Welcome to our charming characterful property which was originally converted into a holiday let in the 1990's from a 200 year old cow byre, but following our purchase, has been completely refurbished, transformed and completed to a high standard in January 2024! Borrowmoss Bothy is a great place to relax, with its cosy layout and wood burning stove for rainy days (with a complimentary basket of logs and kindling to get you going) to its enclosed peaceful garden with space and seating and horseshoe fire pit to wind down, relax and enjoy watching the sunsets. Outdoor enthusiasts will love this cosy property, surrounded by beautiful scenery and a nature reserve on the doorstep. Situated on our small farm, we have horses, chickens, ducks, a couple of goats, dogs and 2 cats, all or any of which you are welcome to meet if you wish! Situated just less than a mile outside Wigtown, its close enough to walk into the village along a single track road / cycle route or drive there in a few minutes. Wigtown, Scotland's Book Town, is situated on the Machars peninsula in South West Scotland and in an ideal position for exploring the area's beauty and history, with lots of family-friendly interest and activities close at hand. Wigtown is a small country town with an impressive Town Hall and as the title suggests it is the home of many book shops! Along with these is a good CoOp and Farm Shop for supplies, a cash machine, several nice gift shops to browse, along with a choice of local cafes, bar, Community owned pub/restaurant and Fish & Chip shop. Every Saturday between April and October a Farmers and Craft Market is held in the town square. Newton Stewart, at only 6 miles away, provides a selection of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, super-markets, cinema and gym. Please see our website borrowmossbothy com for full property details and T&C's. 😊 PLEASE NOTE WE DO NOT ACCEPT SHOOTERS/HUNTERS AT THIS PROPERTY.
