With their eye for detail, the owners have transformed these former farm buildings into a little bit of heaven in the most glorious of surroundings. Grobdale of Girthon is a small farm on the edge of the Galloway Forest Park, where you can enjoy peace and tranquillity yet be easily accessible to all this beautiful corner of south west Scotland has to offer.
The Byre really offers the ultimate in luxury living, from the living room with comfy sofas and cosy wood burners, and a well equipped kitchen, to the sumptuous bedrooms and modern bathrooms. Outside, nestled in the beautiful rolling Galloway Hills, there are 65 acres for you to explore and provide a tranquil escape. Without doubt, a stay at Grobdale of Girthon will want you coming back for more!
Whilst set in a beautiful rural location, Grobdale of Girthon is only 6 miles from the picturesque town of Gatehouse of Fleet, which has a variety of excellent eating places, two very well stocked shops and a pharmacy. There are many attractions in and around the town including the Mill on the Fleet Visitor Centre and Cardoness Castle. There are also delightful beaches within a few minutes drive of the town, including Mossyard and Cardoness.
With mountain biking, fishing, scenic coastal walks and forest trails, golf and water sports close by, there is something for everyone. A visit to Kirkcudbright is a must! Known as ’the artists’ town’, it attracts visitors throughout the year drawn by the harbour, historic high street and the diverse range of annual events and visitor attractions. The popular programme of summer festivities culminates with the spectacular Tattoo, an event not to be missed. Beach 10 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 6 miles.
The properties were awarded ’Best Farmyard Cottage Getaway Dumfries and Galloway for 2023’ by SME news.

We loved our time here with our two labradors. A fully fitted luxury cottage in a great location, it feels quite off grid which suits us, but excellent Wi-Fi. Good short walks on the farm surrounded by nature and lovely pigs and sheep, well placed for exploring Galloway. Run by a friendly and helpful couple.
