With kids
Runach Arainn is even more lovely in person than in the photos. Great location for a peaceful and relaxing stay on Arann. The yurts are comfortable, the kitchen/fire-pit etc are well-equipped and the orchard setting is beautiful. It's just a short walk to the beach or to the Lagg Inn for dinner. Highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic spot! Yurt was so well equipped, they really had thought of everything. Beautiful location in such a peaceful area, and a lovely beach in walking distance! Couldn’t recommend enough

Yurts in Galloway Forest Park guide
When to go
While it makes for a great destination all year round, stargazers should aim to visit Galloway Forest Park between October and March. That’s when the skies are at their clearest and most crisp, affording the best conditions for spotting planets, constellations and even the Milky Way. Wildlife watchers should aim for early October to catch the spectacle of rutting red deer. In spring you can see deer fawns and baby goats.
Know before you go
- There are several visitors’ centres in the park, which are good places to pick up trail maps, take an organised tour or just refuel with a snack.
- Despite clear skies, the weather conditions can change dramatically. Be sure to bring warm, wet-weather gear and sturdy footwear.
- The closest public bus stop is in Glentrool, a 20-minute walk from the Glentrool entrance to the park.
