My daughter loved meeting the chickens and exploring the woods nearby. Looked like a lot of bluebells about to come up, which must make it extra beautiful!

Set in the peaceful grounds of an organic farm in Dumfries and Galloway, this newly refurbished and decorated cottage is surrounded by beautiful countryside and spectacular views. The cottage has 1.5 bedrooms and would be ideal for a couple or a family of 3 or 4. The maximum number of adults we can accommodate is 3 as there is one double and one single bed. If you are a family with 2/3 children we can either put in a second single mattress or there is a sofa bed. We would ask that the maximum number of cars for your group is limited to 2 maximum as we do not have room for lots of cars to park. We breed Shetland sheep and rare breed chickens, and grow our own produce. Home made bread, jams and eggs (seasonal) are available from the farm. The cottage is a few miles from Ae forest, Loch Ettrick, Drumlanrig and many other walks. thank you
hello, I'm British and live and work on an organic farm in SW Scotland. We have Shetland sheep, rare breed hens, a vegetable garden and polytunnel. We sell eggs and some of other produce from the farm to other local families. John and I are interested in sustainable living and working with wildlife and nature. We are used to having guests from all over the world on the farm and sharing space respectfully Thank you
peaceful countryside perfect for general relaxing. local pursuits include walks, cycling, wild swimming and star gazing.
