About The Black Sheep

The Black Sheep, a charming, single-storey shepherd's hut tucked away in the serene countryside of Whithorn, Dumfries and Galloway. Perfect for a romantic retreat, this inviting haven features a wood burning stove, a private hot tub, and rural surroundings.

One well-behaved pet is welcome, making it an ideal escape for couples and their furry friend. Discover a hidden gem nestled within a remote working dairy farm, where endless rolling fields stretch to the horizon.

A charming, long path beckons you toward your new sanctuary, a tranquil holiday home, framed by breathtaking vistas and the soothing hum of nature. Inside, you will be greeted by a snug studio-style living space, thoughtfully designed to maximise space and ease.

Here, you will find a small kitchen, perfect for preparing romantic meals for two. Adjacent to the kitchen, the sitting area invites you to relax in the plush chair, warmed by the glow of the toasty wood burning stove, creating a warm atmosphere for those chillier evenings.

When sleep calls, drift off into a night's embrace in the snug king-size bed, offering a serene sanctuary. The external bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath and overhead shower, provides a space to unwind and soak after a day of exploring the surrounding countryside.

Step outside to discover the enclosed wrap-around garden, a delightful space featuring a lawn and gravel area, complemented by outdoor furniture. Here, you can enjoy alfresco dining, courtesy of the provided barbecue, or simply soak in the wood-fired hot tub while taking in the stunning countryside views.

Immerse yourself in the authentic farm experience by visiting the on-site dairy shop, where you can purchase everything that this farm has to offer, from fresh produce to handmade goods. Let the essence of rural living envelop you as you explore the grounds and engage with the everyday workings of the farm.
