Well it has been 4 days of hard work at BG to carry out essential maintenance. We have had the hot water boiler serviced, a new lock on the front door to enable our guests to get out from the inside should there be an emergency, the chimney has been swept and after some feedback from a guest, a new handrail fitted to the communal area outside to improve access. Everything has been scrubbed within an inch of its life and ready for our new guests on Sunday.

There’s lots to see, do, touch and discover at Port Logan Fishpond and we are open daily from 10am to 5pm.

“We visited the pond on a bit of a cloudy day and was warmly welcomed to see the fish in the pond.
The gentleman took us down and starting telling us about all the different type of fish there was, he had so much passion and knowledge about the fish it was lovely to see.
We got to see him feed them and he took us into the cave and let us touch crabs, starfish and others.
The kids loved it! and so did I 🙂🙂”

Mr Butler's Gait Holiday Rental and I went up to Glentrool today which is not far from Butler’s Gait. The bird sounds were amazing and as well as those listed on the photo, we heard a blackcap and a CUCKOO! If you love biking, birding, walking or stargazing then this is another place for you to visit. We also stopped off at House O Hill hotel for a refreshing drink on the way back. The menu looks amazing.

⭐️ We have another new resident to introduce to you! It’s a spiny starfish ⭐️

⭐️ This is a large starfish and can reach a diameter of 70cm!

⭐️ The spiny starfish lives up to its name and is very spiny - its whole body is covered in white spines.

⭐️ These starfish live in shallow waters which are close to shore and down to depths of around 200m.

Visit Port Logan Fishpond to meet this new arrival, feel his spiny body and find out some fascinating facts about this sea creature.

We are open daily from 10am to 5pm.

The beauty of our area is that there are so many wonderful places to visit and sights to see. Today we at Butler's Gait Holiday Rental went to dog friendly Aldouran Wetland Garden. We spent time in the hide enjoying the birds and learning from a very knowledgeable visitor. There were tadpoles in the pond, bluebells, celandine and wild garlic in the woods and early flowers for nectar seeking bees. We enjoyed a picnic by the pond. A lovely place to visit on Butler’s Gait’s doorstep.
