Ninians Landing

Ninians Landing suits couples looking for a quiet coastal break, or anyone travelling with a dog. The apartment occupies the first floor of a harborside building in Isle of Whithorn, a small village in Dumfries and Galloway. Seven steps lead to the entrance; everything else is on one level. Inside, an open-plan space combines living, dining and kitchen areas with windows facing the water. The bedroom has a king-size bed and the bathroom includes a bath with shower over. The kitchen is equipped for self-catering with an electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge and washing machine. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are included, and there is parking for one car on site.

The setting puts you within walking distance of the harbour itself, where The Steam Packet Inn serves food, and St Ninian's Chapel sits on the headland. Coastal paths offer clifftop walking with sea views. Galloway Forest Park, the UK's first Dark Sky Park, is a short drive inland for more ambitious walks and cycling. Wigtown, Scotland's National Book Town, is also nearby. The property does not permit smoking.
