Overall a great place to stay, comfortable beds and lots of hot water. Could do with a plug in the basin and a couple of new pans.

Sandpipers is an excellently located and cosy property for sitting and admiring the constantly changing view over Portpatrick and out to sea. On a clear day you can see the Isle of Man and Ireland from the comfort of the sitting room. Also a good base for exploring the beautiful countryside of the Mull of Galloway.

As in our previous visits to this apartment we found it a relaxing comfortable place to spend a holiday. We have visited both in high and low season and have not been disappointed.
