About this property

The Stables is a romantic, one-bedroom conversion tucked away amidst the rural beauty of Dumfries and Galloway, in Dalswinton Mains on Dalswinton Estate. Embrace the tranquillity of the countryside from the comfort of this charming property, with its rolling views of the rural landscape and inviting interior perfect for couples seeking a Scottish escape. Park up off-road and travel through the delightful courtyard, reaching The Stables. Step indoors and venture into the open-plan living space, where you can prepare meals for two, dine together over a bottle of wine, and cosy up after a long day of hiking and sightseeing. If the weather allows, spend your downtime in the enclosed garden, where you can dine alfresco with views of the stunning loch in the backdrop. The bathroom rests on the ground floor and offers a bath and shower over, ideal for freshening up after a long day of exploring. When the sky darkens, travel upstairs to the king-size bedroom where you can rest and rejuvenate, ahead of your busy itinerary. For your nearest hub of amenities, head to Heathhall, where you can stock up on the essentials and dine out at The Lochar Inn, along with touring the Dumfries & Galloway Aviation Museum. Further afield, the bustling town of Dumfries lies just a short drive away, where you can enjoy a range of attractions such as the Robert Burns Centre and the Dumfries Museum, as well as numerous pubs, restaurants, and shops; cross over Devorgilla Bridge, before enjoying a tipple alongside River Nith, enjoy a shopping trip at the Loreburne Shopping Centre, or revel in a night out at The Stove, a music and events venue. For further attractions, travel north and take in the grandeur of Drumlanrig Castle & Gardens, or Morton Castle, before returning home for sundowners. Make your stay one to remember in the tranquil Scottish countryside at The Stables.

Dalswinton is a small village in the Dumfries and Galloway region of southern Scotland and is located just seven miles north of the county town of Dumfries. The River Nith runs through Dalswinton and the village is also home to a couple of small lochs. On the opposite bank of the river is Charles Jencks magnificent Garden of Cosmic Speculation, which normally opens to the public on just one day of the year. Dumfries is known as the Queen of the South and has history dating back to Roman times. Today it is home to a wide range of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants, as well as a number of traditional festivals throughout the year. To the south of Dumfries is beautiful coastline leading to Gatehouse of Fleet and Newton Stewart, whilst the Galloway Forest Park is just an hour’s drive to the west. A wonderful location for discovering this magnificent region.
