Barwhillanty Estate - Blairinnie

Barwhillanty Estate – Blairinnie suits groups and larger families after genuine seclusion. The 19th-century farmhouse occupies a working estate of 5000 acres in the Galloway Hills, where you'll find over 18 miles of marked walking routes across the land itself. Route maps come with the property. One pet stays free, and you have the whole place to yourselves: five bedrooms (four with zip-and-link beds that split into singles), three bathrooms, and enough living space to spread out without treading on each other.

The ground floor holds two sitting rooms with woodburners and entertainment systems, a kitchen equipped for proper cooking, and a utility room with washer and tumble dryer. Upstairs are the bedrooms, all with en-suite or separate facilities. Essentials like electricity, bed linen and towels are included, plus WiFi and car parking on the grounds. The estate itself has trout fishing available on request, and the surrounding region is thick with outdoor pursuits – cycling through the famous 7Stanes trails, golf courses, horse riding, sailing – alongside cultural draws in Kirkcudbright and year-round events. Castle Douglas, the nearby food town, lies 7 miles away; a beach is 10 miles off. Smaller amenities sit 2 miles distant.
