Fantastic stylish private wing of a magnificent Scottish Baronial Mansion located amid beautiful, landscaped gardens. Relax in front of the open fire after a day out exploring the beautiful local area.

Treat yourself and your family or friends to a stay at this impressive Scottish country house, set within immaculate grounds, some 2 miles from Langholm. Up to four people, plus a pair of very contented canines, can experience the magic of a stay at this handsome home, which was once a baronial mansion. Explore this verdant corner of Scotland, close to the border with England. Enjoy the scenic Esk Valley on foot or by bicycle and return to your two-bedroom holiday home, set within your own private wing, to light the fire or unwind in the sunshine.

Make your way into your welcoming abode via the indoor courtyard. Let yourselves into the hall and wander through into the lounge to stoke up the fire and gaze out across the garden towards the fields. Plan your evening’s viewing on the Smart TV; read your book for a while or chat through your plans for the following day’s adventures. Amble through into the bright kitchen/diner to make a homecooked dinner then take in the leafy view through the window in here as you enjoy it.

Climb the stairs up to the first floor to choose between the king-size bedroom and the twin. The family shower room is also at this level. Take in the wonderful views in the morning as you enjoy your first cup of coffee of the day.

Enjoy relaxing out in the indoor courtyard with a cup of tea and a slice of cake after returning from your long walks. Find a useful boot room here too, where you can leave your jackets, books and any other hiking gear. Wander out into the shared garden to bask in the sunshine on summer days and to cook supper outside on the BBQ. Find plenty of parking at the country house.

Lace up your hiking books and head off to discover the beauty of the Esk Valley and Eskdale. Find a myriad of footpaths and trails in this picturesque area.

Spend time in Langholm, with its galleries and independent stores to ponder in. Shop for local produce in the farmers’ market at the Buccleuch Centre, where you might also be lucky enough to see a live performance. Langholm is also known for its salmon fishing; angling permits for the River Esk can be arranged here.

Venture 4.5 miles from the property to take a tour of Gilnockie Tower, a 16th-century tower house. Drive 7.5 miles and cross the border into England to explore the magnificent Kielder Forest Park. Here you can follow trails through the woodland and around the largest man-made lake in northern Europe. Drive approximately 20 miles from your Scottish base to reach Hadrian’s Wall, where you might like to walk for a stretch.

Journey 15 miles to celebrated Gretna, known as the place young lovers from England would elope to. Spend time meandering around the shops here, dine out in cafes and restaurants and wander round the Devil’s Porridge Museum, once the largest munitions factory in the world.

Fantastic cottage, part of a Manor house. The property is immaculate, beautiful done and so comfortable. The grounds are huge, plenty of seating at various locations and a dedicated bbq. Nothing to complain about. Even the welcome scones and chocolate were lovely. Local town is 2 miles away and has everything you need. Plus Gretna Outlet 30 minutesRead more and Dumfries 50 minutes.

Lovely cottage with great views over the local hills, it sits in the grounds of a larger house, and we enjoyed seeing the local wildlife (pheasants in the garden every day). The cottage is extremely well equipped, clean and comfortable, in a good location close to the town of Langholm where there are a few shops, two hotels and a takeaway.
