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 only enjoyed one night, with private dining, as part of a touring holiday. A car is essential but we have recommended to everyone
We had a lovely stay celebrating my best friends birthday. The staff member who looked after us/ran the tour was extremely friendly, interesting and helpful. The room and general location were beautiful. The only downsides to the stay were: - The shower dripped constantly - The full cooked vegetarian breakfast wasn't a great selection; perhaps wrongly, we'd expected some meat alternatives for Bacon/Sausages/Haggis/Black Pudding. We were provided Mushrooms, Scrambled Eggs, Potato Scones & Aubergine. We would definitely return if we're in the area again. Thanks all!
