Stopped at the wee cafe for a cuppa as the other half had forgotten the flask... was provided excellent service by (I think their name was zooey). They were friendly and made an excellent coffee without burning the milk. Covid safe and definitely hit the spot.

Husband and I aren’t big forest hikers, (I’m always worried about ending up lost lol!) but staying local and reading about all the lovely walks in the area - we decided to try here. We did the cairn walk, and really enjoyed it!! such a lovely way to get out there and see nature. Easy to follow posts, and was in awe when we reached the loch. Great clear paths, it’s surprising how quick it gets dark! but loved the peace and quiet. Visited the centre for a cold drink, few people here and there but pretty quiet. Plenty of parking. We also visited the wildlife hide, beautiful birds of all kinds. Really enjoyable few hours, we’ll be back :)

What a hidden gem this is. Beautiful, quiet gardens to wander in and such a lovely walk along the coastal path and a private beach too and all for the grand sum of £3 to park the car! Finish your day off with a trip to The Harbour Inn just down the road in quaint Garlieston. A lovely day out indeed.

We had a really fantastic time here. No children with us but can see why children love it. Beautiful location and a warm welcome from the animal - loving owners. We visited a while ago but still talk about this place quite often. Wonderful close contact with a great selection of animals, and the eagle owl presented to us at the end had me in tears - the sheer wonder and beauty of him was overwhelming! What a privilege to be able to stroke an eagle owl. Fantastic memories and would strongly recommend a visit to anyone who loves animals and birds.

Went with my boyfriend who loves archeology and he enjoyed having a little look (I enjoyed looking at the field of cows directly behind it). We were only there for about 15 minutes which was more than enough, but definitely worth a look if you're into stone circles.
