Bluehill Farmhouse (Auchencairn)

Overview

Set in 64 hectares and surrounded by the picturesque scenery of nearby Auchencairn Bay and the hills of Bengairn and Screel to the rear, this traditional stone farmhouse offers a warm welcome and a fantastic stay in this beautiful corner of Scotland. Each of the three well-appointed and spacious bedrooms enjoy pretty countryside views and are beautifully furnished, include a TV, alarm clock radio, hairdryer and tea or coffee facilities and have either modern en suite facilities or a private bathroom. The largest room has twin zip and link beds which form a comfortable super king-size double.

A delicious Galloway breakfast is served each morning in the quiet and intimate dining room. Fill up a full Scottish breakfast with all the trimmings or one of the tasty lighter options. If you are heading out early an earlier breakfast can be served at a time to suit you.
