Days out from Sheiling BnB, Tourism

A little spot of R’n’R

The hot sunny summer may have left with our guests but we enjoyed our afternoon off visiting Maolachy’s garden in the glen above Kilmelford.

It’s a lovely spot with winding paths, steps, and a burn. The young at heart can enjoy a game of Pooh Sticks at one of the bridges, with a bucket of twigs waiting for their players. The actual young can enjoy a treasure trail around the garden, I spotted some of the treasure but was pretty sure I was too old to claim it.

 

It’s not  garden full of showy specimen plants,  but  as the owner says “…By not struggling to grow tender or late species we take much pleasure from those that are happy to grow here”.

Isn’t that a great philosophy?

 

If you’re in the area there’s also Arduaine garden , and for food and drink Room at the Top above Kilmelford store and the Bistro at Loch Melfort hotel , both dog friendly.
