Even simpeler leven bij Chloe and Gavin

Ontdek Balnab Whithorn Farm in Dumfries and Galloway, op het schiereiland Machars in het zuidwesten van Schotland. De boerderij is een melkveebedrijf met 120 runderen, schapen, geiten, pony's, kippen, eenden, katten en honden. De dieren verwelkomen je samen met de familie Vance op hun paradijs. Je knusse tenthuisje staat op het boerenveld met uitzicht over het landschap.

De plek voor fish and chips

Bezoek het kustplaatsje Isle of Whithorn en geniet van echte fish and chips. Een mooie zomerdag? Ga naar de badplaats Garlieston of het vissersdorp Port William. Je kunt ook de kust volgen langs Rigg Bay naar Cruggleton Castle, een mooie wandeling van twee uur.

Dit doe je op de boerderij

Verken de omgeving op de fiets of wandel over een van de vele routes rondom de boerderij. Help de boer bij het voeren van de dieren, het verzorgen van de pony's, of loop een rondje met de geit. Maak een tractor rit of ga voor een boerenvoetbalwedstrijd! Als melkveebedrijf heeft het boerderijwinkeltje een tap met verse melk. Als je dit eenmaal hebt geproefd, wil je niet meer terug naar de supermarkt! Wat is er mooier dan 's avonds op je veranda te zitten voordat je lekker in je comfy bed duikt.

Beautiful service, before and during our stay; lovely site with play equipment, loved the personal touches i.e. farm tour and hot tub and it all felt clean and safe. Nothing was too much trouble.

Our holiday on Balnab farm was full of wonderful experiences…a return to a simpler life where we watched our son play until the sun went down, make friends, run free and experience amazing new things. We will be back.The beds are lovely and comfy, the tents are clean and nicely finished and the outdoor private shower is a lovely experience. Taking a camping stove is really helpful in terms of heating water and food through more easily than on the log burner.Gavin the farmer was so kind and attentive to our farm loving little boy, he listened and explained all the answers to his many questions…and the opportunities for hands on experiences (calf feeding, goat feeding, tractor ride/meet the herd) were wonderful!

Lovely few days away. Great spot for exploring Galloway. I think the £30 late arrival and departure fee feels a bit uneccesssary as it goes against the welcoming feel that a family run farm generates. I also think that wood should be free.

What a weekend!! From the moment we were met by the lovely, smiley Cloe to when we left everything was great! Kids (14,13 and 9) LOVED it. Dog was beside herself with joy (who knew dogs and goat can actually play together??!). And husband and I are now looking at when we can go back. The Vance family are just amazing- it takes some super human strength to run dairy farm, campsite, shop, have 8!! Children all while keeping a smile on their faces. Nothing is too much trouble- when something malfunctioned in the tent it was fixed within minutes. We fed calves and goats, played on our own play park complete with hay bales and tractor, played football, drank “home” produced milkshakes, hung out with the horses, cows, goats and pigs that are literally outside your tent, BBQed and visited the gorgeous surroundings. Oh. And the sun shone!Basically- book this now. You will love it!

Family of four, 2 kids. I was apprehensive with no electricity and no wifi - how would they cope! We had the best time. There was something so special about going back to the basics but still having comforts such as comfy beds, cooking facilities, toilet etc. the kids loved the animals and now want goats as pets. They made friends and had a ball playing at the play area. The farm tour and feed the calves was fab. There is so much close by as well, we did the chocolate factory and visited the mull of Galloway lighthouse . It really was a special holiday ad we have made memories to last a lifetime - thank you x

Balnab farm We had a wonderful stay at Balnab farm from 25th to 28th July. We could not have been made any more welcome by Chloe and Gavin, their son joe, or their lovely daughters who were happy to play with the visiting kids. The whole family were happy to share their place with us, answer any questions, sort any issues and it was really special.The farm is perfectly situated to explore the isle of Whithorn, Newton Stewart, Kirkcudbright, and further.The tents are comfortable and well equipped and you feel close to nature but with most of the comforts of home. We loved the oil lamps and wood stove which were all set up (more oil and wicks available in honesty shop). We brought our own gas stove which was handy for boiling water for coffee. We had glorious weather but the tents are big enough should the weather confine you to barracks. A power bank is handy for charging phones and check all the info for handy things right remember like lighters, torches and hey fever tablets. The private outdoor showers have a great view and the buckets that form the shower head are so quirky (they continue to pour after you turn off so make sure you turn tap right to close).Our 9 year old (and us) loved the animal pens which are opposite the tents and house calves, goats, pigs and ponies. We loved occasional visits from the farm dogs bonnie and Flo. And Bernie the goat who liked to go a wander.The activities like feeding the animals, the tractor ride, pony ride and hot tub were worth the extra fee and really enhanced the experience.Thank you, thank you, thank you to all the wonderful Vances. Lots of happy memories made.

Just wanted to say thank you so much for a fantastic holiday. Definitely made some fantastic family memories this weekend. The set up is amazing. I felt I could totally relax and let the kids run free. They loved getting to feed the animals and their ride on the tractor. The tents were superb and had everything we we needed. We will all be recommending balnab farm to our friends and family

An opportunity for our children to connect with nature, make new friends, play safely outdoors , experience fresh air and sunshine in abundance and for our family to spend time together appreciating farm life and country living. Was just magical and the level of comfort and style made for a terrifically enjoyable few nights spent sleeping under the stars. Can’t rate it highly enough!!!!

Authentic child friendly farm experience. Our 6 year old just had the best time playing with the other children on the hay bails and running around with pigmy goats. Chloe, Gavin and their family made us feel very welcome and at ease. Any questions or issues were quickly addressed. We highly recommend it for families with children.
