West Barmoffity Farm B&B

A Scottish rewilding experience, just past Gretna Green

Your hosts spent their first two years at West Barmoffity B&B in a caravan. The work they put in – digging lakes, designing and then building the farmhouse B&B – has created a fantastic home for themselves and their sheep and cattle but also a great destination for wildlife – and now for you.

There are just two guest bedrooms here, a kingsized double and a twin. Both are ensuite, simply furnished as befits a working farm but fabulously comfortable. From every window there are far-reaching rural views and it’s a wonderfully quiet and relaxing place.

You’re not confined to your room here, and are free to use the huge sitting room, complete with log-burning stove, that gives directly out onto a large patio area and an even larger garden, with raised vegetable beds and a summer house. You’re also welcome to explore life on the farm, with the cycle of sheep and cattle co-existing with fantastic birdlife on the farm’s own lake.

Location

Just over the border and the (in)famous Gretna Green, West Barmoffity Farm is perfectly placed to explore a beautiful part of Scotland. Dumfries and Galloway has 200 miles of coastline, with great beaches, and there are castles at Threave, Caerlaverock and Drumlanrig. There's art at the McGill Duncan Gallery in Castle Douglas and Kircudbright is forging a reputation as an artist's town. There are walks from your door, with the farm's own pond attracting mallard, teal, canada geese, grey lag geese, oyster catchers, lapwings and mute swans.
