A lovely county castle surrounded by Belted Galloway cattle and sheep. The castle grounds have a fruit trees, herbs and vegetables. Tobias is truly a wonderful gentleman and host. He prepared an amazing breakfast both mornings which consisted of local flavors ( haggis, blood pudding, potato cakes, eggs, bacon and sausage). Tobias gave us a tour of the chapel and grand hall with interesting history. Baron James prepared a formal dinner which was also delicious. We are Maxwell descendants by DNA and name so the link to this castle is intriguing.
Back again, everything as was expected.Tobias is an excellent host and nothing is ever too much. Private dining in the great hall was wonderful and highly recommended. Will definitely be back.
I was greeted and very well looked after during my stay. The evening meal was delicious as was the enormous breakfast I had. Although I slept in and was later than I said I would be it wasn't a problem. Looking forward to going back when weather warmer and drier to walk around the grounds znd gardens.
