• "Thank you Jannie for the warm welcome and the guide around the apartment."

  The milk and biscuits were appreciated. Super clean,fresh and modern with everything you basically need, even a few days of washing up liquid and loo rolls. Bed and linen very comfortable and clean. A great location for looking over the harbour, with the best sunset ever! Lovely walk upto the tower to look over the rocks and sea ( we even saw a couple of dolpins) very friendly locals in the pub and local cafe both very good lots to visit and see in the surrounding areas. We have an EV and found plenty of chargers in all the villages and towns. ( tesla chargers at the outlet village in gretna are open to all at a good 49p per minute) The only down side which we knew before hand no wifi and which due to a lack of phone signal would help plan days out and keep intouch with family. ( a bit of a signal in the window by the small tv) and on the bench on the harbour wall. The pub and the cafe have WiFi a part from that all perfect! If you are after a very calm relaxing break with little traffic on the area it's the spot for you! Will be going back another time ( we are off to the isle of Harris and lwis next year) Thank you

• "Just returned after a magnificent stay with our 2 dogs at 'The Moorings'."

  We highly recommend this property. What a view out of the kitchen/lounge window - directly out to sea! This was our main reason for booking the property, but we also weren't disappointed with the apartment itself! Stylish, modern, clean and well equipped. Perfect - helpful and friendly owner too!! Immediately next door to a pub which was a nice bonus. The area has outstanding scenery with breathtaking views out to sea, our 2 dogs fell in love with this place and 'adopted' one of the nearby little beaches. The locals are so friendly, especially if you have dogs, they loved them! All in all, a perfect stay in stunning surroundings. There are also many other areas locally to visit, we just didn't have the time to see them all. Thankyou very much Jannine, we're already missing it and will definitely return!!

• "Super apartment with everything you need and in a great location."

  Lovely view at the front and next to a fantastic foodie pub with great beer. Really clean and comfortable. Only drawback was being woken every morning by the building work right behind the flat which was a digger sized pneumatic drill pounding away for a few hours from before eight. We should have been warned!

  Thank you for your lovely comments. Property Owner

• "Property spotless and well catered for."

  In a lovely spot with beautiful views. Only downsides were no wifi/phone reception. Would have liked to be told of this issue before we arrived. Did not like all the little drops of liquids/kitchen/toilet Rolls and sprays left from previous occupants for our use!! That's my personal preference.

  Located in the harbour of the beautiful and fascinating community that is the Isle. Well and thoughtfully appointed. Everything you, and your pets, need is to hand. The minimal but cosy kitchen/diner has stunning views over the harbour, with spectacular sunsets guaranteed. The owner , Janine. is always availlable to help if needed. The aprtment is next door to the extraordinary Steam Pacvket Inn, where yyou can enjoy cask ales brewed aroung the corner, or superbly cooked meals featuring local produce - especially swafood. A comfortable and relaxing home from home to which we will certainly return!

  The tv needs an upgrade it was frustrating trying to change channels. The filter on the cooker hood was thick with grease. The frying pan handle was dangerously loose, I tightened it with a screwdriver. The village was lovely and I would love to go there again, but not at Nubians Landing !

• "The Moorings at Ninian's Landing on the Isle of Whithorn was the perfect holiday destination for us : the flat's main feature being the stunning view of the little harbour directly across from us, where you can watch the sunrise, sun set - the sea birds, the tide going in and out - people passing by and the boats that are moored there."

  It is pet friendly ( treats were left for our dog, Charlie. ) In fact, for dog lovers, the Isle of Whithorn is a dream. The landscape is rugged, but walkable - the scenery is as beautiful as anything you would see in the Highlands - St. Ninian's Chapel is a magical place, beautifully kept and still a place of pilgrimage to those who wish to leave a stone on the cairn in memory of a loved one. The sea view is stunning. The flat is very sparsely decorated which calls attention to the beautiful view ( what more do you need! ) and the light quality is good because of its locality. Simply furnished, sparkly clean and warm, it was a lovely place to stay and comfortable. This hidden gem of a place is so worth a visit - this area is safe ( we spoke to many locals who took pride in this ) and not far from St Ninian's Cave, and the wonderful Wigtown where my husband and I met the author of the books "Diary of a Bookseller" and "Confessions of a Bookseller" : Shaun Bythell - visited his shop and met some of the local people described in the book! The friendliest town in Scotland.

• "Excellent accommodation and location."

  We felt totally safe regarding covid19 in the accommodation and within the local businesses. When things are this good you don't really want to shout about them, so that you can keep them to yourself. However, anyone going to The Moorings or The Isle Of Whithorn will not be disappointed. It's a very dog friendly area, just don't be one of those owners that don't clean up after them! Things to make it better would be Wifi. The digital phone network is sketchy. EE 3/4g was not available. O2 seems to be the strongest provider. There's Wifi available in the pub next door.

• "Having booked a downstairs harbour apartment we could not have had a better view of the harbour."

  Whilst this was great at first, it soon became apparent that every dog walker, hiker and passer by could not resist staring through our living room window. As we have a nervous rescue dog this caused him to bark at every person passing. To prevent this we had to close our roller blinds. In late afternoon the roller blinds were no good in direct sunlight.We would recommend an upstairs apartment to any pet owners. If you have a 50 inch plasma tv you will struggle with the small tv in the living area. Isle of Whithorn is a lovely fishing village with a pub and a post office. If you are looking for a quiet, clean self catering apartment the moorings is the place to stay. However, be careful when exiting the rear car park as drivers pass by at excessive speed for the road conditions. A 10 mph limit needs to be set or else an accident is just waiting to happen .
