About this house rental

Southcliff House is an immaculate, luxury, spacious and contemporary Edwardian house, with stunning, breath-taking views over the Irish Sea. Southcliff house is a unique rural getaway, situated in the beautiful fishing village of Portpatick. The village is a picturesque cove nestled by cliffs and surrounded by natural beauty.

The space
Sleeps 10 with the option of additional sleeping. Three of the bedrooms have sofa beds, large enough for an additional two people. The bedrooms on the middle floor all have en-suites. Two with baths and separate showers and one with a wet room. On the top floor there are two bedrooms with a large bathroom situated on the landing between both bedrooms.

Downstairs there is a large kitchen, which is fully equipped with everything you will need during your stay. The living room is large with enough seating for 10 people. There is a 50 inch tv and a wood burning stove. The games room, with full size pool table, also has a wood burning stove, comfy sofa, board game table and beautiful views looking out to sea. The cloak room is large with a toilet and vanity area, great for storing boots, coats, bikes etc.


There is a large garden and terrace. The terrace is to the south side of the house looking across the sea. Great for barbecues.

The area
Southcliff house offers an ideal base from which to explore the surrounding area. From the challenging uplands of the Galloway Hills to gentle seaside trails, rolling moors and dramatic cliff-top walks, the Southern Upland Way, passing close by, presents the ideal focus from which to enjoy the many and varied walks within the region. The dramatic scenery is home to a rich company of flora and fauna, with many unusual species including pine martens, golden eagle, ospreys, red deer, red squirrels and the natterjack toad.
The area has many renowned gardens to visit including the Botanic Gardens in Port Logan. Wigtown, Scotland’s official book town, is also home to a charming gallery, excellent cafés, and is located only a few miles from Bladnoch Distillery, where visitors can sample the local malt whisky. For fishermen, the area offers a wide variety of opportunities including sea fishing from Portpatrick and both trout and salmon fishing close by. Other country pursuits are available including clay shooting and horse riding. Golfers will feel equally at home in this area with Stranraer, Portpatick and Lagganmore golf courses within a 20-minute drive. Turnberry, with its world famous course, is only 45 minutes away and also offers a spa, off road driving, quad biking and restaurant facilities. For the active there are numerous cycle routes set out in stunning forestry commission surroundings and cycle hire is available at the centres. Sailing is available from the local marina, and for those happy to travel slightly further afield, there is the Galloway Sailing Centre, where visitors can also try windsurfing, canoeing and power boating. From Stranraer, 15 miles, there is the ferry service to Ireland for a day trip. Beach 50 yards. Shop 250 yards, pub and restaurant 50 yards.

    Lovely property in a very scenic setting easily able to cope with 8 adults. Good location relative to the picturesque village, easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Somewhat dated in its appearance and furnishing, but nevertheless wonderfully comfortable. Period bathroom fittings worked to perfection. Very well equipped, but an advertised barbecue disappointingly turned out to be completely rusted away.

    We had a great family holiday at Southcliffe. The property is a great space and located in the heart of Portpatrick.

    The house was perfect for our needs. Very clean and comfortable with stunning sea views. The showers were excellent and the location in Port Patrick was ideal, close to pubs and restaurants and easy access to lovely walks.

    The listing on Vrbo doesn't do this house justice. It was much bigger and well presented than the pictures suggest which we were pleasantly surprised with. The check on process was seamless, friendly and courteous communication from Laura and when we arrived, the house was clean and tidy. Although it is situated next to a pub/restaurant/hotel, it was quiet and at night all you could hear was the sound of the waves. We have struggled to determine any negative with the house at all and would happily stay again. We all had a great time and would thoroughly recommend both Portpatrick and the house.

    This property did not meet our expectations. It has an excellent location and a good size for a large party but we found it was not to the standard we have come to expect based on the price asked.

    Fabulous Portpatrick Retreat!
    Fabulous Portpatrick Retreat!
    Southcliff House is magnificent, in both it's setting within Portpatrick and the rich architecture of the home. The bedrooms were all extremely spacious and comfortable, and the house supported our family of 9, which included a 16 month old. Even thought Southcliff was constructed in 1907, it is very well maintained, with modern amenities. We couldn't speak more highly of Laura (the owner). She was a pleasure to work with in preparing for our arrival, and was extremely responsive. Thank-you so much!! The town of Portpatrick is amazing, along with it's residents. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, and the local Pub's, Cafe's, and shops were outstanding and very affordable. Make time for several cliff top walks to explore all of the amazing views and walks, and don't forget about a quick trip down to The Mull of Galloway. The lighthouse and Café are absolutely worth the half-day trip. The ferry to Belfast (departs from Cairnryan) was the highlight of our week long visit. A long day, for sure, but totally worth the trip to see the Titanic Museum, Victoria Mall, Belfast City Hall, and experience the historical pubs throughout the City. Did I mention the Guinness and Smithwick's were to die for!!? The food was amazing as well. 10 out of 10 for this week long family vacation. We all had an absolutely amazing time, and we fully recommend Southcliff for large families. A truly beautiful home and location!
