THE DAIRY, Castle Douglas

The property offers a hot tub on the decking, a sauna across the road with valley views, and free on-site private parking. Additional facilities include a fully equipped kitchenette with an air fryer and microwave/grill, a bioethanol heater, and a terrace with a BBQ. The accommodation is pet friendly, with a secure field available for dogs and a host who provides local walk recommendations.

The holiday home has one bedroom and a living room with a sofa bed, accommodating up to four guests. The bedroom is upstairs with a fan provided (no window), and the living area includes a dining space and a wall-mounted TV. The bathroom is a good size, and the bedding has been noted by some guests as needing replacement, though others found the bed comfortable.

The Dairy is located on a quiet farm up a private track, offering dark starry skies with no light pollution. It is 10 minutes by car from Castle Douglas, 28 km from Rockcliffe, and 32 km from Dumfries and Galloway Golf Club. Caerlaverock Castle is 45 km away, and Glasgow Prestwick Airport is 78 km from the property.

The property welcomes pets and provides a truly dog-friendly environment, with a secure field on site for exercise. The host's two Bernese mountain dogs roam freely on the farm, so guests with dogs that are not keen on other dogs should be aware. Previous guests noted that the owners' dogs are friendly but large, and one dog may jump up or enter the cottage if doors are open.
