The Stables

We had a very nice short break at the Stables and couldn't fault anything wrong with the accommodation it was clean, comfortable and very tastefully decorated with the many paint prints on the walls .

Stepping out of the door and you are instantly into beautiful scenic walking areas (literally) which we took full advantage of as well as visits to further afield attractions of the local area. An ideal place to stay if you want peace and quiet and would like to thank the Owner for the very friendly welcome and kind words we received.

This is our second stay at the stables we loved it , we couldn’t fault anything, we enjoyed the walks in the mornings, and enjoyed exploring the area

This was our fifth time going back to the Stables at Dalswinton Estate.

The best description I can give it is like going to visit and stay at a very close and familiar friends. The estate and the Stables encourage you to relax be comfortable and enjoy somewhere really special. Really looking forward to our next visit.

This was our second stay at The Stables and it won't be our last!

Turning off the road into the estate gives a grand welcome. The Stables is well kept and tastefully decorated. The owner came to greet us and was very helpful. We used the stay as a base to tour the area and when back at The Stables to rest and recuperate. The surroundings are beautiful and the loch well worth the walk around. The ambiance of the cottage is very peaceful, and the view from the garden across to the loch restful and entertaining with hares and deer in the field, overall a little gem of a place.

Absolutely loved our stay and would have added another night of two if we'd been able to!

Excellent accommodation in excellent location.

The property is very tastefully furnished and everything is provided for a very comfortable stay. With tea/coffee, shower gel & shampoo & very good quality bedding and towels provided, it sometimes felt as if you were staying in an hotel. There are lovely walks all around, lots of birds in the garden and ducks, a heron & at times geese frequent the loch.

We have just come back from another fantastic stay in the Stables cottage.

Dalswinton Estate is a Beautiful location and the cottage is so homely and comfortable, so much so that we have booked up for another week in June.

Fabulous stay if you're looking for peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings.

Good base for visiting the many places of interest in the area. Can recommend Dumfries Museum and Gracefield Arts Centre, both free. And the Arts Centre has a lovely cafe. The accomodation is faultless. Having stayed both here and at The Mews I would not hesitate to recommend. Looking forward to future stays ♡♡♡

5 STAR .

The accommodation was great - everything was clean and tidy when we arrived and there was everything we needed for a relaxing stay.

The location was wonderful, with plenty of local walks available around the extensive grounds. It was easy to find and has plenty of parking. The wifi signal is brilliant throughout the property and as good as I have at home. Highly recommended!

Owner was friendly and helpful, accommodation was very clean and as described.

Happy with the equipment provided especially with the presence of a dishwasher which was not listed on the facilities provided. Some problems with insufficient tea spoons which were provided very quickly and no pans for cooking. Impressed that new ones were provided the following day, suspect that these had been removed by some previous occupants in the past. Bed was very comfortable but the sofa was not, though this was most likely due to having back strain before arrival! We had a good holiday here with plenty of places to visit locally, and would definitely recommend this as an ideal place to stay and would certainly consider staying again.

First class accommodation set in scenic, tranquil surroundings.

Plenty of places to walk both from the cottage and further afield with a variety of castles and others attractions within an hour's drive. Thank you Sarah for making us so welcome. Hope to be back again before long.

We had a lovely stay, the property had everything we needed, and lovely to be able to walk on the estate which is immaculate.

Just a short drive to Dumfries, which was handy. Sarah was lovely, and great to know she was on hand if we needed her. Hope to return soon!

My wife and I spent a very enjoyable time at The Stables.

Its location was wonderful being situated in the grounds of a country house. The walks were very restful, an ideal location in which to spend our wedding anniversary. The Stables was very comfortable, tastefully decorated, clean with a sense of peace permeating through the property. The four hares running around the field to the rear of the house was an added bonus. I have no hesitation in recommending The Stables.

A wonderful stay at the Stables!

We stayed with our 18 month old son who loved staying on the estate and seeing the cows out of the back every morning. Thank you Sarah - the place was immaculate and so cosy and comfortable. We will definitely be recommending to friends and family.

Fantastic place,better than pictures.

lovely apartment.

Wonderful location to explore the area.

Not impressed with Dumfries area seems run down. Cottage wonderful all you need for self catering. Lovely estate to bee on for walking and views around the cottage. Have nothing but good reviews regarding cottage and area. Sarah was helpful with any questions and a lovely warm welcome from her.

A very comfortable, well appointed cottage that suited us very well.

Quiet location with an approximate 15 minutes drive to Dumfries. Nice local walks. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful little cottage.

Surrounding views beautiful. Very quiet and peaceful.

We found the property to be very comfortable, and beautifully presented with all of the facilities we'd need.

It is a very safe area. The garden is lovely to sit in for breakfast, and faces towards the loch. The shed was perfect for storing our 2 bikes. Great location and ideal for visiting the 7 Stanes, as we did. Would recommend and would visit again.

An excellent cottage, especially the little garden, and so nice to meet Sarah again.

Sadly we couldn't find the bin for empty bottles on leaving and it was really helpful to have the little night lights with the bathroom downstairs.

We love coming here.

The flat is so well equipped and comfortable. Beautiful surroundings and very peaceful.

Absolutely beautiful rural location with access to the lochs & surrounds as well as having it's own private garden.

The owner is very friendly & helpful. The apartment is spotlessly clean & well appointed with everything you could possibly need. The bed was very comfortable & I appreciated the lovely bird paintings.

Would highly recommend, it was quite but within easy driving distance of Dumfries and surrounding area.

the owner was friendly and very helpful,the perfect holiday.

The Stables is a well appointed accommodation guaranteeing a few days stay of comfort and relaxation.

The residents in the area are so friendly and welcoming and the ability to walk around the 5000 acre estate, which includes loughs, woodland, hillside, river banks, grazing land, wildlife and interesting history only adds to the relaxing time enjoyed here. From the point of view of a visitor to the wider area, there are plenty of local attractions with which to acquaint yourself.

A beautiful converted cottage within a fabulous estate.

The entrance to the estate gives you a glimpse of what is to come - beautiful manicured grounds with a loch and converted stables with clock tower. The cottage itself was perfectly clean has everything you need and more. The quality and comfort has been well thought out. The owner came to greet us and this was much appreciated. A very relaxing week in beautiful surroundings. Thank you Sarah and team.

We can only describe this accommodation as an absolute gem.

Set within the grounds of a beautiful well managed country estate, the Stables flat is spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable and a very pleasant property. Sarah (the owner) welcomed us on our arrival and provided us with the information regarding the facilities both in the accommodation, the estate, and the local area. The flat equipped with everything we needed to have a really relaxed and cosy time, with glorious walks in the grounds to add "icing on the cake". We enjoyed ourselves so much that on arrival back home we booked to go back to The Stables for our anniversary in November.

Very pleasant experience , peaceful location A relaxing venue

Oh my what a lovely property.

We enjoyed staying . The place was immaculate. So peaceful. Thank you

Thank you Sarah, the Stables and Dalswinton estate is a very special place to stay.

Friendly people, gorgeous estate to wander around, beautiful apartment, beautiful surroundings, excellent coffee shop in Dalswinton, yoga in the Village Hall, and convenient location for getting to many other places. I had a fabulous stay and hope to return next year.

Amazing spot really enjoyable holiday

Nice peaceful place to stay, calm and tranquil a very nice place to unwind.

This cottage was a lovely place to stay.

Plenty of walks and bike rides in the area directly from the cottage. The owner came to make sure we were settled in and was very friendly. The cottage itself was very tastefully decorated, comfortable and warm. All you needed in the kitchen. It was quiet and on-site parking. Perfect
