A Grade-II listed former stable in the middle of Dunskey Estate, this home is a truly glorious spot. The interior has been restored, but there are lots of features that date back to a century ago, including the wood panelling and fireplace. Elsewhere, there are furnishings in rich colours, antiques dotted about the rooms and a hand-painted mural in the bedroom, which all work together for a boutique feel. Outside, we are smitten with the charming cobbled courtyard with seating, potted plants and access to a private walled garden. Beyond the home's boundaries lies a wealth of natural attractions on the estate to discover, from two lochs and a pair of waterfalls to three beaches and plenty of walking routes along a stretch of craggy coastline. There's even a maze on the grounds if you have an afternoon going spare. The village of Portpatrick can be reached in twenty minutes on foot, as well.

About Dumfries & Galloway
With a landscape that inspired the poetry of Burns, rugged coast and crumbling castles, Dumfries and Galloway is the perfect spot for a wild Scottish break. The lowlands of Scotland may not have the same fame as the highlands, but you’ll still find heather-clad hillside rambles, cosy country pubs serving neeps and tatties, and quiet fishing villages dotting the coastline. Robert Burns spent most of his life in Dumfries, and...
