Galloway Retreats
Arriving
The Stay · Eleven Private Spaces

Choose how you disappear.

Two distinct ways to unwind on our peaceful family farm: cosy timber pods and spacious luxury cabins beneath Britain’s darkest skies. All cabins and all but one pod feature a private hot tub.

Two Collections

Eleven spaces. Two very different ways to switch off.

Every stay is designed for two to five guests, adults-first and gloriously private. Choose the intimacy of an arched timber Pod, or the space and drama of a Cabin reborn from steel — almost every retreat features a private hot tub, while all offer peace, privacy and the wide Galloway skies.
