It’s so well designed, maximising the use of the space. Great quality furnishing and decoration, the Scandi style gives a really cosy feel. Well equipped with everything you need to make nice meals and clean up. The location is stunning, each window has a picture view and it is so peaceful to sit outside and listen to the countryside sounds. Only 15 minutes drive from Dumfries but great location for exploring this part of Scotland. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x4862b6f3c450c257:0xaa6153d45869b468!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Holywood Road, Auldgirth, Dumfries, DG2 0RP [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=55.1372324%2C-3.6804902) **Category** Museums & Galleries **Guest rating** 4.6 / 5 (128 reviews) **Suitable for** Ages 4+ **Setting** Indoor & outdoor **Dogs allowed** No **Good for children** Yes **Toilets on site** Yes **Destination** Dumfries [More attractions in Dumfries](https://staycation.co.uk/dumfries/attractions) ★ 4.6 (128 reviews) [Visit official website](http://www.ellislandfarm.co.uk/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01387 740426](tel:01387740426) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Dumfries **Postcode** DG2 0RP **Plus Code** 9C7R5CH7+V5 [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x4862b6f3c450c257:0xaa6153d45869b468!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x4862b6f3c450c257:0xaa6153d45869b468!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x4862b6f3c450c257:0xaa6153d45869b468!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Dumfries Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
