AUTUMN AT THE BARN

As the seasons shift, the Barn takes on a new rhythm. Cooler days, golden leaves, the crackle of firepits, and dishes that put our cheeses, pork, and seasonal produce at the centre. October and November bring a calendar of simple pleasures — from children’s activities in the woods to spiced pumpkin lattes and slow autumn walks.

AUTUMN WALKS

Take time to explore our 80 acres of woodland, with new paths marked out by Andrew. Crisp air, rustling leaves, and plenty of space to roam.

Spiced Pumpkin Lattes & Muffins

Throughout October, we’ll be serving pumpkin-spiced lattes, seasonal hot chocolates and autumn-inspired muffins in the café and take-away shed — the perfect companion to a woodland walk.

We are situated on the A702, five miles north of Biggar. There is ample parking as well as 80 acres of woodland to explore.

Dogs are welcome at Errington’s Barn! We have a designated area in The Larch Room, our adjoining garden conservatory, where you can relax with breakfast or lunch while enjoying views of the woodland. On colder days, the log burner keeps it warm and cosy.

We recommend booking ahead, especially at weekends when it can get busy. There’s also plenty of outdoor seating for sunnier days.

Dogs are welcome in the farm shop, but only service dogs are permitted in the main dining area.

A wooden signpost with four directional arrows points to "Woods," "Cafe," "Take Away," and "Cheese Shop." In the background, a garden flourishes with flowers near a rustic building known for its locally-sourced food.
