Tel: +44 (1387) 820258
This fantastic byre conversion is set on a peaceful organic farm near Dumfries surrounded by acres of rolling countryside, and offers an ideal base for touring the region.
Explore the farm and see sheep, cattle, ponies and ducks. Between the months of March and June, guests are also welcome to feed the pet lambs; a particularly exciting prospect for young children. The Byre provides a walking leaflet of superb walking routes round the countryside which vary in length depending on your interests, while cyclists will delight in the close proximity to all of the world-class 7stanes mountain biking centres. For star-gazing, wildlife spotting, forest treks and peaceful strolls, the Galloway Forest Park is around an hour and a half's drive from the Byre and is a must when visiting the area.
