In 1951, Glencairn Balfour Paul saw the house from the road and fell in love with it. His brother Ian, a keen bird watcher and elder of the Kirk, lived there for twenty years from 1990, following which other family members now maintain the house and its grounds through holiday lets. It has caught the eye of many passing artists who have depicted the house and adjoining wood, including early 20th-century local artists such as A R Sturrock and A M Hotchkis. The Balfour Pauls found Little Boreland just magical.
There are sandy beaches and rocky coves along the coast while the hillier countryside is good for walking. Nearby the Galloway Forest Park, known for its starlit dark skies, has excellent cycle paths. There is so much to see and do with castles, prehistoric sites and specialist gardens, thanks to Galloway’s mild climate.

Summary: We had a lovely time at Little Boreland. The property is full of character, clean, comfortable and cosy. It is in a beautiful location, with lots to see and do. The hosts were very helpful and we would definitely consider returning here.

Summary: Little Boreland is as near to perfect as you can get. The house, it's history, it's setting,are all outstanding. This was our second visit, and won't be our last. Locally, there is so much to do - walks, beaches, places to visit. It is just as satisfying to stay in and around the house watching windlife, and playing in the grounds. We were delighted with the friendly and helpful contact with both the owner and the caretaker. It accomodated our family of a couple, three single adults, and a 12 year old child very well. We were cosy and comfortable. We wished we could have stayed another week. All six of us would highly recommend Little Boreland. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Summary: My finger hovered over the NO button in answer to "would you recommend this property". This was a totally selfish gesture as I wanted to book Little Boreland again and not encourage other holiday makers to book it. I wanted it all to myself and when you visit you will see why. The house is a immaculately clean, well appointed, comfortable, with fantastic views and, of course, your very own wood. The travel and Covid safety instructions we received prior to our visit were concise and accurate. The house was clean as whistle, with the fires all laid. A "holiday pack" of goodies in the good size kitchen was on the worktop. The house abounds with original artworks and local information. Two good size bathrooms both with showers and one with a bath. One up one down. The down stairs shower room has a double size shower. Brilliant. One cannot ask for a more comfortable home to stay in. The garden and surrounding grounds offer a wide variety of birds, red deer and red squirrels. Feeders in the grounds and by the large panoramic patio bring in a colourful hord of birds. The BBQ worked overtime and with such a vista you will see why. Well, I can go on praising Little Boreland, and I suppose I should but I have just booked our 2021 holiday there. So now I really can say "I do suggest you have a fantastic holiday and book it" Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Summary: We had a lovely week at Little Boreland. The setting is fabulous and great for children - lots to explore. You are also a short journey to the charming Gatehouse of Fleet - nice beer garden at the Ship Inn, lovely park and useful shops. Fantastic beaches are not far away either.

Summary: An excellent cottage on the outskirts of Gatehouse of Fleet in a semi woodland setting and feeling quite remote. Excellent for families although there's plenty of water close by if you have little ones.

Susan Aug 2, 2019 06:07:17 PM

Summary: The children were tucked up in the attic but were never still long enough to enjoy the magnificent views. The alcove by the rear entrance became a favourite to sit and watch the birds.
