Inside The Hayloft.

The Hayloft is the hideaway room of Killiehuntly Farmhouse, set in the farm's old stone steadings a short stroll from the house. It has a large bedroom made up as a double or a twin, a sitting area, a small kitchen for snacks and a shower room, so it feels like a little place of your own. Breakfast and supper are served round the farmhouse's shared table, and the sitting rooms and sauna yurt are yours to use too.
