Farm Land
Lochwood Farm is a 350 acre Arable and Dairy Farm situated on the outskirts of Saltcoats, in North Ayrshire.
Robert and Elaine have lived in their c.18th century farmhouse since they got married in 1990, although the farm has been in the family for just over thirty years.
We are situated up high on a hill and command some of the most magnificent views over the Ayrshire Valley and Clyde Coast.
Farm Animals
We presently milk 150 Friesan cows, twice a day, at approximately 6.00 a.m. and 5.00 p.m.
We have a Border Collie called Tilly. She is not usually tied up but is very used to people (and biscuits !).
If you have a problem with dogs then please let us know in advance so that we can keep her in during your stay.
This was Geoffrey, our Llama who is no longer with us.
Pickles, was a Christmas present for Victoria, and is her pet miniature Shetland pony – unfortunately not suitable for riding unless you are only two years old!
Ted is our very noisy donkey.
Farm Activities
On our courtyard patio, you could simply enjoy the view or read a book.
Enjoy a peaceful walk in the countryside.
