We had a 2022 winter stay here and, in spite of some challengingly cold weather, it felt most comfortable, safe and secure. The site is sheltered and so felt great in the winter weather. The views are stunning and the immediate surroundings pretty. The site is well set out, clean and tidy. Transport links are good - the A76 is just outside the farm (traffic noise is low as the site is at a distance and different level from the road) making trips to Dumfries and other parts of Dumfries and Galloway (also Ayrshire) easy. Carlisle is also within easy reach and great for visits for shopping, eating out and interesting historical sites.There is also a good bus service (246) to Dumfries (and north into Ayrshire), very reliable. Sanqhuar - a 5-10 minute walk away - also has a train station. The town has good grocery shopping and some nice eating places. Walking is fantastic - from gentle and lovely low-level river walks or climbs up into the Southern Upland Way (easily accessible from within Sanqhuar). The castle is majestic on the skyline with a most interesting history - hopefully one day Historic Scotland may buy it, take care of it and make more of it. Frances is a wonderful host - friendly, kind and informative - readily available when help is needed but leaving you in peace otherwise. Very highly recommended for short or longer stays.
