This is one of the most enjoyable and relatively undiscovered parts of Scotland to visit. Drumlanrig Castle is one of the most spectacular anywhere, with a fine collection of art and furniture. There are walks in unspoilt landcapes, gardens, quiet roads and remote hills with mountain hares and wild goats. The Moores are always ready to help and give advice about touring in the area, as well as arranging shooting and fishing on nearby estates. All bedrooms have bath or shower rooms en suite.
All rooms have colour TV, radio, direct dial telephone and tea and coffee making facilities.
They have recently restored the walled garden to provide organic vegetables and herbs. Vegetarian and other diets happily catered for. Also, the hotel has a number of lovely walks mapped out from the grounds up to the sandstone gorge of Crichope Linn or down to the River Nith and The Covenanters Grave yard. The dramatic and beautiful Dalveen Pass is 15 minutes' drive to the North where the Queensbury Marble Tomb is housed in Durisdeer Church and one can join the Southern Upland Way, or walk along the old Roman Road. 30 minutes' drive to the South is the beautiful cliff-top coastal path from Sandyhills to Rock Cliff bay, and even closer the wonderful setting of Glenkiln Sculpture Park.
