Grobdale Arvostelua 

The Dairy cottage, where we stayed for a week in June, was clean, comfortable, well equipped and situated on a remote hill farm in the midst of amazingly beautiful and wild countryside. Cuckoos and red kites awoke us in the morning and we used the garden seating and BBQ, which commanded amazing views of the surrounding hills, every day. Andy and Sarah and their daughter were wonderful hosts. They could not have been more friendly, welcoming and helpful. The consistently warm, sunny weather played in our favour, but even if it had been overcast and rainy, we would still have enjoyed a wonderful holiday at this unique gem of a spot in the heart of unspoilt Galloway

Stunning location and surrounding area, quiet and very relaxing, just the sound of nature and birdsong.
This is our first visit to Grobdale, we stayed at The Croft it was just fabulous, contemporary, modern and well equipped and spotless, the bed was amazing!!
Our favourite spot in the Croft was the large viewing window overlooking the farm and landscape, just sitting and watching the wildlife and relaxing.
We had a great welcome from Sarah, Andy and Lauren nothing is too much trouble they are just brilliant!
Love the welcome pack waiting for us in the Croft and the on-site farm produce is absolutely delicious, really recommend this.
We also had the opportunity to take part in helping gather the sheep for their medication and observing the process with Sarah, Andy & Lauren, absolutely amazing day!!
We just can not recommend this holiday accommodation enough.
This was just an amazing experience from start to the end of our holiday, the weather was gorgeous!!
Thank you so much, we will definitely return.

Just brilliant!. 2nd visit for us and won’t be the last.

Great location, great folk.

Thanks again,

Seb

Great holiday. Both my husband and our two dogs had a 👍 time

Very elegant, beautiful and clean new cottage. It has 2 rooms with queen size beds, 2 full bathrooms. Nice living room are, fridge and everything else you need to cook at home. Very quiet excellent views from the window.
Road leading to the cottage is rural but good quality. I highly recommend for few days stay to reunite with nature and enjoy beautiful views of Scotland.

The Croft at Grobdale of Girthon is the most delightful, comfortable, cosy and well equipped cottage. Our hosts gave us a lovely welcome and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed to make the most of our stay including a lovely Welcome hamper, making suggestions about local places to visit and providing detailed information about local amenities and walks. Being in the midst of a small farm was an extra bonus with lambs to cuddle, horses and piglets to watch, fresh eggs from the chickens and ducks and delicious sausages and bacon from their own reared animals. The surrounding countryside is ideal for those who wish to walk with lots of well marked footpaths and local opportunities to view Red Kites in their natural habit and up close at nearby feeding stations. The couple of rainy days did not spoil our stay and knowing there was a cosy wood burner in the Croft to return to as well as a towel to dry off our wet dog made a wet day walking a pleasure. We look forward to returning to recharge our batteries in the near future

A terrific retreat in a wonderful location, the accommodation is of the highest standards.

We spent a wonderful and relaxing few nights at Grobdale of Girthon. The Croft was warm and extremely comfortable, with a well equipped kitchen - perfect for preparing the delicious local foods.

The welcome basket was a lovely touch and included the eggs of the hens we could see.

The large window seat was perfect for viewing the Red Kites with the supplied field glasses.

Sarah, Andrew and Lauren were welcoming and perfect hosts and we are planning to return.

Having just spent a relaxing week at The Croft cottage we cannot recommend Grobdale highly enough. The owners Sarah, Andy and Lauren gave us a very warm welcome and the accommodation is immaculate and extremely well equipped. The large picture window gives a panoramic view of the stunning scenery and the log burner makes the cottage so cosy. Sarah is always on hand to ensure that guests have everything they need for a memorable holiday and her attention to detail even included fresh flowers and a lovely Welcome Hamper. We have no hesitation in recommending Grobdale and can assure anyone deciding to book a break that they won’t be disappointed.

What a wonderful place Grobdale is. From the moment you drive onto the track you feel you are miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
We stayed in The Dairy and it’s beautifully decorated throughout. All the comforts needed to relax with an outstanding bed. One of the comfiest we have ever slept in. Great welcome pack complete with treats for Syd our dog.
Outside was lovely to be able to see the animals from the farm and space for Syd to run around.
Sarah, Andy and Lauren made you very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Andy was an absolute star when we had trouble with our car!
The stars at night are phenomenal lovely seating area to sit back and gaze upwards.
We will definitely be re booking!

We stayed here for the weekend arrived Friday and came home Sunday.
Wish we stayed longer .
Absolutely fabulous, such an amazing experience from start to finish.
Sarah and Andy we’re just fantastic in every way they really went out of their way for us and we’re so helpful with everything , making sure we were always ok and happy.
They made my dream come true which was to cuddle a sheep and I managed to do that several times . Thank you so much for such a lovely wonderful stay , see you both soon 1000%

Lovely cottage, beautifully decorated and well equipped with everything you need for a holiday. Great location too, so quiet and peaceful and a great place to see stars on a clear night. Sarah was so welcoming and had plenty of good tips on where to go in the area.
The generous welcome pack was greatly appreciated (by the dog too). A lot of work has gone into getting all the little details right here. Will hopefully return again in the future.

Always a treat staying at Grobdale. This is our third stay and we love the peace and quiet on the farm. We also love walking on the beaches nearby (Carrick is my favourite) and Sunday carvery at The Masonic in Gatehouse.

The Croft is a wonderful one bedroom self catering, single storey recently constructed building. Beautifully furnished and has a super window seat. A great place for people with limited mobility.
The area is in the Dark Skies forest region and the stars at night are so bright, and there are plenty of places to visit and walk.
Sarah could not have been more helpful and the pork grown on the farm is made into sausages, bacon and joints are highly recommended. Thanks for a lovely stay , we will be back!!

Thanks Sarah , Lauren & Andy for a magical stay at Grobdale farm. Our cottage The Byre was amazing so clean and beautifully decorated. Sarah is the perfect hostess who manages to ensure all your needs are met while still maintaining your privacy. My 9 yr old granddaughter was included in the farm, feeding the pigs & horses every day .. oh and My daughter and I got involved in a bit of sheep wrangling, best laugh we’ve had for a long time. The views over the property are amazing and the stars at night enchanting. So quiet and peaceful .. ..This is my family’s 3rd visit to Grobdale, my first .. we will be back .. thx from Grani Ani xxx

Another most enjoyable week at Grobdale of Girthon. The Byre is very comfortable and well appointed. Sarah is a friendly and helpful host. The surrounding countryside and walks are great. We highly recommend Grobdale of Girthon.

Superb place. Host Sarah was so welcoming and helpful. The location is stunning - the surrounding area, and the farm itself with sheep, pigs and horses and super views. The property was spotless, very well equipped and very nicely decorated with quality fittings. Welcome pack appreciated, and local guide info great. Recommend and will look to return as there is still so much more to see and do nearby.

If you love the natural beauty of Scotland, you will be as overjoyed with Grobdale of Girthon as we were. The Dairy was a fabulous stylish, tasteful and comfortable conversion of an agricultural building, the hosts have thought of everything. They are on hand to welcome you and give excellent advice and guidance about things to do. Their passion for the area is infectious, we loved everything about our stay. The guest information file is very informative, well put together and clearly presented. We enjoyed excellent weather, exploring the area, played golf and spent time on the outside patio, which is very well furnished, with fire pit and BBQ. The farm animals are delightful and we brought home some of their honey and hand reared pork from the Tamworth pigs. We can't wait to return. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality.

On arrival we were greeted by the owners who gave us a quick tour of our accommodation and left us to it. We had everything you would need with beautiful views all round. Getting around was simple enough with plenty of knowledge of the surrounding area available. We ran out of a few food supplies and the on-site farm shop provided high quality produce, all reared in the local farming community well worth paying that little extra. The information pack also helped us out of a few tight spots (car trouble) where we found reliable trades man at a reasonable price.

Walks around the local area and neighbouring villages/towns/beaches gave us plenty to do during the day and at night we had both outdoor and indoor fire options creating a calm relaxing even dare I say romantic environment. Loved every second here and plan to return soon.

We wanted a place that was quiet and restful, Grobdale was all that and more. Sarah and Andrew along with their daughter were the perfect hosts, nothing was too much for them. Getting on in age we found the wooden seats in the kitchen area were rather hard but apart from that we could not fault anything, we would have no difficulty in recommending Grobdale to all of our friends and we wish Sarah and Andrew success in all they do.
