About this property

The Buoys - a lodge that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

Mossyard, home of the McConchie family for five generations, is a traditional working farm situated in a magnificent coastal location with the beautiful backdrop of the Galloway Hills. Mossyard, located 4 miles west of Gatehouse of Fleet, is in the heart of rural Dumfries & Galloway, south west Scotland.

The Buoys, our well-loved and popular original lodge, occupies a commanding and uninterrupted view, not only over the beaches and coves (a five-minute stroll from the door), but down to the Cumbrian Hills and The Isle of Man.

The living/ dining area has sliding glass doors opening out on to a spacious, glass-fronted veranda, and beyond to the sea. Inside, we have a selection of books, games and DVD’s for those wet days, or darker evenings. A basket of fresh local produce is provided on your arrival. and our bed linen is of the highest quality.

We hope you will love Mossyard as much as we do.

Wild Dook Sauna now available at Mossyard public beach car park, please check out Wild Dook Sauna's website for more information.
