About this property
A superb, semi-detached cottage near the Whithorn Priory, on the Machars Peninsula in Scotlands beautiful Dumfries and Galloway. Fully refurbished and providing stylish, quality accommodation, this self-catering cottage is the ideal spot for friends or families who wish to explore this historic region of Scotland. The cottage has three bedrooms on the first floor accommodating a total of six across two king-size double bedrooms and a small double room. One of the king-size rooms has its own en-suite WC, which is accessed down a couple of steps from the bedroom. 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. Located near the centre of the village of Whithorn, this lovely cottage is a short stroll from the historic 5th century priory and museum, open from March to October and home to a superb collection of carved stones. Follow in the footsteps of a king on The Robert the Bruce Trail, or delve deeper back in time to discover more about Scotlands 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 Scotlands 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.
