Morroch Bay contains two isolated beach cottages - Morroch Cottage & the Southern Croft.
They both have electricity and phones. Mobile phones don't usually work. TV is from Northern Ireland. Water is pumped (automatically!) from a well.
There's no postal or bin service.
However, both houses now have satellite broadband.
Opposite and highlighted below is the track down the cliff.
The Southern Croft is at the bottom of the cliff track.
Access is not for the fainthearted - you can drive along a rough track through fields to the cliff-top parking area and proceed on foot down a steep cliff path, although this is not an easy walk.
The track has a hairpin bend on a 45 degree gradient, but is comfortably handled with the correct vehicle and careful driving. Particular care should be taken on this track.(See the cliff track video!)
Experienced 4 wheel drive vehicle owners can drive to the cottage, but for other visitors, a transfer service is provided for guests and all baggage on arrival and departure.
Set in an idyllic coastal situation, 2 miles from the picturesque fishing village of Portpatrick in the south-west corner of Scotland, these unique beach cottages stand in their own private bay, facing south over the sea with a wonderful backdrop of high cliffs.
This remote situation on the Mull of Galloway is the perfect setting for a temporary escape from the world and ideal for
• artists
• birdwatchers
• divers
• families
• walkers
• writers
The bay may be rented exclusively with one or both houses.
The beach cottages are also available individually.
Both cottages have free Wi-Fi satellite broadband.
Morroch Cottage has lawns to the beach front and has a recently extended balcony / veranda bringing the kitchen & living areas outside to share the wonderful view and sound of the sea.

Once on the bay the isolation is complete. No house, nor shop, nor pub is within convenient walking distance. However, the village is only 10 minutes away by boat or Land Rover.

The Southern Croft enjoys a spectacular seafront position, a feature woodburning stove and underfloor heating.
This exclusive and romantic coast-line cottage is a magical honeymoon location.

On a clear day the Isle of Man can be seen, and at night the lighthouses on the Irish coast complement the stars as the only lights, save those from the comfortable crofthouses on the sea shore.
