Guest Reviews of 2022 from Ross Bay Retreat

As we enter a brand new year we have had a chance to reflect on another wonderful year here at Ross Bay Retreat. We were at last, able to welcome back and see many of those who had to defer their holidays during the Covid pandemic. We take great pride in ensuring that all our

Spring into Summer

Resourceful Lambs Well, those little singles, twins and sometimes triplet lambs of a few months ago are much older, larger but not very much more wiser now. The saying ‘the grass is always greener’ must have been invented by a farmer watching a sheep or lamb forcing its head (and sometimes itself!) under or through

Great scenery…..

Just doing that lovely summertime job of going around the animals out on the fields with the camera in tow as the sun is shining………… We are split for choice for a lovely photo to use but this secret little alcove / mini bay is just so cute…….could just sit there and listen to the

Waiting to go out for the Summer……….

Waiting eagerly to see if the weather warms up before they set off across the fields for Summer.  These calves, born in the Autumn have enjoyed their wintertime in the big shed with their mothers and are now ready to race around the green fields when the weather warms up a bit and the grass

Sitting pretty.

Remember a stay here and sitting on the bench, looking out over Ross Bay to the beautiful Lake District. Listening to the tide ebb and flow, listening to the birds sing, watching for the deer passing by, waiting for the basking seals on the rocks, hearing the engine of the fishing boats echo before they

Enjoying a mud pack!

Well, what can we say about her? She has enjoyed rubbing her head in the mud and spoiling her good looks for the time being. She has a young calf and is enjoying the great outdoors on the hill of Mielke Ross, overlooking Ross Bay and the Kirkcudbright Estuary. Its a hard life………..

Well for February the weather is lovely, sunshine and dryness, I am sure we will have to pay for it later in the year. Its still a little chilly but thought I would have 10 minutes out with the camera – its so photogenic here at Ross.
