About this property

Isle of Whitorn 3.6 miles. Tastefully furnished with both comfort and practicality in mind, Claymoddie is a cosy family house set in attractive and generous grounds. Upstairs there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with an en suite featuring a walk-in shower. There is a handy utility room with an ironing board and tumble dryer. The double bedroom benefits from a balcony with south facing views. In addition, there is a comfy sitting room with an open fire, a dining room with French doors leading to a paved area and the garden. The open plan kitchen is equipped with an Aga and an additional electric oven and hob for convenience. There is a back kitchen utility space with an additional sink and a small cloakroom for coats and boots. The garden is extensive, featuring sloping lawns leading down to a stream, a pond, and shady woodland walks. The climate is influenced by the Gulf Stream enabling many unusual Southern Hemisphere plants to flourish alongside old favourites. The beach is accessible by a farm track and is a twenty five minute walk from the house. For more challenging walking trails and activities, head 20 miles north to the Galloway Hills which provide walking for all levels as well as world class mountain biking. The property has direct access to 20 kilometres of new cycling/walking track that wind their way through the farm and along the coast. The property is situated off a quiet farm track that is used only by two other properties. For more seaside options don't miss out on the nearby spacious sands of Monrieth, Garlieston and Luce Bay beaches. For those looking for culture the Royal Burgh of Whithorn is home to a fine little museum, a recently constructed Iron Age roundhouse and the mediaeval remains of St Ninian's Priory. Wigtown, one of Scotland's book towns and home to a ten-day annual book festival is a twenty minute drive away. The Machars and Rhins of Galloway boast fine gardens and historic sites which include the 75 acre Castle Kennedy Gardens, the Aldouran Wetland, Glenwhan Gardens and Logan Botanic Gardens plus, Marl House is the perfect location in which to spend your holiday break. Don’t miss out on such an idyllic getaway in Scotland by booking Claymoddie now.

Referred to locally as 'The Isle', the Isle of Whithorn is designated an outstanding conservation area. The graceful crescent of shore and neat houses that make up the harbour presents a perfect spectacle in any camera’s viewfinder. Already in existence 1600 years ago, the community was at the very beginning of Scotland’s Christian history when Ninian, Scotland’s first missionary and saint, founded his church at Whithorn. The Isle Church itself, a former Free Kirk, stands prominent in defiance of the highest of tides. The Isle harbour, once the host of cargoes of coal, fertiliser and timber is now busy throughout the year with local boats fishing for crabs and lobsters, as well as catches of scallops brought in by the visiting Manx fleet. However, some of the best goes straight in through the doors of the award-winning Steam Packet Inn on the waterfront! Take a walk along the Harbour and enquire about local sea-angling opportunities. At the end of the Harbour, follow the signs for St Ninian’s Chapel and shortly you’ll come to the Witness Cairn. Just a short distance away stands the 14th century ruin of St Ninian’s Chapel, once a place where pilgrims were welcomed and now in the care of Historic Scotland. It’s an easy climb up the Cairn to the distinctive white tower which has been a mariner’s landmark for close on two centuries. At the top you can behold the majestic expanse of the Solway and the Irish Sea. Across the water lie the great peaks of Cumbria’s Lake District, while due south lies the Isle of Man, its nearest point just 18 miles away. The Isle is a welcoming port for visiting leisure sailors and bowlers too. So please bring your boat and your bowls! At the Isle you will discover a tranquil place that is much more than just a view. Welcome to the Isle!
