Butterhole Farmhouse

Butterhole Farmhouse comes fully equipped for a week away. The kitchen has an electric oven and hob, microwave, and full-size fridge and freezer. Heating is oil central, electricity and Wi-Fi are included, and initial logs for the woodburner are provided. Bed linen and towels come as standard. There is parking for three cars on site and a bike store for anyone planning to explore further afield.

The layout spreads across two floors. Downstairs has a living room and dining room, both with Freeview Smart TVs, plus a study and kitchen. The woodburner sits in the dining room. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms: two kingsize beds and a twin room with single beds. One kingsize has an ensuite shower room; a family bathroom with bath and shower serves the other bedrooms. The property sleeps six and is yours for the duration—no other guests share the space. One dog can stay free of charge, though it must be kept on a lead in this sheep farming country. An enclosed garden with sitting-out area and furniture provides outdoor space; note there is also a shared front lawn.

The farmhouse sits within Mabie Forest, a few miles from Dumfries. Walking trails, the 7stanes mountain biking routes, and Mabie Farm Park—where you can see alpacas, llamas and belted Galloways—are all nearby. No smoking indoors.
