Guardswell Farm

Alpine | A pretty special wedding for a special friend at Guardswell this weekend... alpine extravaganza... complete with trees, skis and fondu! #guardswell #guardswellfarm #farm #wedding #farmwedding #julieandpaul #alpine #ski #fondu @ Guardswell Farm

Maxwell String Quartet | They’ve toured the world, just home from an American tour, 1st in the Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition, their debut album is due for release in March, and George- their violinist- got married on the Farm in 2017... and now they’re coming back to play at Guardswell on Saturday 9th March! Take a wee peek at them @maxwellquartet ! Tickets go on sale on Monday... #guardswell #guardswellfarm #maxwellstringquartet #maxwellquartet #spring #concertseries #haydn #folk #stringquartet #farm #steading

Pizza Peel | Thursday lunch time for the team after a busy two weeks of working hard- first wedding of the year this weekend! We can’t wait! Thank you @blackfishevents for the elderflower fizz... a bit of a naughty treat alongside Iain’s awesome pizzas #guardswellfarm #guardswell #farm #workinglunch #pizza #pizzaoven #elderflowerchampagne #lunchtimedrinks #teamlunch @ Guardswell Farm

BUILDING WORKSHOP ARE HIRING | Lovely Guardswell architects Building Workshop are looking for some cool new members of their team...they work in the awesome Humpty House, surrounding by beautiful woodland and overlooking a loch. Rosemary makes really delicious cake, and the two boys are just the coolest outdoor sprogs, whilst Ben has some pretty seriously ace architect-y ideas. I mean, if theres any architectural "firm" you should wish to work for...its them! Check them out!!!

Hutstay | The Infield looking pretty bang on yesterday... a cosy seat next to the fire, @kinfolk to read- or that view! Looking forward to welcoming a friend to stay this weekend- even if the forecast weather is a little woolly (pretty good place to storm watch) #guardswell #guardswellfarm #farm #infield #hutstay #stay #farmstay #kinfolk #woodburner #selfcatering #farmholiday #weekend #scotlandisnow

Donkeys | Hugo and Ollie have the right idea... they grow lovely thick, wirey coats for when the weather is like it has been for the last few weeks. They have a lovely cosy Donkey Shed, but they much prefer sleeping in the woods- cuddled up in small woodland paddock along with the sheep for warmth #guardswell #guardswellfarm #farm #donkeys #hugoollie #hebrideansheep #fatherandson #wintercoat #cosy #woodland #guardswelldonkeys

At last | Childlike joy at the arrival of snow! Maybe not enough to ski... but how pretty it makes everything #Guardswell #guardswellfarm #Farm #snow #stay #play #learn #farmhouse #guardswellfarmhouse #farmstay #farmholiday @ Guardswell Farm

A Guardswell Thursday | Today was a perfect Guardswell day. Happy news scratching away in the woods, frosty hebrideans, beautiful sunrises, diamond covered windows and warm light twinkling on the ice at dark. #guardswell #guardswellfarm #farm #perfectday #dayonthefarm #eggs #happyhens #frost #january #explore #scotlandisnow @ Guardswell Farm

Good morning from the Infield! Jamie working hard up there today... but at least he has this to look at!

Inversion | A wee photo from Friday... gorgeous low lying cloud and the sun rising over fife. Jamie taking a few moments at the start of the day to take it all in... before Mole ran over and bounced on him #guardswellfarm #guardswell #farm #view #carseofgowrie #farmview #stay #farmstay #perthshire #tayside #scotlandisnow

Remodelista | If you’re a @remodelista fan (and if you’re not, you should be) then you can imagine our excitement when we saw this!! THE website (and books) for everything considered design... and our go-to favourite for some day dreaming- skipping between that and @gardenista_sourcebook Thank you, Annie! Well done Scotland, you’re pretty awesome! Have a wee nosey at the “Còsagach” series on the site- which includes the wonderful @porteous.studio #guardswell #guardswellfarm #farm #farmstay #scotland #scotlandisnow #hut #hutstay #hutting #farmhouse #stay

Snug | Happy end of weekend everyone! We’re officially back in the office tomorrow- hold onto your hats if you’re waiting for an email response (we’ve a few to work through)- and we may find it quite hard not to escape to the farmhouse, it’s all warm and wintery in there- and the soft daylight at this time of year floats through the south facing windows throughout the day. #guardswell #guardswellfarm #farm #farmhouse #guardswellfarmhouse #farmyard #cosy #snug #winter #selfcatering #escape #backintheoffice #hello2019

Infield | Rows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way.
... The Infield sitting in, and nearly above, the clouds today. It’s warm with the fire on, it’s blooming chilly outside... poor wee Mole #guardswell #guardswellfarm #farm #infield #theinfield #hut #hutting #hutstay #stay #play #learn #clouds

Plans | The view from our new office is pretty knockout...! Still some work to do- a bit of painting, some furniture... oh- and a new person too! Can’t wait to introduce you to the new member of our team... she starts at the beginning on February- and to say we’re excited would be an understatement. #guardswellfarm #guardswell #farm #space #rural #ruralvenue #office #officedecor #view #carseofgowrie #teamguardswell #roofscape #stay #play #learn

Thursday Trot | Mole is pretty chuffed with this weather... ears a’flappin’ in the wind, a chill in the air and the sun on her back! The view from the Pendicle is looking pretty special too... oh Carse of Gowrie- you’re beautiful! #guardswell #guardswellfarm #farm #stay #play #learn #hut #hutting #hutstay #pendicle #mole #guardswellmole #sunshine #january

Indian Street Food | We’ve been a little quiet on the old instagram for the last couple of weeks... and that’s because we’ve been working our way through every morsel of Rajasthani, Nilgiri and Andaman street food...!! A list of recipes in hand, and hopefully some Indian inspired cooking heading back to Guardswell- with plans afoot for a tandoor in the woods! The words of @darina_allen in my head- encouraging travel, taste and food adventures (not carrying a stone mortar and pestle home like her, but do have bags full of karahi, tiffin tins and spices!) Very sad to be leaving, and will sorely miss Idli and sambar for breakfast- but ready to hit 2019 running #Guardswell #Guardswellfarm #farm #food #cooking #explore #travel #foodtravel #cartshedkitchen #tandoor #masalachaiaddict #indianstreetfood #nonewyeardiet #stay #play #learn @ Delhi

Happy Honkeys | These guys are pretty happy right now! A walk up to the boat, some long tasty grass (with a few hidden plantain and yarrow tasties out of view) and then a wee tour of the farm- they always manage to mistake the front doorstep for the loo. They so love being walked, perhaps we should get planning a long distance donkey walk...?! #guardswell #guardswellfarm #farm #donkey #honkeydonkey #donkeywalking #play #walk #farmwalk

Path | A few weeks of maintenance at Guardswell... and some awesome new path plans (who doesn’t love a path)! We’ve got a new one through the Big Wood, and another up to the Infield so it’s a little less “off-piste”! Fancy a new year adventure, a few days wandering our paths, following the sun setting behind the hill, and popping the fire on before tucking yourself up in bed? #guardswell #guardswellfarm #farm #farmstay #stay #hut #hutting #farmhut #hutstay #path #paths #walks #explore #adventure

Happy Hogmanay | Thank you to all of our wedding, staying and learning adventurers from 2018!! We have LOVED meeting every single one of you! And can’t wait to welcome some of you back in 2019, as well as all of the new faces heading our way! Thank you all for being so awesome (and sorry about the wonky timing... we’ve escaped for an Indian NY!)

What a fantastic venue for our son Andrew to get married to Alina. Being the first wedding there made it that bit extra special! Not a single teething problem! Everything was perfect and Anna and the team excelled themselves. I cannot praise them enough. Well done team Guardswell.

This place is just amazing, my daughter & son in law were married here on 2nd September and it was just a dream come true. The view, the venue, the houses the log cabins were all exceptional. Anna and the team were wonderful. Thank you so very much Team Guardswell, highly recommend. Xx

This place is amazing, epic views, great accommodation, Anna and the team are brilliant. We will be back, but for more chilled times next time. Thank you for making everything so special �

The Gill wedding held here was amazing. The venue is excellent. The views are stunning and the people involved in this venue were outstanding. The whole experience was just perfect. Could not recommend this place more highly. They deserve the 5 stars and more. Thank you for making this a great day

Such a beautiful setting. We had a fab time.

My son was married there in July this year to my lovely new daughter-in-law and the whole weekend was just fantastic. Well done to the management of Guardswell for putting together a facility that has it all.

Just back from a lovely stay at Guardswell. We fancied a night away so booked last minute to stay in the Kailyard. A beautiful and well kitted out Shepherds hut on the edge of a field.



We shared our field with Hugo and Ollie the donkeys and a herd of black sheep. Donkeys are very friendly and enjoy comping to see you for some carrots.



The facilities in the main block are perfect. A Cosy room with a stove and spotlessly clean shower rooms.



And the views. �. Amazing. We sat on our deck with a beer and just took it all in.



Would be very happy to go back for a longer visit.



Thanks

Laura and Simon.

Incredible venue run by an incredible team. Absolutely blew us all away. Thank you so much! �

Heaven on Earth.

Had a brilliant few days at the beautiful Guardswell Farm. Anna was a breath of fresh air along with the rest of the kind staff we met during our stay.

Guardswell Farm is simply sensational. Stunning venue for the ceremony and reception, cracking on-site accommodation and a genuinely caring and thoughtful support team to make it all run like clockwork. Made our day 👌🏻

Guardswell Farm is now my most favourite place in the world! We had our wedding here last month and this place is just incredible. We booked this venue when it was basically a building site, and it’s been so exciting to see the wee updates and progress photos along the way. The end result is just spectacular and far better than we could ever have visualised! Anna is the mastermind behind Guardswell and she is the most lovely and most helpful person you will ever meet. She is so enthusiastic and passionate about the Farm, and her attention so detail really shows. The minute we booked Guardswell, we were confident we had made the right choice and our wedding day couldn’t have gone any better. We viewed a lot of local “barn style” venues, but nothing comes close to the magic of this place, it has everything. We loved the accommodation, the views are amazing too and we are looking forward to coming back to visit again soon. Thank you so much for everything Anna, we had the best day! xx

Faultless.

Delicious Sunday brunch enjoyed by the whole family

Attended a wedding in June. The whole establishment was very impressive with stylish decor and layout. Plenty of space and a superb location.

An amazing space with stunning views!



Clearly so much thought and effort has been put in to make the whole place absolutely perfect.

Amazing venue! Would get married again just to get married here! Absolutely beautiful! X
