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.

Lovely view at the front and next to a fantastic foodie pub with great beer. Really clean and comfortable. Only drawback was being woken every morning by the building work right behind the flat which was a digger sized pneumatic drill pounding away for a few hours from before eight. We should have been warned!

In a lovely spot with beautiful views. Only downsides were no wifi/phone reception. Would have liked to be told of this issue before we arrived. Did not like all the little drops of liquids/kitchen/toilet Rolls and sprays left from previous occupants for our use!! That's my personal preference.
