About Glenwhan Gardens

Shepherds required. No experience necessary. Or sheep… That's right, just pack your bags and bring yourselves to this lovely spot, a shepherd's hut in a 12-acre ornamental garden.

Brought to their full flowering life out of the Scottish moorland some 35 years ago, these family-run gardens a 15-minute drive from Stranraer have a backdrop of sea views across to the Isle of Man and the Mull of Galloway. You'll feel tucked away in remote splendour in your cosy hut overlooking the lake – a top spot for couples seeking seclusion, with a well-equipped kitchen, woodburning stove, shower room, comfortable double bed and wifi.

In spite of the seclusion, there's an on-site tearoom serving full meals as well as cakes and sandwiches, and guests can explore the gardens at will, including the 17-acre moorland walk. Both cultivated borders and wild areas harbour red squirrels, birds, wildfowl and fish in the lake, making this a genuine wildlife haven. There's a small shop 10 minutes' drive away in Castle Kennedy, with pubs, food and supermarkets in Stranraer.
