The Balcary Bay Hotel and coastal walks are approximately 2 1/2 miles away. The attractive towns of Kirkcudbright and Castle Douglas are both nearby and are both well worth exploring.

Collin Hill House is a comfortable holiday home in an ideal rural location for exploring the area. The view from the front window over Auchencairn Bay and Hestan island is magnificent. We would have to say that the photographs on the website do flatter the property a bit, although this did not detract from our break.

Had a really peaceful and restful stay...which was just what I wanted. The house was well equipped and comfortable and in a beautiful setting and has breathtaking views of the countryside and Auchencairn Bay. Loved the conservatory and the garden.

A wonderful spacious and comfortable house in a glorious setting. Spotlessly clean and with everything you would want in a home from home. We had a fabulous time and can’t wait to return. Thank you Phillipa
