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 had a lovely stay over at Buittle on our way home from a holiday in Ireland. It was very comfortable and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. We were made to feel really welcome and invited to enjoy the extensive and atmospheric grounds. The castle and grounds are in the process of restoration so if you like everything perfect this might not be for you, but if you like a place with character and history we would highly recommend!
An overnight stay at end of 2 week trip in the UK. Great setting, very peaceful and quiet. Tobias was helpful and communication leading up to visit was good. Intriguing place and fair play to the lads in undertaking the restoration project. Would have no problem returning.
