Airds Farm

Airdside, our smaller 3 star cottage, has accommodation for 5 people in a double, twin and single room. Centrally heated, it is comfortable and warm all year round. A 28' digital colour TV with freeview and a DVD provide evening entertainment and there is a fully fitted kitchen with fridge, microwave and washing machine. The bathroom has bath and separate shower and ample supply of hot water. The cottage has views to the front over the fields and Loch Ken.

Our larger house, Airdsmill, with 4 stars, sleeps up to 8 people, having two double and two twin rooms. The house benefits from underfloor heating, but has a log-burning stove as a feature. 32' digital wide-screen TV is provided in the spacious lounge with seating for 8. The kitchen is fitted with a range cooker, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and microwave. The adjacent dining area has a table seating 8 and a utility room also houses a washing machine and utility sink.

The house is ideal for groups or two-family parties, especially for winter breaks. Interestingly, this house is heated by a ground-source heat pump, taking its energy from the pond in the field adjacent. This make the house very 'green' in terms of its carbon footprint, something many people will welcome. The house originally was a barn and threshing mill, driven by a water wheel. The original wheel has long since gone, but a replacement has been sourced and when work to refurbish it is complete it will be put back into position.

Airds farm is an ideal location for both relaxing and active holidays in this exceptionally scenic area of Scotland. Dumfries & Galloway (sometimes known as south west Scotland) is one of the most unappreciated parts of Scotland. It has many places of interest, such as castles (Threave, Cardoness, Caerlaverock, Drumlanrig to name but 4), abbeys, (Sweetheart & Dundrennan) and interesting towns such as Kirkcudbright, Dumfries and Gretna. The coastline has many small places of interest also, such as Auchencairn, Colvend, Rockcliffe and Kippford, with walks both easy and arduous. Artists still flock to Kirkcudbright with its light appreciated by famous artists such as Hornel and Faed.
