My boyfriend and I have just returned from a two night stay on the farm, and it wasn’t long enough! Cat responds so quickly and is so helpful. She made a welcome pack which has absolutely everything you need to know, and so much info on the animals she has rescued which is a lovely touch. The lodges are equipped with everything you need, more utensils than I have at home! The hot tub is incredible, even with a chill in the air it’s so worth the quick dash to jump in. The animals are all delightful and so friendly, they seemed to enjoy the interactions as much as we did. We can’t wait to book again in the near future and couldn’t recommend highly enough. There are shops not too far away if you forget anything, but you just feel like you are in the middle of nowhere and that was perfect! X
If you want to feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere and be surrounded by beautiful animals visit this farm. Not only is the cabin and hot tub great, you can count on a warm welcome from Cat and the dogs. The area is beautiful and the cabin is very private. The balcony is a complete sun trap and a great place for morning coffee. Overall nice people, stunning views and friendly animals. We can’t wait to come back.
We had a great week here. The cabin we stayed in was clean and spacious and had plenty of cooking utensils which was great as we mainly ate in. The king size bed in the master bedroom was amazing too. Having our own hot tub after a days walking was the perfect way to relax. We loved saying hello to the sheep and donkeys every morning, and of course the four gorgeous dogs!
Cat and her sister were extremely welcoming, with cat greeting us on our arrival with the help of her gorgeous dogs to give us a quick once over of the farm and the lodge. The lodge was spotlessly clean, really couldn’t fault it. It is well equipped with hairdryer, soaps and even skin so soft to prevent the beasties. The additional Picnic blanket was great as it was ideal for sitting beside the river. There is plenty to do at the lodge, from visiting the animals, the hot tub, walking routes across the land and even fishing for those who enjoy this. Overall the lodge is perfect for a trip away. Can’t wait to return for another visit and can’t recommend the hosts enough.
Amazing place, amazing host. Perfect for a relaxing get away. All the animals are amazing and super friendly so lovely to be around. Highly recommend and we will hopefully be back soon ❤️
We had a truly wonderful stay. Cat & Ellie are both so friendly and welcoming, and always happy to have a chat. The location is excellent, with lots of opportunities for walking. The hot tub is also fantastic. For me, the best thing about Cat's place is all the farm animals that are all so friendly. This made the stay quite special.
I cant reccomend this place enough. Everything was perfect from the tranquil location, lovely friendly animals. The cottage was spottless and very spacious. The hot tub was perfect. We would definitely return.
The entire experience at the farm was fantastic from start to finish. The lodge is very homely and well equipped, spotlessly clean and the hot tub an added the bonus. It feels like you are a million miles away and the animals are all adorable. Highly recommend a visit and will certainly visit again.
We had a great time at the lodge, it is cosy and comfy and had everything you need. The real perk is the surrounding countryside and all the beautiful animals that are so lovingly taken care of here. My boys enjoyed learning about them all abs Cat was happy to answer their thousands of questions! The hot tub was a lovely touch too. We loved it!
Great lodge, comfortably sleeps 6. All the equipment you need for making meals and loved the hot tub!!
We are home from an absolutely perfect family get away. Not only are the lodges beautifully presented, clean and spacious, the location and views are idyllic.l (especially from the hot tub!). Cat and Ellie were fantastic hosts. Checking in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed and also providing a tour of the ground which included introductions to their gorgeous extended family (the animals). Every single animal is friendly and gorgeous in nature. My wife and my two year old boy loved visiting them regularly, getting to pet them and having cuddles. We enjoyed hearing their background stories and were amazed at how well handled and nurtured they’ve been by Cat and Ellie. They work they do is fantastic. They obviously work tirelessly to provide these animals with a loveable home and are clearly passionate about their care. With that in mind, if you’re not an animal lover, this location might not be for you. It would be unfair to expect the owners to lock up their dogs or free range animals to accommodate your requirements (my personal opinion). If you are an animal lover, then this is absolutely the holiday for you. I really can’t recommend them enough. We could’ve stayed forever.
Would definitely recommend a stay at Meikle West Land Farm. Cat & Ellie were extremely welcoming and the animals are just beautiful. The lodges are spacious while giving a cosy feel and the hot tub is an amazing touch. If you love animals and tranquillity it’s a brilliant place to go!
We had a brilliant time at the lodge. Both Cat and Ellie were brilliant hosts and took time out of their day to show us their animals and bits on the farm. The lodges were spotlessly clean and the hot tub was very enjoyable. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Our 4 year old was a bit apprehensive of dogs before the trip, but he came away loving them. the highlight of the trip was definitely catching the largest brown trout I've ever seen.
Thanks for being a great host Cat! Both yourself and your sister went above and beyond to accommodate us all. Lovely girls! And such a friendly farm - even all the animals were so friendly and welcoming. And that hot tub!Perfect!?? (Just remember the citronella and midgy spray??? along with Cat also having left ‘Skin So soft’ in the lodge already for us??) We will definitely be back! ? Thanks so much again girls! Xx
Down a rocky road, past bushes and woodland, you'll find the farm sitting eloquently at the bottom of a valley. Cat was already on-site to wave us in, with big smiles and a very warm welcome. The farm is completely guarded by hand sanitiser stations, to our delight. We met the kids of the farm - i.e: the dogs. They were extremely friendly, and we very excited to have some belly rubs and cuddles. The lodge itself was hidden away next to the donkey paddock, and was more than spacious for the three of us. Cat gave us an introductory chat about the farmland, animals, amenities and of course the Hot Tub. Though the weather was rather wet, we loved our time bathing in the hot tub, feeding the lambs and going on adventures around the farm. There was talk of some kingfishers getting a spot to eat down at the river, we think the rain scared them off before we arrived, but the abundance of wildlife and landscapes were remarkable. In the evenings the kitchen was fully equipped for our cooking and the TV was connected to the internet so Netflix was a breeze. A hidden farm nestled in a Scottish valley, filled with animals and landscapes and of course Hot Tubs! (Did I mention that bit?) What more could you ask for?
The lodge is loacted right in the middle of Cats farm which suited us perfectly as we wanted somewhere quite secluded. We all felt so at home allowed to wander round the farm seeing all the animals at our leisure. A couple of us even got to feed to lambs their milk in the morning which we loved. Lodge was perfect size and had all amenities we needed. Will defiently be recommending this place to others.
I visited wuth husband and 2 young daughters and i will be back without a doubt we absolutely loved our stay cat and her sister were amazing hosts nothing to much trouble and were haooy to let us help bottle feed the lambs and go in to see horses the lodge was spotless and so cosy felt like a home away from home cat would instantly reply when i text for anything the welcome pack telling us animals story was amazing can see animals adore her and her sister all happy the hottub ofcourse was amazing and spotless cant wait to return ! Xx
Amazing place to book. Hosts couldn't have done more for us and also allowed the kids to feed the sheep and horses. That made the trip for them as they love animals. I have a nearly 3 year old and a 1 year old and they both loved it. Wouldn't hesitate to book again.
The place is a great spot to get away from everything a few miles from the nearest town. The lodge was lovely and warm and the hot tub was one of the best I’ve been in. Cat was welcoming and hospitable throughout and we even got to feed the sheep on the farm which was a nice addition! Would absolutely recommend as a getaway for couples or a larger group for a weekend away.
This place exceeded my expectations. So beautiful and peaceful! Me and my other half are big animal lovers and being greeted by the dogs in the morning made the trip and more! Beautiful scenery and a very cosy lodge. Cat was great and responded so quickly to texts and gave us such good advice on walks and where to get supplies. The welcome pack had loads of information on all the animals on the farm which is such a good read. Loved watching the horses, sheep and donkeys play about in the fields. Hot tub was sublime and the lodge was so clean (which was even more needed due to covid) hand sanitiser was placed on gates all over the farm and had cleaning supplies and a list of instructions to follow to keep everyone safe! Cat and Ellie were amazing hosts. So approachable and very hard working. Loved this place will 100% be back
