Liked: We hebben een fantastische tijd gehad bij Sally en Paul! Wat een geweldige plek om te verblijven. We genoten van de schaapjes, alpaca’s en paarden om ons heen. Het was heerlijk rustig en genoten van de wandeling net buiten de camping. Sally en Paul laten je meteen welkom voelen en we hopen zeker in de toekomst terug te komen!

Liked: Nice location & facilities! Friendly owners. Loved the farm animals!
Disliked: Farm animals had been in the camping field so was quite a bit of excrement.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Due to not having any bookings for camping for a couple of weeks we moved our sheep in the field to graze. Your booking came in so we moved the sheep out, unfortunately we did not have time to sweep the field, normally the rain will wash any evidence into the soil.
Exactly what we needed. Will be back.

Liked: Everything - cannot recommend this place highly enough. From the lovely warm welcome from Sally & Paul, the beautiful surroundings and the lovely animals. The amenities really surprised me, such a lot of thought has gone into these. Very clean and all the added touches, like hand soap and hand towels, was such an unexpected delight. If you are looking to just switch off and relax, this is the place to go. We will most certainly be back. Sally & Paul, thanks for everything, we will see you again soon.
Disliked: The midgies - but that cant be helped - it's Scotland!!!

Liked: The stay was absolutely brilliant. Lovely and friendly wildlife (alpacas, goats, horses), beautiful scenery and the Galloways are only a quick drive away. The toilet block was clean and had warm water. Lots of eco friendly and well thought through touches to make your stay more comfortable. Sally and Paul were a delight and made a lovely haven for campers. Excellent MBT near by and gorgeous view from Bruce’s stone

Liked: Such a great site in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by amazing animals with great facilities. Literally everything you need is catered for. What makes this site so special is the owners! I’ve never been to a site with such nice, warm and friendly hosts. Literally nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much for making us so welcome!

Liked: I thoroughly enjoyed everything about our over night stay, by far the most wonderful guests I have came across! The land and views were spectacular! All animals at the farm were very friendly with ourselves and the children and the bond between guests and the animals was beautiful to witness. We used the pitch area but after being shown the forest getaway, we will be booking that in the future. Look forward to the next visit it was an absolute pleasure!
Disliked: Not one thing to dislike

From the manager: Thank you for your review, you provided your own accommodation. Our farm in the middle of nowhere doesn’t suit everyone, just for reference the local pub in the village will be opening soon which will provide food & drink.
Lovely 1 night stay, all clean and tidy lovely owners

Liked: Loved every second of our trip, sitting tonight wishing we could’ve stayed longer. Sally and Paul couldn’t have been any more friendly or helpful, nothing was any bother to either of them. They made us feel so welcome to be there and explore round the different animals and the whole site. The site itself is on a slight hill, this only adds to the fantastic scenery, especially at night with the beautiful sunset and a clear view of the stars. Toilet block with shower and washing facilities was immaculate, we were really impressed with the shower. There is a small shop on site, stocked with all the essentials, especially the ice poles that our daughter loved. Will definitely be back
