West Barmoffity Farm B&B
Kirkpatrick Durham, Castle Douglas, Kirkcudbrightshire, Dumfries & Galloway, DG7 3HL, Scotland, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland
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.

Hosted by Michael & Jennifer Wilson
Your hosts here are Michael and Jennifer Wilson, who bought the farmstead in 2004 and lived on it for two years in a caravan - for six months with no electricity. They have left such privations far behind: Jennifer is a fantastic cook and locally-reared beef and lamb often appear on their dinner menus. Breakfasts are lavish and guests here rave about the five-star service that comes with a personal touch.
