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. ## Photos Photos via Google ## Can I bring...? β›Ί Tent pitches βœ“ Yes 🚐 Caravans welcome βœ• No 🚌 Motorhomes welcome βœ• No ✨ Glamping available βœ“ Yes πŸ›– Lodges & statics βœ“ Yes ## Lodges & pods - πŸ›– James Kelly shepherd's hut ## Facilities 🚿 Hot showers βœ“ πŸ“Ά Free WiFi βœ• 🏊 Swimming pool βœ• πŸ›’ Onsite shop βœ• 🎠 Children's play area βœ• πŸ– BBQs allowed βœ• πŸ”₯ Campfires allowed βœ• 🧺 Laundry βœ• 🎣 Fishing βœ• πŸ› Hot tub βœ• β™Ώ Accessible facilities βœ• πŸ…ΏοΈ Hardstanding pitches βœ• 🍽️ Bar/restaurant on site βœ• On-site restaurant/cafe Free wifi Shower available Toilet block Washing-up area Wifi Single-sex groups welcome Student groups welcome Adults only Dogs allowed Dogs allowed all year Forest Lake and/or mountain Luxury Peaceful Remote location ## Takeaway & food delivery Handy if you fancy a night off cooking β€” here's what delivers near this site. ### πŸ₯‘ Just Eat β€” 2 takeaways deliver to this postcode (DG9 8PH) Dominos - Stranraer β˜… 4.5 Β· Pizza, Chicken Rana Kebab House β˜… 3.5 Β· Pakistani, Indian Checked 26 Aug 2026 β€” always confirm on [justeat.co.uk](https://www.just-eat.co.uk/) before ordering, as coverage can change. ## Nearest supermarkets Handy if you're self-catering or need to stock up on arrival. - Lidl 5.5 miles - Morrisons 5.5 miles - Tesco, Stranraer 5.6 miles - Aldi, Newton Stewart 16.8 miles - Sainsbury's, Newton Stewart 16.8 miles - Co-op, Newton Stewart 16.9 miles Straight-line distances β€” the drive will be longer.
