A lovely cabin, in quiet countryside. Very clean with all the amenities. Friendly dogs and nice people. Would definitely go back again. Fishing, gold panning, beaches, forests and lochs and country houses all close by. great for adults and children.
I dont typically review, but this place is exceptional. Everything was perfect, we absolutely did not expect this to be a complete peaceful bliss, but the environment and animals make it exactly that. If you love animals this is absolutely for you.
An amazing experience - the lodge was lovely with comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen to prepare meals, a gorgeous hot tub and the best of all is all the wonderful animals. We woke to baby lambs next to our lodge, had ponies grazing in the field next to us, lively and mischievous goats further down and more sheep, chickens, horses, spotty dogs, cats and the beautiful Dave and Spangles the peacocks. You truly have the most peaceful break surrounded by greenery and nature. Cat is so helpful and friendly and the tour of the farm was so much fun (I can’t remember all the animals names but their stories were lovely) she is the best host. We loved the location and couldn’t wait to come back to the lodge every day after our days out. We would recommend Cumnock outdoor swimming pool, Dumfries grounds for exploring as there is so much to do and see, Heads of Ayr Farm was fantastic and a tour round the Galloway Forest to see red deer, wild goats and if you’re lucky, an otter at Otters Pool. We had such a good holiday that we hope to return again soon.
Such a lovely place to stay! Felt so welcomed by Cat and her dogs, it was a very unique experience having sheep right in the backyard! I slept so easily each night and the air fryer in the kitchen was so handy! Cat was so lovely and accommodating, she even kindly lent me her jacket when it was raining as I’d forgotten! She gave us a lovely farm tour of the horses and unique black nose sheep. Will definitely be back! Thank you cat :)
We loved staying at Cat's animal sanctuary. We went with our two young children and had a fabulous time. We were welcomed by Cat and her pack of Dalmatian dogs which were absolutely adorable, really friendly and wonderful with the children. The setting is idyllic and peaceful. Fantastic for nature-lovers with peacocks roaming, Shetland ponies and sheep to see along with nesting swallows and more! Cat also has plenty of recommendations including Dumfries House, which is fantastic for families with young children as the playground is fantastic. The cabin was beautifully decorated, the kitchen was really well equipped, so we could cook-in comfortably and at ease. The beds were extremely comfortable and really cozy. There were board games, colouring and story books for the kids. Really well thought-out for families. The hot-tub was a big bonus too! Cat was absolutely fantastic with our young children and they even got to feed the sheep and the little lambs. We'd love to go back!
Grrat stay Nice, well decorated and clean lodge with all the facilities that we would need. Good location with great views and not too far from attractions, shops and towns. Kids liked seeing the farm animals and dogs. Nothing.
Exceptional We love it all cat the owner is an amazing person and it was such a lovely experience we will definitely be back next time with the kids
Exceptional Had the most amazing two days at Glen Bay Lodge. It is such a beautiful place with friendly animals to see and the host Cat was very informative and just adores her animals on the farm. Will definitely be back Everything about the place was amazing
Very comfortable and well equipped, loved the hot tub and it is a great location.
Amazing stay! Starting the day with gorgeous sheep cuddles and friendly dalmations was wonderful! A really lovely stay thank you!
Great place and a very friendly host. The farm was super.
Exceptional Great facilities. Lovely clean lodge
We really enjoyed our stay at Cat’s Farm. The location was beautiful, peaceful, and quiet. Cat met us when we arrived and was so friendly and helpful! And our daughter loved the Dalmatians, the sheep, the cat, and the peacock! This place felt like home away from home and we would love to come back!
We only stayed for a couple of nights but it was perfect - we got to meet adorable sheep and goats and dalmatians, and we also each paid £5 extra for the lamb feeding experience which was so lovely and utterly worth it. Cat was a wonderful host, and the lodge was in a very peaceful and private setting. It provided a remote and quiet escape from daily life. The beds were SO comfortable and cosy - maybe THE most comfortable and cosy beds I've ever experienced on holiday. I never wanted to get out of bed!! And the hot tub was a treat too. The kitchen had everything we needed. Overall an extremely memorable stay that I would recommend to any animal lovers!
I have stayed in glen bay twice now and I absolutely loved it loved all the animals around you and Cat herself is lovely the kids loved it and the hottub was amazing top class lodge and would definitely recommend it ❤️
Thank you so much to Cat and all the animals for a lovely few days on the farm. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and my grandchildren had the time of their lives, bottle feeding the lambs, meeting all the animals and going in the hot tub. Cat clearly loves all the animals and the stories of their rehabilitation, under her care, are awe inspiring. We certainly hope to return soon.

Had the loveliest weekend here with the girls last weekend! Cat is so lovely and can’t do enough for you. The lodges are spotlessly clean and have everything you could possibly need or want! The animals are a total bonus and make it even better! ?
We had an amazing time. Cat was lovely and made us feel very welcome. We’ll definitely be back.
Exceptional My children absolutely loved all the animals especially Cat's dogs and the lambs especially Limpit who they bottle fed many times along with some other lambs and had lots of cuddles with. Inky the sheep was another favourite of theirs, I must say I never new sheep could be so cute! The farm tour we done with Cat was great and got to see not just sheep but the goats, newly hatched chicks from that day, the peahen with her chicks, got to meet the horses and ponies too, while always being accompanied by the Dalmatians - they love to get in on the action! Nothing not too like, maybe just the sharp end of a goats horn! But even though they like to play headbutting games they are still lovely.
