In the 1960’s the Keswick family handed building over to the local Forestry Commission, who utilised it’s forest location to provide hostel accommodation for workers within the forest and nearby sawmill.

It was not until the 1970’s that it first became a large guesthouse, offering bed and breakfast accommodation to tourists and visitors to Dumfries and Galloway.

Over the years, it grew in popularity, with families looking to host weddings and christenings in the beautiful old building and surrounding grounds you can still find here today.

A perfect base to relax and explore Dumfries and Galloway from, we were proud to feature in Love From Scotland’s ‘Where to stay in Galloway and South West Scotland‘ blog recently.
