Beautiful grounds, perfect guest house. We stayed in Duck Pond Cottage on the property and it was perfect. Quiet, clean, beautiful inside and out. The inn keeper Richard was very available to us. It was very easy accessing the castle and getting into our cottage. It was picture perfect with all the amenities we needed. I would highly recommend it.

Lovely place with so much to do in the local area, particularly for kids. We stayed in the coach house which was very pleasant and comfortable. Our only suggestion would be to supply a bit more cutlery. We loved the quiet surroundings and beautiful scenery. We would recommend visiting Culzean Castle and Dumfries House for the lovely architecture and gardens (both have great play areas for children). The kids loved Heads of Ayr play farm and we did a day trip to Arran which was beautiful (book the ferry in advance!). We also enjoyed visiting the Red Kite feeding station near Castle Douglas and the Cocoa Bean chocolate factory, although again this was a bit of a drive. Beautiful walks and cycling all around. Hopefully we'll be back!

We spent a great week based in one of the holiday cottages in the castle grounds. It's a very peaceful spot, the grounds are lovely and we even saw a couple of deer on the estate. Close to Kirkmichael village (great pub and food) and the Galloway Forest park for super cycling and walking.

We stayed in the Stables Cottage one of nine converted old buildings underfloor heating, log fire, full kitchen, laundry room, 2 double rooms en suite, big lounge big panoramic windows, very comfortable,

Stayed as part of our honeymoon road trip. The place was lovely and well equipped, we walked round the grounds and it was well kept. The places was dog friendly and great for our dog. The first night there were alot of moths and midges due to being near a lovely stream so i'd suggest to keep windows and doors shut which we did and the 2nd night there wasn't any. Would recommend staying here
