on the bay was fantastic. I saw an array of birds and even managed to see 2 seals and a porpoise. Also on a clear day you can see the coastline of Northern Ireland. The property is very comfortable and clean and is quite deceptive space wise. Big kitchen with sun room and big living room. Bathrooms and bedrooms are also a good size. Highly recommended.

Stayed Aug 3, 2024Helendale was our second cottage in Scotland and we loved it like the other before. We were six people and two dogs and had space for everyone. The next shop is ten minutes away by car, but the reward is quitness, you are only hearing the sea and seagulls, and a stunning view for sundowners.

Stayed Mar 30, 2024A fantastic stay away from it all in a totally rural location. The house was really spacious and Elspeth, the owner, contacted us prior to our stay , sent directions and replied to queries really quickly. We would really love to go back. Thank you so much!

Stayed May 8, 2021Had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage. Very well equipped, and comfortable. Very peaceful, with great views, and lots of interesting wildlife around, which we watched from the large, airy lounge. Will be recommending to all our friends and family. Definitely will be coming back.

Stayed Sep 26, 2020This is truly a wonderful location if you need time and space to reset and restore body and soul. We enjoyed wonderful weather and walking on the Scottish Upland way and the Mull of Galloway trail. There is so much to see of interest within a short distance and the Botanical Gardens at Port Logan are a must visit, it was paradise on a beautiful warm sunny day. The cottage was warm and comfortable with everything we needed and the views over the bay were stunning. Elspeth and family were very helpful providing information during the challenging COVID -19 restrictions. We were warmly welcomed every where we went and we will return for sure. Thank you Jo and Mike Douglas
