We had a great weekend at Cat’s place. Comfortable beds, functional kitchen, and enjoyed the hot tub too. We all had a good time with the animals especially the dalmatians! The free farm eggs is a good touch too. Will hopefully come back :)
Had an amazing weekend away at Cats. After being welcomed by the super friendly dogs, we felt immediately right at home !! The lodge was super clean and peaceful. Cat was always just a message away if we needed anything at all. Would highly recommend the farm tour to meet all the animals especially the sheep. We will absolutely be back.
We had a great weekend on Cats farm, didn’t want to come home this morning. The kids loved it to, thanks so much. We will defo be back in the very near future
The cabins were located on a small farm where you can walk around to see the animals. Cat was very friendly and welcoming, as were her gorgeous Dalmatians (especially the puppy). The cabin was cosy, comfy and had everything you need. The fresh eggs were a lovely touch. The highlight was the hot tub that backed on to a field of nosy goats, so quite a unique experience.
What a place to unwind and get that farm experience. When the description says working animal sanctuary, you really are right in the middle of a working farm. it's brilliant! We would definitely recommend!
An incredible weekend stay - went for a relaxing girls trip & everything was even better than expected. Cat is super accommodating & took the time to chat with us about the many animals on the farm (who are all very cuddly!). The lodge was beautifully decorated & very cosy. Definitely planning to return & would recommend to others!
my friends and i had a fantastic stay at Cat’s lodge - we were so thrilled to have been able to play with the rescue animals and her lovely dogs. the hot tub was fantastic and the rooms were cozy and well furnished with just about everything you can think of! without a doubt one of the best, smooth, amazing experiences i’ve had on airbnb! 💗

I took my daughter and grand-daughter for a few days to the Sanctuary. After the madness of Christmas and New Year, we were looking for some peace and quiet. The lodge had it in spades. We arrived to be met by Cat and her wonderful pack of friendly Dalmatians. She showed us to our lodge and gave us full and informative instructions. The lodge had a hot tub which was just a wonderful addition. The lodge was clean and cosy and we felt very comfortable there. Cat was around if you needed her but left you to your own devices if you wished. We loved interacting with the animals. A highlight was meeting the lambs that had recently been born. Cat is an inspiration, rescuing all those animals and being completely responsible for them all! We couldn’t have been happier, it was exactly what the Dr ordered. 5* from us * please be aware that the lodge is quite remote so you will need the use of a car. The entrance into the farm is via a steep farm track *
Meikle Westland Farm is a very special place to stay. From the moment you arrive and are welcomed by Cat and her dogs to the day you leave it is super relaxing. We stayed in Glen Roe lodge. Cat has thought of everything you may need and we were grateful she could provide a cot for our 19 month old grandson. Everything is spotlessly clean. The sky on a clear night is a beauty to behold. The Information pack is comprehensive and extremely interesting. The animals are contented, friendly and fun to interact with. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
I stayed at Cat's place for a few nights with my 2 boys who are 5 and 2. We had a wonderful time and so much fun meeting all the animals. Unfortunately our visit coincided with storm Babet. It was extremely windy during our second day, which meant we couldn't venture too far away from the lodge on foot. When I thought it would pretty much be a whole day spent indoors (not necessarily a bad thing as the lodge was lovely but if you have small children, you'll understand my pain!), Cat went out of her way to ensure my boys were entertained by letting them play with her dogs, feed the goats and peacocks and also collecting the chicken eggs from the coops! It was fantastic and we all had a fabulous time! The next day was much calmer weather wise and we got to enjoy the hot tub which was bliss. Overall, it was the perfect break and just what we all needed - thank you Cat!
A++++ We’re just back from a 3 night stay. Absolutely amazing, the lodge was spotless and smelt fresh. The hot tub was awesome and we could have sat in it for hours at night and watch the stars (we were lucky enough to see three shooting stars) 😃 Cat was a lovely host and on arrival we got 6 eggs OMG they were so rich and creamy we also found a local farm that sells fresh milk again OMG so thick and creamy. We also took up the opportunity to groom two small ponies and my daughters had a blast doing it. All the animals are so friendly especially big donkey and the dogs are so much fun fun fun. All in all we will definitely be back there was something for us all here so much so the kids really didn’t want to go 😞 cat you do a wonderful job keep up the hard work. The shankland’s. Ps wee Emily can’t wait to write to you 🙂.

This place is an absolute gem! Both adults and kids loved the holiday. Lodge was beautiful and full of character, the beds were particularly comfy. Def recommend doing the “farm tour” with Cat. Beautiful, peaceful place- recommend Loch Doon if you’re staying here for a day out. We enjoyed just chilling at the farm/lodge as plenty to see and places to wander for a couple of days and of course soak in the hot tub. We were lucky enough to spot the kingfisher on the river too! Cat is just an amazing host, as are her gentle, friendly dogs. Cat should be so proud of her lodge and animal sanctuary. Already recommended to friends and family. Thanks for having us!

We have just spent a fab few days at Cat's lodge. The lodge has everything you need as a home from home for a few days. The hot tub is lovely after a day exploring with a great view especially of the goats playing in the field. We had an 11 and 8 year old with us and they loved being able to play with and feed the goats and lambs in the fields next to us. There are lots of animals to meet and plenty to do in the local area. Cat provided lots of information and was really quick to reply and answer any questions. The dogs were all cute and really friendly. We would highly recommend it, especially if you're an animal lover.
Cat and her sister were really friendly and great to have a chat with. The lodges are so relaxing as they're away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. If you love animals you'll love it here, the dogs Cat owns are beautiful and have been through so much before being here. They have the best life now and there's a information pack in the lodge to read up on all of the animals around the farm. The hot tub is a bonus to sit in, as dusk sets in to watch the stars.
This is a must for all animal lovers, greeted by all the dogs, Tango the goat who is very cheeky and naughty and Cat who is an amazing host. Boots/wellies are a must as you have 75 acres to explore and the chance to feed the animals with Cat also get to know more about the animals she’s rescued. Lots of nice places in surrounding villages/towns to visit and also to eat. Added bonus a hot tub to relax in, on an evening under the stars. Will definitely return. We’ve had an amazing week thank you Gina Colin Jasmine Adam & Millie xx
We found an absolute gem when we stumbled across miekle westland farm! We booked last minute on a bit of a whim and had no idea what to expect but the farm will be a new regular destination for us! The lodge was perfect, a great size, clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The hot tub was amazing. Cat is so friendly and attentive she clearly has her work cut out out caring for all the animal and running the farm but nothing is too much trouble for her. We loved meeting all the animals particularly the lovely Dalmatian doggies and tango the fence hopping goat who liked to join us on our decking 🥰 we will definitely be back!
Cat is an amazing host, she made us feel welcome immediately, there were such a range of activities to do, from feeding goats, grooming horses, and taking walks in the beautiful countryside. We has such a lovely time, all the animals were friendly, and we will certainly be back.
