The ground floor of this superb cottage has a delightful sitting room with a woodburning stove, ideal for those cooler evenings. The dining kitchen opens into a charming patio at the side, where you can enjoy your coffee as you plan the day ahead.

Follow in the footsteps of a king on The Robert the Bruce Trail, or delve deeper back in time to discover more about Scotland’s oldest Christian community, dating from 500AD. The tranquil fishing village of the Isle of Whithorn is a short drive down to the coast, while Wigtown is host to a Book Festival each autumn, as well as being Scotland’s Book Town. With the rugged coastline and sandy beaches, as well as the majesty of the Galloway Hills Forest Park, nearby, there is something for everyone at this lovely cottage in Whithorn, whatever the weather.

The Machars peninsula is home to the town of Whithorn, renowned for having the first recorded Christian Church in Scotland. The town also has an archaeological site and a medieval priory and is an area rich in history.
