The Cottages
Wigeon
The 3 cottages, Teal, Greylag and Wigeon, have been converted to a high standard from one of the farm byres. Each consists of two twin bedrooms, bathroom with bath and shower, good-sized living room with TV, dining area and an open plan kitchen with hob and combined microwave oven. Wigeon is a non-smokers cottage and is furnished to a higher standard than Teal and Greylag.
A shared utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer is attached, together with a good-sized drying room.
A cot & highchair are available if required.
Greylag
All units are fully heated from a central system, with solar heating supplementing the OF boiler. This arrangement, combined with the excellent insulation in the cottages themselves, makes for warm and energy efficient units, with no additional charges made for services.
Access
Cars are parked immediately in front of the cottages.
For the less athletic, all the cottages are on one level with easy access and no steps.
Teal
Provisions
Wigtown, 1 mile away, apart from bookshops, has a Post Office, chemist, supermarket, cafes and other shops to provide the necessities for self-catering. We will be delighted to get in any provisions, before you arrive, particularly, bread, milk, butter, eggs, and such items that are inconvenient to carry long distances.
The cottages are all equipped with crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils.
Linen
Bed linen and towels are provided free of charge in Wigeon.
In the other two cottages, guests can choose whether to bring their own linen & towels, or pay a small charge to have them provided. See the 'Tariff' page for details.
Garden
The garden, with it's mature trees, shrubs and large expanse of lawn, is fully enclosed and safe for children to play in.
Pets
Kennels are provided free for kennel dogs; well behaved house dogs are welcome in Teal and Greylag, but not in Wigeon.
We are on a working farm, with our own dogs and cattle, so regrettably dogs cannot be allowed to range freely.
Arrival and Departure
We ask
you please not to arrive before 3 pm and to vacate your cottage by 10
am on change-over day; this is to allow us time to prepare your cottage
to a good standard.
