Marcella Eakin-Watt
A newly converted Steading on a working farm, which is in a lovely part of the countryside in Dumfries and Galloway. We are only 4 miles from a delightful town called Castle Douglas. Some of the main attractions are: * Longest zip wire in Scotland at Laggan out door activities, (plus many more activities) 16 miles away. * Feeding station for Red kites just 2 miles away. * Chocolate Factory approximately 6 miles away. * Cream of Galloway and many more things to do.
My main job which is on site is running the poultry Farm. I do holiday cottages between with help from others.
