The Dunlop family bought High Kirkland from the local estate owner back in 1984 which were then in a serious state of disrepair. They renovated Robin's Nest and Heron View. The Byre was then restored in 2002 to add to the equation. The driving force was Sheelagh who we sadly lost in 2007. Donald and Robin then took on the legacy while trying to meet the everyday needs of the modern day self caterer.

When Robin passed in 2017, Donald, Vicki, Yvie and Anna took on the baton and continue to be passionate about delivering the best service possible to our wonderful guests. The quest continues.

Beautiful cottage fully equipped with everything we needed for a country break. Peaceful and clean with Kirkcudbright near enough for everyday essentials. Hot tub made it extra special.

It's really clean and has a great atmosphere. The logburning stove is amazing!

Comfortable, clean and a peaceful setting, just a stones throw from all the services in Kirkcudbright. Cared for and well managed by the owners.

We stayed at The Byre, a lovely clean comfortable cottage with everything we needed. The hot tub was great with beautiful scenery through the day and stars at night. Excellent countryside location just a short walk or drive into Kirkcudbright.

A comfortable and clean cottage. 1 mile walk to Kirkcudbright so we all felt we had a little exercise at least to get to the pub. Highly recommended.

Lovely place to stay. Well equiped and very comfortable. Situated in a lovely quiet area with great views. Kids all enjoyed seeing the animals in the fields next door to the cottage. Would recommend this place for quiet break.

Large spacious cottage with stunning views. Very comfortable and well presented. Great for the dog too. Super place to get away from it all. Thank you, Donald.
