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.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the castle. Our en-suite room was warm, spacious and comfortable. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Above all else, our hosts were attentive, friendly and welcoming.
I have stayed here a few times. The location for exploring south west Scotland is excellent. The key issue in this area is finding somewhere to eat in the evening, so this time I opted for the dinner provided by the B&B. This was very good, and certainly way better than you might find in local pubs (if they are open...).
