Bardristane Forge

Bardristane Forge sits at ground level with immediate access to a living room, kitchen-dining space and conservatory, each with its own woodburner for warmth. Upstairs are two bedrooms—one with a double bed, one with two singles—and a bathroom with bath and shower. The layout means you move between rooms without negotiating stairs, though the garden has steps down to it.

What you get on arrival: Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are all sorted, plus fuel for the wood burners. The kitchen has a full oven and hob for proper cooking, and a washing machine if you need it. There's private parking for one car on site and an enclosed garden with patio and seating. The property sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near beaches and at the edge of a Dark Sky Park, within reach of mountain biking centres, castles, gardens and coastal walks. Pets are welcome. No smoking indoors.
