The Machars is a quiet peninsula, full of small villages to visit, sandy beaches at Monreith and Garlieston, and is packed with history, some associations with famous people, and great Georgian architecture in the main towns and villages 👏

Enjoy coastal walks, round a rugged coastline of cliffs where you can spot seabirds, and quaint harbours at the Isle of Whithorn, Garlieston and Port William 😍

From the guest book, ' This was a totally unexpected find. So welcoming in every aspect. We arrived by train to Dumfries and then part public transport and part biking to Whithorn. Once there the traffic was almost nil. We were able to cycle and explore everywhere . The peopleless tree lined beaches were a heaven.The little town had everything we needed. It was like going back 50 years in time. Let's hope it remains undiscovered as long as possible.' What a lovely comment in our first weeks of opening. Thank you.
