We have just had a lovely guest review follwing their stay at the Farmhouse at Destination Balcary:

'A little bolt hole of comfort within the beauty' - Review submitted on Fri, 04 Oct 2024

"The farmhouse was such a gem to find. Set amongst acres of farm we were far enough away from neighbours to really enjoy the expense of view and feel at one with the surroundings. The Farmhouse was high quality in attention to detail, facilities to use on site. There was products in case of emergencies, very well organised for family use. The set up was great if one of you wanted to meander into the sitting room, another could hide in the snug in comfort and another soaking in the view in the conservatory.
The utensils and tools in the kitchen were led out in a superb way for ease of finding and use. Electrical products easy to use and information packet was so stocked of info nothing was left out. Beds were so comfy you felt cocooned as the wind whistled at night. This farmhouse bolts you in, pulls you into its cocoon and you feel safe and warm, but lifted up to enjoy its expansive view of the waters around the coast. The private back paddock was superb for letting your dog out safely within a confined place. Walkways were signposted well. In fact, there was nothing that we would change at Airds of Balcary. In fact we would love to come again. Thank you for making us feel so welcome. It made our holiday the joy it was"

September Farming Activities at Airds of Balcary Farm - A farmer’s work is never done, with the changing seasons there is always another important task to embrace. It is no different here at Airds of Balcary Farm and September brings no respite in the busy schedule of farming activities during the autumn time.

Its ‘Tupping’ or mating time for the sheep. The tups (rams) meet the girls (ewes) to mate aiming for an early lambing time around the end of January and early February......

View from my office window, moving silage bales off the fields which have been too wet to travel on for a few days due to the summer weather 😂😂😂

Top team arrived to row up and bale behind the combine. Barley straw ready for bedding the shed to house the cattle in winter. Deep litter manure produced by the spring to spread on the fields enriching the soil the old fashioned way!
