The best active winter breaks

The homegrown talent

Brockloch Bothy on Brockloch Farm

You’ll find the boutique cottage of Brockloch Bothy on Brockloch Farm, Dumfries & Galloway. Set amongst a bluebell wood, Brockloch Bothy has all the plush amenities you need for a UK break. Experience the UK’s longest zip-wire at Laggan outdoor centre or head out for blissful winter coastline walks at the Sandyhills and Carrick Shore beaches. Once you’re all walked out, Castle Douglas (9 miles away) is a foodie’s paradise, with cafes and restaurants. We’d find it hard to tear ourselves away from the roaring fire inside the cottage though…
