This was an amazing break away. My partner and I travelled here with our two friends for a three-night stay. We stayed in the Glen Roe Lodge and were welcomed on arrival and told all the need-to-knows before we unpacked and settled in. The lodge itself was gorgeous and extremely cosy. We were given complimentary chicken and duck eggs which was a lovely personal touch. The lodge was in perfect condition both in hygiene and cleanliness. The views both travelling to and on the farm were stunning. The animals were all very friendly and the hosts gave us a tour of the farm where we were told each of the animals backstories. Inside the lodge there is a handy booklet which includes phone numbers for local taxis, takeaways etc and a map of the farm and other local walkways. There was a wifi connnection which had a medium strength signal but was sometimes a bit iffy- however this wasn't a major issue as we spent most of our time exploring cumnock or outside in the hot tub! Cat and Ellie were very quick to respond if we sent them a text which was very helpful!
The only issue is that the central heating is set to only be allowed during set hours which did not allow us to dry our towels conveniently (when the weather did not allow us to dry them outside). Although we brought some of our own towels, we also could have done with a few more towels than those which were provided. As there was no washing machine facilities, this meant we had to reuse towels. The only reason we had to use so many towels is because there were 4 of us and we had to shower before and after using the hot tub, which we used each of the three nights we were there.
It wasn't a huge deal but was definitely an inconvenience- however, Cat and Ellie did put our used towels in the tumble drier for us so that they were atleast dry on the last night for us using the hot tub.
Overall we had an amazing time at Meiklehill Westland Farm in the Glen Roe Lodge and would highly recommend this place for a couple, group of friends or family! We will definitely be returning as we had a great time here :) Thanks again to the hosts.

A highlight of our trip! We stayed here while exploring Galloway Forest, but our best memories come from seeing and meeting the rescue animals at Cat's farm! We absolutely loved having excited sheep run up to greet us when we arrived, and Cat took us around to meet all the animals on our last day. The lodge itself was perfect, spacious yet cozy and with everything we needed for our stay. If you love animals, this place is a must for your trip!
Very friendly and relaxing stay
We had a fantastic stay, Cat, Ellie, the dogs and cat were so welcoming and friendly, we got to meet all the animals on the farm and hear their rescue stories. The ladies do an amazing job, beds were very comfortable and the hot tub was a great addition. We will definitely be back ?
A fantastic stay and ideal holiday for our two small boys. The lodge is spotless, cosy but still felt like we had a lot of space. Cat is an amazing host and we especially enjoyed being showed around the whole farm and meeting all the lovely animals, from chickens and lambs to horses and donkeys. Would absolutely recommend a stay at Glen Roe Lodge.
Had the most wonderful time meeting Cat and sister Elle and all her beautiful animals on the farm. Staying with my two friends in the lodge was exactly what we needed after so many months of lockdown and barely seeing each other. We actually had to postpone our visit a couple times due to restrictions but we're all so happy we kept the booking and finally got to visit. We fed the lambs twice which is an experience we'll cherish forever, also Cat took us on a tour of the farm and we got to hear about all the animals and so many amazing rescue stories. Our lodge was super homely, plenty of room for the 3 of us and well equipped with a big fridge, and a freezer for lots of ice! We had breakfast, lunch and dinner and drinks on the decking area every day with a beautiful view and a playlist of birdsong, sheep and the stream, absolute bliss!
Davidona: “Out of all the Airbnbs that I’ve stayed at all over Europe, Cat was by far the kindest, most generous and hospitable host. I’ll be forever grateful that she opened up her home and passion of rescuing animals to us and made our holiday the highlight of the year.”
Huge thank you from all of us, we can't wait to see you all again!
Wonderful spot to relax
Cat and Ellie were great hosts and were more than happy to give us a tour of the farm and just chat to us about the animals at all times. The lodge was great, all comforts you could need (great shower, comfy sofas, full kitchen, very comfy beds and hot tub!). The animals are all very friendly, Dali, Cally, Wilma and Mina (the dogs) were ever present and always happy to get some fuss! The wifi was good speed and the phone reception in the area was very good too.
The place is honestly a hidden gem. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Cat and her sister went above and beyond making us feel welcomed. Was an amazing experience meeting all the wonderful Animals. The lodge and hot tub itself was perfect. Would definately be back and recommend. 5*
We stayed at Meikle Westland Farm for five fantastic nights at the start of June. The lodge was a great base to explore the surrounding Scottish countryside - the location/scenery is absolutely stunning. The lodge was very clean and well equipped including the hot tub. However the main attraction is definitely Cat and the animals. The place is perfect for animal loving young adults or families with young kids. If you’re an animal lover, I’d thoroughly recommend a stay ??
My fiancé Laura enjoyed so much she wanted to add her own part of the review! Cat and Ellie were fantastic hosts and were happy to help with anything we needed. The tour of the animals with Cat was amazing and we loved being introduced to them all and hearing their stories. Being able to bottle feed the lambs was very special and having cuddles with the rest of the animals was lovely. I would also highly recommend staying here! ?

Perfect ?? food for mind body and soul!
A little piece of heaven! Everything about the farm and our stay was amazing. Peaceful, tranquil, beautiful location and the animals are adorable like a big family welcoming you with open arms. Truly a credit to the hosts!
Couldn’t fault a thing!
Exceptional
Absolutely brilliant chilled out stay here. From the minute we arrived till we left was amazing. Cat and ellie made us feel so welcome and loved meeting all the animals. The lodge was so clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The hot tub was brilliant for just chilling out. My little girl loved feeding the animals and loved every minute of it. I can't thank cat and ellie enough. You both work very hard and made us feel very welcome.. thanks girls see you in November xx
