Local Activities and What's On in Dumfries and Galloway
Explore Portpatrick's cliff-top walks to ruined castles, lonely bays with only the gulls for company, and sandy beaches lapped by the relatively warm waters of the Gulf Stream.
Palm trees grow in the balmy air, and the subtropical Logan Botanic Gardens are only a short drive away.
The North West Castle Hotel in Stranraer, a sister hotel, offers free use of the leisure facilities, including indoor pool, sauna, spa bath and curling in the winter months.
Or simply stay and enjoy the peaceful harbour village life of Portpatrick.
