With their eye for detail, the owners have transformed these former farm buildings into a little bit of heaven in the most glorious of surroundings. Grobdale of Girthon is a small farm on the edge of the Galloway Forest Park, where you can enjoy peace and tranquillity yet be easily accessible to all this beautiful corner of south west Scotland has to offer.
The Croft really offers the ultimate in luxury living, from the living room with its comfy sofa and cosy wood burner, and a well equipped kitchen, to the sumptuous bedrooms and modern bathrooms.

Whilst set in a beautiful rural location, Grobdale of Girthon is only 6 miles from the picturesque town of Gatehouse of Fleet, which has a variety of excellent eating places, two very well stocked shops and a pharmacy. There are many attractions in and around the town including the Mill on the Fleet Visitor Centre and Cardoness Castle. There are also delightful beaches within a few minutes drive of the town, including Mossyard and Cardoness.
With mountain biking, fishing, scenic coastal walks and forest trails, golf and water sports close by, there is something for everyone. A visit to Kirkcudbright is a must! Known as ’the artists’ town’, it attracts visitors throughout the year drawn by the harbour, historic high street and the diverse range of annual events and visitor attractions. The popular programme of summer festivities culminates with the spectacular Tattoo, an event not to be missed.

Outstanding property in a beautiful location with peace and quiet.
Outstanding property in a beautiful location with peace and quiet. Property was well equipped and maintained. Underfloor heating was cosy and warm. The wood burning stove was of the best quality. Owners supplied logs and kindling along with a welcome pack with essential items. Kitchen was well equipped with many thoughtful features. Appliances are all good quality and well maintained. The location is very good with excellent views. Outdoor seating area with fire pit was a great feature. Owners run a small farm and have a farm shop which offers a fine selection of local produce. Owners were very helpful making our stay comfortable. An excellent property offering every comfort.
