About this property
Surrounded by the rolling Galloway Hills, this beautifully converted byre situated on the Machars Peninsula warmed by the Gulf Stream.. Located in peaceful countryside and surrounded by the rolling Galloway Hills, these two adjoining byre holiday conversions provide an ideal base from which to explore this quiet Machars Peninsula with its rugged coastline and sandy beaches. Beautifully converted and furnished, they are set on an organic sheep and beef farm accessed by a well-maintained farm road and provide an ideal place to relax and unwind.

They also buy in sheep and goats milk to produce a range of Cairnsmore and Millairies cheese which are available to try in the farmshop. Home to some of the most beautiful and exotic gardens, the area benefits from a temperate climate due to the gulf stream, and is a paradise for nature lovers and birdwatchers. With the beautiful Galloway Forest Park and seven stanes close by, this is a popular area for walkers and cyclists of all abilities.

Very peaceful cottage and the owners made us feel very welcome as well as some milk and cake on arrival.Lots to see in the local area but not particularly geared towards tourism.The cottages amenities were a little tired but everything we needed was there.Plenty of walks and space to roam, but there is no enclosed space for children/pets which could be a downside.Cleanliness could have been improved (linens and bathroom) but this did not detract from the overall stay.
