Boreland Farm

We came here back in August 2022. The accommodation is nicely decorated and plenty of space. Perfect for a quiet retreat on a working farm. Dogs are welcome too. Plenty of nice walks. Shops and places to eat within a close driving distance. Take note though their is more than one Boreland farm in scotland

This is perfect accommodation as a base to explore what Galloway has to offer, which is a lot. The surroundings of Boreland Farm are peaceful and beautiful. The steading which houses the visitor accommodation is spacious and comfortable, perhaps excepting the small galley kitchen which is a bit wee, but the views through the window make up for that. It's a working farm but not a noisy one, though there are comings and goings. Due to its fairly remote location, it may be advisable to pack up all you need before setting out for the day. Roads in the vicinity are rough, so beware, and having a good sense of direction may not necessarily be of much help! But once off the very minor roads, you will find yourself able to access such a wide range of wonderful landscape - hills, rivers, lochs and sea - that the crunchy, narrow, pot-holey, poorly signposted roads are pretty much forgiven. Admittedly, I would not have wanted to negotiate them at night time, but that was fine as there is no need to venture out from this lovely cosy place if you have a stock of provisions. Whilst neat and tidy, it has no pretensions to be swanky, so expect a few cobwebs. A spray of the windows to remove the signs of previous doggy guests looking out would have been nice, and a new toilet seat is needed. A lovely spot, to which I definitely hope to return.
