A rare treasure, the Old Church Portpatrick blends the comforts of modern living with a unique, local heritage.
Once a Victorian Free Church at the hub of the village, it is now an impressive home for groups of 10-13 people. Behind its iconic façade lie stylish interiors, finished with beautiful original features and an array of sophisticated furnishings. Expect chic, en-suite bedrooms and massive social spaces, scattered with handpicked antiques and gothic touches.
On the first floor landing you will find a vast open space with high, vaulted ceilings and restored Cruck A-frames. A rose stained glass window is complimented by crisp white walls and honey-coloured floorboards.
The home sleeps 10 – perfect for a family getaway – and there’s a professional kitchen and a large, feasting table, along with a double-sided wood burner and vintage pool table.
Downstairs, you’ll find five plush double bedrooms finished with sumptuous king-size beds and deluxe en-suite bathrooms. There’s underfloor heating to keep you cosy and warm, along with designer bedding and thick, fluffy towels.
While there, discover the Portpatrick village and the Dumfries and Galloway shores. Stroll along the sea-front promenade and or out along the cliffs, stopping off at the sweeping sands of Lairds and Sandeel Bay. The mysterious Dunskey Castle is also well worth a visit, and can be followed by rugged, country walks and a day on the golf course. For a more relaxed escape, treat yourself to lunch at the harbour-front, where you’ll find a handful of local pubs and traditional restaurants.
