A lovely country house hotel, with past smuggling associations dating back to 1625, stands in over three acres of garden in a secluded and enchanting situation on the shores of the bay and today provides an idyllic venue for short breaks in Scotland.
The unspoilt countryside of Galloway has a rich variety of scenery from sandy bays to lochs, forests and moorland and,with the benefit of the Gulf Stream, enjoys a mild and long holiday season. The hotel retains much of its old character and charm while providing modern amenities and comforts.
It has full central heating and all bedrooms have en suite facilities, colour TV, radio, telephone, tea/coffee making facilities and hairdryer. The focus is on comfort, locally sourced food such as Galloway beef & lamb, and fine wines. Excellent hospitality and superb setting make this an ideal base for taking short breaks in Scotland, particularly in the south-west, Dumfries and Galloway.
