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.

From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the ruggedness of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. Scotland also has some of Britain’s best beaches with glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam.

Another excellent week at the Isle.. As always, the apartment was spotlessly clean and well equipped. The location and the view are absolutely stunning. Always look forward to coming back.

Fantastic accommodation in the beautiful Isle of Whithorn, apartment was perfect for the two of us and the dog with everything we needed including a great pub right next door serving amazing food and great beer from their own brewery.. If you are looking for a holiday with the dog this is perfect with walks straight from the front door or days out in the local countryside and coast. Would love to visit again

This is a compact modern clean and practical apartment which suited the 2 of us and our dog.. We were made to feel very welcome when we arrived and if any information or advice was needed the owner was available. I would recommend the apartment and hope to return however you must be prepared to travel for shopping which suited us as we did it returning after our days out

Having booked a downstairs harbour apartment we could not have had a better view of the harbour.. Whilst this was great at first, it soon became apparent that every dog walker, hiker and passer by could not resist staring through our living room window. As we have a nervous rescue dog this caused him to bark at every person passing. To prevent this we had to close our roller blinds. In late afternoon the roller blinds were no good in direct sunlight.We would recommend an upstairs apartment to any pet owners. If you have a 50 inch plasma tv you will struggle with the small tv in the living area. Isle of Whithorn is a lovely fishing village with a pub and a post office. If you are looking for a quiet, clean self catering apartment the moorings is the place to stay. However, be careful when exiting the rear car park as drivers pass by at excessive speed for the road conditions. A 10 mph limit needs to be set or else an accident is just waiting to happen .
