With uninterrupted sea views and direct access to a private beachfront, Morroch Bay and Beach Cottages is located in an enviable position along the western edge of the Rhins of Galloway peninsula, just 2.5 miles south of Portpatrick and 7.6 miles from Stranraer.

This unique offering combines lifestyle appeal with investment potential, featuring a four bedroom coastal home, a one bedroom cottage, a boating shed, and a shepherd’s hut, all set within approximately 27 acres of breathtaking natural landscape.

Morroch Bay is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) encompassing an important sequence of rocks known as the 'Glenkiln Shales' and 'Hartfell Shales', which are of great importance in understanding the formation and origins of the Southern Uplands. Wildlife is also abundant across the bay, with regular sightings of seals, seabirds, and birds of prey, enhancing the property’s appeal for nature lovers.

The two cottages within the bay are carefully positioned to maximise the spectacular surroundings and uninterrupted sea views, whilst the boat shed is perfectly placed for launching boats, kayaks or paddleboards. 

Morroch Cottage is a charming four bedroom country cottage, presented in a style perfectly suited to modern coastal living. It combines traditional character with contemporary comfort, whilst the extensive wraparound decking encourages outdoor living and entertaining. Adjacent to Morroch Cottage sits a shepherd’s hut providing additional bedroom space or a peaceful retreat.

A short distance along the shoreline is the second cottage, Southern Croft providing a more intimate retreat. This one bedroom cottage has been thoughtfully modernised and enjoys a prime south west facing position, complete with a wood burning stove, generous decking and direct steps to the beach.

Morroch Cottage served as the Morroch Cottage Tea Room which was run by Martha Galloway in the 1920s and 30s serving day-trippers from Portpatrick.

From 1990, the owners operated the cottages as holiday accommodation while also spending extensive time there with family and friends, creating lasting memories at Morroch Bay, culminating in their son’s wedding being held there in 2024.

Sheena Ramsay, handling the sale for Galbraith in Dumfries & Galloway, said: “Morroch Bay and Beach Cottages presents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire an entire private bay on Scotland’s beautiful south west coast. Accessible yet distinctly private, the two coastal cottages present a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial piece of unspoiled shoreline in the Galloway peninsula. Location wise it really doesn’t get much better than this.

“The sale should attract a variety of purchasers be it those looking for a holiday let business, coastal hideaway or lifestyle move ideal for multi-generational living. The two cottages are currently operated as highly successful holiday lets, and the business along with its contacts are available by separate negotiation.”
