Grobdale of Girthon - The Croft
Dumfries and Galloway
View on Google MapsPhoto: Grobdale of Girthon
The Croft sits within Grobdale of Girthon, a working farm on the edge of Galloway Forest Park in rolling countryside south west Scotland. It's a converted barn, part of a courtyard of three holiday cottages built in 2020, with its own parking for two cars and direct access to 65 acres of grounds shared with the owner. The setting is genuinely quiet—though Gatehouse of Fleet, with shops, restaurants and attractions like Cardoness Castle, is only six miles away.
Everything happens on the ground floor: an open-plan living space combining sitting room (with Smart TV and wood burner), dining area and kitchen, plus a bedroom with zip-and-link beds and a walk-in shower room. The kitchen has what you need to cook properly—electric oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and microwave. Underfloor heating and electricity are included, along with bed linen, towels and wi-fi. There's a shared laundry room on site if you need it, and a courtyard with garden furniture and a firepit. One dog stays free. No smoking throughout the property.

What guests say
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Grobdale of Girthon, specifically their 4x4/off road camping option! Sarah, Andy & Lauren (and of course Jim! 🐶) are just the nicest, most down to earth family I've ever met. The views surrounding the farm are beautiful but there was something about the farm which just felt like home! Next time, we're definitely looking to book in at one of the cottages, because Sarah was kind enough to show us around an empty one before we headed off - they are absolutely stunning and have everything you need for a restful break. The walking safari was so much fun, the place is teaming with wildlife (including golden eagles!) and of course livestock. We also bought some of the amazing produce that they make which was fairly priced and importantly delicious! My not so great phone took a photo at night - it was quite cloudy but it's a dark-sky area so you're in for some amazing views!

We found this beautiful spot by chance - best decision we made to go to this venue - 5 star accommodation, hospitality and attention to detail. Modern, yet luxurious and very comfortable. Thank you Sarah and Andy for such an amazing place to have our holiday- thank you to for your insights and for being so helpful. Got to come back again. Marinda and Gordon (Australia).

We stayed in the Byre cottage over Christmas with our two dogs, the cottage is stunning and immaculately clean in the most idyllic location for a peaceful break. The hosts Sarah, Andy and Lauren could not do enough to make our stay a great experience including welcoming the dogs and providing a truly dog friendly experience not just the normal dogs tolerated experience in most places. They run a small farm shop on site which provides their own great quality produce including an amazing haggis which has never been a favourite of mine but after Andy’s recommendation am a convert to their local haggis. We will definitely be returning here again as it’s the ideal location for a total wind down and re-set.
