Walkers are well catered for in Portpatrick with spectacular cliff paths in both directions, where you can follow the path past Dunskey Castle to Knockinaam, or past several secluded bays to Killantringan Lighthouse. The walk from the village to Killantringan is the start of the Southern Upland Way.
The village is a hive of activity throughout the year. Events include the rnli Lifeboat Week, the Music Festival, farmer’s markets, craft fayres and vintage truck rallies. Being on the South West Coastal 300, a stunningly beautiful touring route throughout the whole region, Portpatrick is the perfect base for your holiday.

nice property. Obviously a well used property for Stag/Hen doos. In need of a bit of an upgrade but still ideal for our needs. Property was spotless on arrival. Could do with a little more garden furniture for bigger groups. Cant really fault it.

The house was lovely but would have benefited from another shower, preferably walk in. The shower over the bath was hard to access for some and the vent did not work, therefore the bathroom was continually wet due to the steam from the shower. The showerhead was tied with zip ties and hard to position. Most of the outdoor lights did not work. There was only one toilet roll between the three toilets, I realise that we buy our own but one in each toilet would have been helpful until we had time to shop. Overall we enjoyed our stay and I would recommend the holiday let.
