We purchased Cnocanreoch Farm on the Isle of Arran in 2024 after moving from our old B&B in the same village. The farm had been with the same family for nearly a hundred years prior; and we are so thrilled to be able to continue its farming heritage.
Proud to be members of 'Go Rural' showcasing 'Scottish Agritourism.'
Our main byre is where we milk the goats and provide milking demonstrations. It is wonderful to maintain dairying in an age where farming is in a period of flux and change, and to educate the next generation regarding traditional farming practices.
The diversification into soap-making, alongside agri-tourism heralds a positive, and sustainable future for the farm, and the family as a whole.
The old byre as it was before the advent of tractors. The horse and cart was a mainstay of many a traditional farm, with the horse often eating better than the family!
Today, we have our dear old farm mascot, the happily retired Mr. Fudge, who used to work tirelessly on my old riding school many years ago - and he still eats better than us!

We now have an honesty box at the end of our farm track. You can find fresh organic eggs daily; and homemade cakes in the summer season.
In addition, we are hoping to add a luxury glamping pod for the 2025 summer season.
