Braco Farmhouse Reviews

Emily
Beautiful house, peaceful spot, really enjoyed stay!
Jason Turner
We really enjoyed the stay. The place was spacious enough for just the two of usand having a dedicated area for our dog to run freely was a bonus. Close enough to town for quick trips out. All in all, a cracking little getaway!
Emily Carter
We had such a lovely long weekend at Braco Farmhouse! The setting is so peaceful, really perfect for relaxing. The place itself is stunning, both inside and out. Every detail, from the cosy bedrooms to the hot tub, was spot on. The owners even left a sweet welcome basket which was a lovely touch. We'd definitely recommend it for a chilled getaway and we'll be returning soon!
Oliver
We had such a lovely stay at this cosy cottage. It's spacious, comfyand beautifully decorated - perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the Galloway forests or the Solway Coast. Watching red kites soar above the fields from the upstairs windows was a real treatand the hot tub was a great way to unwind under the stars. Being on a working farm added a special touch. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful getaway!
Emma Carter
If you're on the fence about booking, just do it! We recently stayed for three nights and honestly, it was lovely. The house is super cosy and well thought out-nothing seemed overlooked. The kitchen had all the gear you'd need, plus nice glasses, which isn't always the case. Kids had plastic plates and cups, so no worries there. The hot tub was a real highlightand the views are simply stunning. Beds were really comfy too. Loads to explore nearby. Thanks so much-we'll definitely be coming back!
Emma
The house was super comfy and huge, perfect for us. Loved the location, plenty to explore nearby. We had an awesome week!
