When you really, really need to get away from everyday life, pack your bags and head for Loch Ken Shepherd’s Huts on the shores of peaceful Loch Ken with views over Galloway Forest Park. This teeny-tiny glampsite is on a working farm that’s 15 minutes’ drive from Castle Douglas in Dumfries and Galloway. Each wooden hut is decked out with super-comfy king-sized beds (crisp linen provided), a cosy seating area, a clay pot for refrigeration and a small Belfast sink. Crockery, cutlery and glassware are all supplied too, along with basics like tea, coffee and drinking water. The huts have no electricity (battery packs for phone charging can be provided if you ask), but they are heated by potbelly stoves that keep you snug and also double up as cookers. In the mornings, you can have a lie-in, read or take in the views of the loch without having to get out of bed. A private bathroom with a hot-water rainforest shower (heated by solar panels) and a composting toilet comes with each hut. For warmer days, there are firepits outside on your private decking, as well as charcoal barbecues and gas camping rings. You can restock supplies at the village shops in Balmaclellan (five minutes’ drive), and if you don’t fancy self-catering, there’s an award-winning pub/restaurant five minutes’ drive away. Parking is conveniently set right next to the hut.

Gjeterhytte The Secret (for to personer, ingen elektrisitet)

Likte Beautiful Location
Peaceful and remote
Unique
Strong phone signal

Likte ikke Not exactly dislikes but anyone going to stay here needs to be aware of a few things.
Access is across two fields and a stream so you need a vehicle capable of crossing that.
There's no electricity supply at all so no ability to charge a phone or refrigeration and you need to make appropriate arrangements.
Toilet is a composting toilet and might not be everyones liking

Fra bestyreren: Pleased you had a wonderful stay . Guests love our remoteness , next to the loch with direct access but still only 4 miles away from 3 villages and an award winning restaurant . If guests don’t want to cross the little stream with the car they are very welcome to park and walk the last 30 yds to the Shepherds hut . No electricity as we are totally off grid but hot running showers pumped by solar energy , charged lanterns and we can supply a power pack for charging your phone . We use zeer pots for refrigeration and the composting toilets are the fabulous woohoo ones which don't use separation .
These Shepherds huts are secluded and are at one with nature with plenty of wildlife and the loch through the day and the stillness of the evening and stars at night .

Lokale attraksjoner

At Loch Ken Shepherd’s Huts, you can go wild swimming, fishing, paddleboarding and kayaking (bring your own equipment) in the loch, spot wildlife including herons, deer, hedgehogs, red squirrels, owls and otters (the latter two at dawn and dusk if you’re lucky) and bask under a million stars on clear nights. If you’re looking for more sporting action, Galloway Activity Centre (five minutes’ drive) hires out dinghies and you can clamber all over the inflatable climbing course or book in for archery sessions. Galloway Forest Park (10 minutes) has ample walking or cycling tracks and fishing in its lochans and streams. Throw a bit of heritage into the mix with a tour of the art collection at Drumlanrig Castle and Gardens (45 minutes), or check out the installations and earthworks at Crawick Multiverse (an hour), built over a former open-cast mine.
