Our stay was 2 families of 4 meeting in this great location and utilising Slatehouse Cottage. I was familiar with the area and had always admired the location of Slatehouse Cottage. I was very impressed with the conversion works to create the holiday cottage. The freedom of walking in the parkland/policies and alongside the River Nith was great.

Cosy,peaceful,delightful stay in this 3 bedroom property. If your looking for beautiful scenery, walks and calming surroundings, this should be your go to destination.

We were surprised that even more updating has been done - we thought it was fabulous last year but there's new furniture (fabulous brand new chesterfields) and the kitchen and bathrooms have been completely refurbished!
