“The Yurt is such a unique and amazing experience. The stargazing is spectacular and the yurt is perfectly loocated on the property to be private and still have all the amenities that you possibly need close by.”
“This was by far the best place I've stayed, we were in absolute awe with the beauty, attention to detail and hard work these guys put into the place”
“By far the best Airbnb experience my wife and I have ever had. Entirely amazing couple of days spent at the yurt, and we'll be back again.”
CABIN UNDER THE STARS
Completed in 2023, our off-grid log cabin is the perfect spot to enjoy total rest and tranquility, contemplating the constantly changing sky & views of the Galloway Hills from the deck or the wood fired hot tub right outside the door, or venturing straight into the forest. Surrounded by nature, owls, buzzards and red kites fly above, deer can be spotted in the forest, badgers by night & even the odd otter on the riverbank.
THE CABIN
The cabin is constructed from locally grown Galloway Forest timber and is light and airy with plenty of windows to enjoy the views, even when the Scottish weather doesn’t play ball.
