Isle of Whithorn is a lovely village to spend a peaceful holiday with its picture postcard scenery and a small selection of amenities to make the most of. Whithorn itself is nearby, offering a wider range of shops and restaurants. Further afield sits the Galloway Forest Park for you nature lovers, boasting great walking, cycling and scenery to take advantage of. The Moorings is a lovely apartment in a beautiful little village.
Known as the Isle of Whithorn, this village is actually not an island, but a small village on the Scottish coast in Dumfries and Galloway. Amenities in the village include two pubs/hotels, a Post Office/general store, and a harbour. There is so much history in this area, from iron age forts to 11th century churches, and standing stones to castles built by Robert The Bruce. The 'book town' of Scotland, Wigtown, is a few miles away from the village, and the rest of lovely Dumfries and Galloway is on the doorstep.

We highly recommend this property. What a view out of the kitchen/lounge window - directly out to sea! This was our main reason for booking the property, but we also weren't disappointed with the apartment itself! Stylish, modern, clean and well equipped. Perfect - helpful and friendly owner too!! Immediately next door to a pub which was a nice bonus. The area has outstanding scenery with breathtaking views out to sea, our 2 dogs fell in love with this place and 'adopted' one of the nearby little beaches. The locals are so friendly, especially if you have dogs, they loved them! All in all, a perfect stay in stunning surroundings. There are also many other areas locally to visit, we just didn't have the time to see them all. Thankyou very much Jannine, we're already missing it and will definitely return!!
