Public transport accessible. The Precinct House situated next door to The Pend (also let through NTS) is a small 18th century town house, refurbished in a period style quite different from its neighbour. The building is typical of the terraced Georgian houses in this burgh, which has been in existence since the 5th century and is quite possibly the oldest town in Scotland. The Precinct House is privately owned and is adjacent to the Whithorn Story Visitor Centre, with its interpretation of one of the earliest Christian sites in Scotland, a stone’s throw away from the back garden. Master bedroom with king-size four poster bed on the first floor, and small single room with compact box bed. On ground floor, a sitting room with period grate, glass roofed dining room, kitchen and shower room. Enclosed courtyard outside with garden furniture and barbecue. Parking available on the front street.

Conveniently situated in the centre of this picturesque village of cobbled streets and fascinating old buildings, St Andrew's House was built in the 17th century and would have been built to house the overflow of the large number of courtiers who travelled with the King and Queen when they stayed at Falkland Palace. Our holiday flat is situated on the first floor, overlooking the beautiful Palace orchard and garden. It is reached through a shared front door up one flight of stairs, which we regret is not suitable for the elderly or infirm. Parking is available beside St Andrew's House. Two twin bedrooms, sitting room, kitchen, dining room and bathroom with bath only
