Grobdale Arvostelua 

Myself and my daughter have just come back from our stay in the Croft cottage at Grobdale and all I can say is ‘WOW’ the photographs do not fully show how stunning this accommodation is! It very much felt like home as it had everything you need for your time away with a beautiful added bonus of a welcome basket. The surrounding area is stunning and the Hunter family are wonderful hosts. If I could give this stay more than 5 stars I would! Can not recommend this place enough.

My partner and I had a lovely week at Grobdale at the end of July, we stayed in the Croft which was ideal for the two of us being spacious and comfortable with everything you need to hand. There was a very nice welcome hamper waiting for us along with a very warm welcome.
The driveway is a mile long but you never fail to see something different as you head for the road. We saw Deer, Black Grouse, Kite’s flying overhead and of course some very happy farm animals! It’s a farm track which is well maintained and was fine for our low slung car!
Grobdale is “away from it all” (which is what we were looking for) providing a fantastic place to escape to and recharge the batteries! Having said that, local amenities are easily accessible.
Thank you Andy, Sarah and Lauren for sharing your fabulous location and for being brilliant hosts.
We are both looking forward to returning very soon.

This was our 3rd time booking all 3 cottages in Grobdale for a family holiday. Tranquil surroundings, very clean cottages, with Sarah being the most generous host that goes all out to ensure guests' (including dogs) needs are always met. Fantastic base for exploring the many coastal regions, and eateries that are close or a short drive away. As always, we didn't want to leave.

A return visit which did not disappoint. We love it here! Sarah and Lauren made us feel very much part of the family. Our 8year old loves helping out with the pigs, horses, ducks and sheep. The Dairy is stunning with plenty room for a family of four plus a four legged friend. Mabel our labradoodle was made to feel very much part of things. Walks in the field were blissful and good for the soul. Plenty of nearby places to visit for all the family. Lovely restaurants and cafes in the area to keep their bellies full. Another glorious week at Grobdale! We all love it and get so much from our stay. Thanks Sarah, Andy, Lauren and Jim for allowing us to experience a little bit of your heaven x

We had a lovely stay at Grobdale, the cottage we stayed in was The Byre, Sarah was a wonderful host making us very welcome from the outset. . Everything we could want was in the cottage , which is very dog friendly. It was very clean and Sarah was always on hand if we were to have any problems and advice on where to visit.
Anyone booking the cottage has to be aware that it is on a farm and is about three miles away from Gatehouse of Fleet, which is a lovely village and near enough to the A75 which allows travel to nearby towns and villages.
There is a long a long bumpy drive to the farmhouse but once we had training from Sarah on how to move the cows on that wasn't a problem.
As a plus we got a Tesco grocery delivery on our a arrival day which was definitely worth the delivery charge.
We would recommend Grobdale to anyone wanting a friendly peaceful place to stay with terrific views.

Fabulous accommodation in a perfect setting with friendly and helpful hosts who never intruded. The surrounding area offers interesting towns and villages, forest and beautiful coastline. We will definitely return.

This is our second time at Grobdale and what an amazing holiday it was. The dairy is amazing very well equipped with every thing we need and the beds are so comfy and with the Morden touches . Location could not ask for a better place just the birds and the bees is so peaceful and relaxing can’t wait to come back next year.the fire pit out side is amazing we used it every night . Sara and Andy Lauren are the best host ever always Do what they can to help and got to go horse riding with then again . Thank you so much guys was the best holiday .

Stunning location, fantastic accommodation and lovely hosts in Sarah, Andy and Lauren. We have just returned from our third visit and have already booked a fourth for the winter. It is the most incredibly relaxing place to be yet there is much to do and see within easy travelling distance.

We liked it so much here that we booked a second visit and are contemplating a third. Grobdale is found at the end of a stony track about a mile from the single track moorland road and six miles or so from the nearest small town where there are cafés, a small supermarket, tourist information and beautiful woodland walks.
The location is incredibly peaceful- no aircraft or traffic noise - and the views are of the surrounding farm, including horses, sheep, pigs, and the beautiful hills beyond. The enormous Galloway Forest Park is close by where there are excellent visitor centres and activities suitable for all abilities. For walkers there are innumerable walks only a short drive away, hill, coastal and countryside. Wildlife enthusiasts will find plenty to enthrall. There are several small towns within reach with old fashioned high streets and many historic properties and gardens to visit. Being on the farm is entertaining enough with red kites frequently overhead and starry skies on clear nights.
The accommodation is cosy and comfortable and the hosts extremely welcoming but never intrusive. Your mobile is unlikely to get a signal but you are here to get away from it all and the properties have WiFi.
This is such a relaxing place to stay, it's difficult to leave.

We were staying in the Byre which is beautifully built and very well equipped. Comfy beds and great showers. Sarah is a fabulous host - friendly and available if there are any problems (which there wasn't). The cottages are on a working farm about a mile from the road but definitely worth the drive for the peace and the amazing views across the Galloway hills. Would go back when we have a chance!

Everything was 1st class.
We stayed in the Croft which is the smallest of the cottages but perfectly design for two people (and 2 large dogs). The renovation is amazing and so well thought out, rooms were all spacious, everything was super clean, the welcome pack extremely thoughtful (I even received a birthday gift and card - thank you). Sarah could not have been more helpful. I cold not recommend these holiday cottages enough. We had a wonderful holiday and will definitely be back

Stunning accommodation, hospitality and views. This place really is a hidden gem and I can't say just how therapeutic a stay there is.

We will definitely be back, and didn't want to leave.
This place is perfect in every way, you won't be disappointed.

Firstly do not rely completely on your Sat Nav, use the instructions on the email! After a bit of a detour (we took the wrong road and ended up heading down the forest road) we arrived at Our accommodation. We stayed for 3 nights during the Easter break in The Byer and could not fault anything about it. Our cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything you could need for your stay. From the log burner indoors to the fire pit outdoors everything was fantastic. Our kid’s especially liked the farm location and the Easter eggs they had laid on their bed on arrival was very well received.
If you like peace and quite then this place is for you. The nearby towns and attractions of Dumfries and Galloway are within a 30 minute drive. We explored the surrounding lochs & mountains which were beautiful.
Overall a great short stay with lovely hosts. Would definitely recommend it.

We stayed at Grobdale in The Byre at the beginning of April and we had a wonderful week. Sarah, Andy, Lauren & Jim (the farm collie) made us feel very welcome from day one. Sarah went over and above to ensure we enjoyed our stay and sample the farm experience which was great fun. The cottage was lovely and finished to a very high standard, everything was immaculate, very comfortable bed, fully equipped kitchen, large open lounge area with super comfy leather couch. Some fantastic walks with spectacular scenery locally, forest walks we’re our Boxer dog Bertie’s favourite. We found lovely cake/cafe in the Gatehouse of Fleet ‘The Scone Shop’ delicious 😋
We’ll be returning again next year 😀

This was our 2nd stay at Grobdale (The Croft) and we have already booked for another stay in the summer, our cottage had every thing and more, the view is idyllic from our cottage. shops are a wee drive away if you needed and a good way to see more of the scenery.
Andrew and Sarah could not be more welcoming.

We stayed in dairy it's beautiful and spacious, it's so peaceful and nothing is too much trouble for the hosts they are extremely welcoming and passionate about customers having a great time, they are on hand before and during your stay to help you make the most out of your stay should you need them, log burner is easy to use plenty of fire wood, perfect for winter. kitchen has lots of untensils, beds are so comfy and can recommend home grown sausage from on site shop very yummy, and added bonus on clear night the stars look absolutely amazing, we will be rebooking to go back again

We had a lovely weeks holiday. The accommodation was beautiful and had everything we needed.
Relaxing, warm, comfortable, couldn't ask for more. We hope to be back again as there is so much to see in the area. Thank you Sarah and Andrew for a great stay x

We had an amazing holiday, relaxing, remote and cosy. Nothing was too much trouble, the hosts were welcoming and lovely. We didn't want to leave and have already booked to go back. Lovely local walks, great places to eat, a real gem.

We had a great week in a very well appointed and most comfortable cottage in a lovely, peaceful setting. Everything about the accommodation was faultless. Our host was very helpful and the surrounding countryside provided us with lots of walking and visiting experiences. I would highly recommend this destination.

We stayed at Grobdale for a week at the end of August. Absolutely fantastic experience; the cottage was immaculate with all home comforts, amenities and throughtful touches. Sarah was super helpful before and during the trip, and we really enjoyed meeting the animals on the farm. She advised us on booking trips to a local Whisky Distillery, Barstobrick Riding Stables and Galloway Alpacas. We tried a couple of the local woodland walks, and visited pristine almost empty beaches.
Highly recomend Grobdale for a holiday away from it all. The peace and quiet in the Dark Stars Galloway Park made it a relaxing evening every night and the best sleep in those super comfy beds. I can't wait to return!
