Portpatrick is perfectly placed to enjoy the challenging uplands of the Galloway Hills, to the more 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 shorter 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, and 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 shooting and riding. Golfers will feel equally at home in this area with Stranraer, Portpatrick and Lagganmore golf courses within a 20-minute drive, while Turnberry, with its world famous course is only 45 minutes away and also offers a spa, off road driving, quad biking activities and restaurant facilities. For the more active there are numerous cycle routes set out in stunning forestry commission surroundings, and cycle hire is available at these centres. Sailing is available via 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, 6½ miles, there is the ferry service to Ireland for a day trip. Beach 200 yards. Shop, pub and restaurant 200 yards.

    Overall the house was lovely. Nice walk to harbour only takes 10 mins. Hot tub good, beds very comfy, fridges adequate. Upstairs living room with fridges, bar, pool table, reclining chairs were all great. Always had hot water. Loved the pink chairs. Yes could do with a wee spruce here and there but overall lovely house and had a good time. Def recommend.

    The Property is very nice but could be doing with a fresh coat of paint and some maintenance.A bag of rubbish from previous tenant was left in wardrobe in front upstairs bedroom and the windows in this room didn't open properly.Double divan in back upstairs bedroom was broken.Hot tub had no water in it / pool table was broken / cues were broken. Sky doesn't work. Batteries flat in remote controls.Table in living area was very wobbly / cracked floor tiles in living area.It wouldn't take much to get this property up to scratch. All bathrooms are lovely and showers are really good and powerful and water always hot.Storage is excellent and outside area very nice.We enjoyed our stay and worked around the issues mentioned above.

    When we arrived early evening the house looked very welcoming, lamps had been left on to great us. The gift from the local bakery was also warmly received. The house has a lived in feel, and as other reviewers have said it really is in need of some TLC, especially the electrical fixtures. Some heaters weren’t working, the main upstairs lounge was one of them so mid November this was not ideal, really glad the weather was mild. It’s only a short 10 min walk down hill to the harbour, where you can grab a bite to eat or a light refreshment before your climb back up. We had a pleasant lunch in one of the local hotels and staff were very obliging and tentative to our group. All in all we had a good few days away at 8 Military Drive Could it have been better? Maybe just slightly, I certainly will be looking out for the upgrades before booking it again.
