the ‘fold

The ‘Fold is a unique, hand-crafted, off-grid shepherds hut, situated on the site of a 200 year old sheepfold. Nestled at the top of our small Christmas tree farm in the rolling hills of Dumfries and Galloway, this beautifully styled retreat offers a peaceful and cosy space to relax and switch off from the world. Take a stroll through the wild meadows down to the working flower farm or unwind on the veranda and take in the stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

A spacious, rustic porch with seating for 2 and a hand-made coffee table greet you upon arrival to The Fold. Inside, an inviting, reclaimed-timber clad nook holds a comfortable double bed with bedding and luxury, fresh linen included.
Pull-out steps double up as stools, along with the pull-out table, to create a cute dining area. A built-in, tall cupboard and large drawer give space for clothes and luggage to be stowed away. The small, but functional, kitchenette comes fully equipped with crockery, utensils, cookware and tea towels. The wood burning stove radiates a wonderful heat for the chillier nights, but is also great for boiling the kettle and cooking on the stove top.


stay pretty wild

Outside, the lean-to houses a composting toilet, a sink and washing-up area and the quirky, bucket shower! Simply pop a kettle of boiled water into the bucket, top up with cold water, hoist it up then open the valve! Bath towels, hand towels, shampoo, conditioner and a complimentary bar of natural soap are included. Along with plenty of washing up liquid for your dishes. Guests have full access to walk through the Christmas tree field and are also free to view the flower farm. Entry to the flower farm via guided tours may be available upon request.
