We like to think of ourselves as 'ambassadors' of Dumfries and Galloway! As well as our own home reared produce we are passionate about supporting and promoting other local producers, craftsmen and the like. Dumfries and Galloway is a real foodie destination with an array of restaurants, farmers markets and specialty food retailers. As we can confidently recommend the region to anyone who loves our produce we have put together a few recommendations of holiday accommodation and events in the region – all accommodation listings not only get our seal of approval as a quality provider of holiday accommodation but we also deliver to them too.
This year we are proud to be ambassadors for the Wigtown Book Fesitval. The festival runs from 26 September – 5 October 2014 and is a 10 day literary celebration in Wigtown, Scotlands national 'book town'. The festival offers something for all ages as a whole host of talented authors, performers, craftsmen and local producers get together to offer a range of events and activities including book readings, performances and movie showings. It's great for us to get a chance to support such a great event, authors of some of the most popular children's books on offer for sale here at Kilnford will be there too. Programmes are available in our shop and more information is available on their website http://www.wigtownbookfestival.com/.
Barnsoul is nestled in the Dumfries and Galloway countryside, only 6 miles from the town centre. It offers a range of accommodation including pods, luxury lodges and tent pitches. The pods look fantastic and offer the ultimate 'glamping experience'. One of the great advantages of staying at Barnsoul is that its only a short drive from Kilnford!
Facilities include: hot water, electric hook ups, shower block with individual cubicles, communal kitchen, children's play park, dog exercise area, picnic area, laundry, chemical toilet and an on-site warden.
Solway View holiday park is set in a traditional working farm situated right by the sea, so you can expect stunning views and a true escape from any hustle and bustle. The tranquil location offers caravan and tent pitches as well as funky wigwams if you fancy a bit of glamping! Of course if you are looking to eat out or indulge in some shopping in the local independent shops Solway View is ideally situated for visiting both Kirkcudbright and the idyllic town of Gatehouse of Fleet.
The owners Neil and Patricia Picken offer a friendly and welcoming service and truly strive to ensure you will enjoy your holiday to its maximum potential. Not only do they ensure they are looking after their guests; but Neil and Patricia go above and beyond to protect the environment of their beautiful surroundings. They have a thorough environmental policy and all of the power on the site is generated by 'Tina The Turner' (the resident wind turbine) along with the help of solar panels.
