Enjoying a rural location close to the popular fishing village of the Isle of Whithorn, Millwalk Cottage offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the unspoiled beauty of the southern Machars Peninsula. This tranquil and picturesque region, its name meaning “coastal pastures”, is famed for its charming harbour villages, scenic coastal walks, sandy beaches, and abundance of wildlife.
Perfect for those who enjoy the outdoors, the area offers excellent opportunities for sailing, cycling, golfing, birdwatching, or simply relaxing in peaceful surroundings. Rich in history, the Isle of Whithorn is closely associated with St Ninian, Scotland’s first Christian saint, who is believed to have landed here. Nearby, St Ninian’s Cave, nestled along the rugged coastline, is said to have served as his place of prayer and reflection.
Despite its peaceful setting, the Isle of Whithorn is just 3 miles from the cottage and 17 miles from the market town of Newton Stewart, which offers a full range of amenities including shops, supermarkets, a secondary school, cinema, and leisure centre.
Directions
From Newton Stewart follow the signs for Whithorn. At the southern end of Whithorn take the A750 towards Isle of Whithorn and at the junction A747 turn right and after approximately 150 yards turn left at the wheelie bins for Arbrack, Tonderghie and Arrow. Continue along this road for 0.4 miles, turning left at the sign for Wirless Station and Kidsdale Bungalows. Follow this road turning right at the entrance to High Arrow Farm and follow this road to Tonderghie House. At the entrance to Tonderghie House turn right and follow this track through a small area of woodland and over a cattle grid until the track reaches a t-junction. At the t-junction turn right and Millwalk Cottage is approximately 400 yards on the right.
Originally built in 1820 as a Miller’s house, Millwalk Cottage is a traditionally constructed property that has been sympathetically extended in more recent years. The cottage offers a blend of period charm and modern comfort, making it an ideal permanent home or a holiday retreat.
The accommodation comprises two bedrooms and benefits from oil-fired central heating, double glazing, and a Dowling wood-burning stove, which also heats the water. The property has recently operated as a successful holiday let.
Standing in a generous garden plot, the cottage enjoys lovely views over open farmland with glimpses of the distant sea. A detached garage with power and lighting provides additional storage or workshop potential.
Located just 3 miles from the picturesque harbour village of Isle of Whithorn, Millwalk Cottage offers peace and seclusion, yet easy access to the amenities and coastal charm of this sought-after area.
