Today, the current owners are decedents of the Balliols who once occupied and ruled this Royal burgh. The castle and its grounds are being restored and revitalised with respect to its medieval occupants, and its long history since Roland of Galloway fortified the site in stone 850 years ago. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Dining - Free breakfast available ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Wood stove ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69550000/69540700/69540616/7c0cea8a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Braesyde - a house that sleeps 10 guests in 4 bedrooms Dalbeattie - Sea view - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 3 reviews £1,427 includes taxes & fees 6 Oct - 7 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-06&endDate=2025-10-07&selected=69540616&PinnedHotelID=69540616&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96920000/96914700/96914700/d949b1cb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kirkcudbright Holiday Apartments - Apartment F Kirkcudbright - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 1 review £164 includes taxes & fees 31 Oct - 1 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-31&endDate=2025-11-01&selected=96914700&PinnedHotelID=96914700&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69550000/69540700/69540612/8a782284.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Arakhova - a house that sleeps 10 guests in 4 bedrooms Kirkcudbright - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=69540612&PinnedHotelID=69540612&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114100000/114094700/114094678/f2ae58d1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Balcary Tower Castle Douglas - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Parking included £2,107 includes taxes & fees 7 Oct - 8 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-07&endDate=2025-10-08&selected=114094678&PinnedHotelID=114094678&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119620000/119616500/119616458/4c39a93b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Castle Douglas Castle Douglas - Kitchen - Outdoor space - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=119616458&PinnedHotelID=119616458&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111560000/111556300/111556201/fbe518b6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Durhamhill Coach House - llamas, games room/mini cinema, sidecar & fun Castle Douglas - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=111556201&PinnedHotelID=111556201&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/106000000/105993400/105993394/46355bdf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful house on private estate with hot tub, nature and adventure.

The castle grounds have a fruit trees, herbs and vegetables. Tobias is truly a wonderful gentleman and host. He prepared an amazing breakfast both mornings which consisted of local flavors ( haggis, blood pudding, potato cakes, eggs, bacon and sausage). Tobias gave us a tour of the chapel and grand hall with interesting history. Baron James prepared a formal dinner which was also delicious. We are Maxwell descendants by DNA and name so the link to this castle is intriguing. ##### Carol G. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane Hydro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Dunblane-Hydro.h520461.Hotel-Information) > > [Claymore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-CLAYMORE-HOTEL.h57956439.Hotel-Information) > > [Marine Troon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Troon-Hotels-The-Marine-Hotel.h554927.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stirling Highland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-The-Stirling-Highland-Hotel.h558482.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont St Andrews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrews-Hotels-Fairmont-St-Andrews.h663479.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunkeld House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunkeld-Hotels-Dunkeld-House-Hotel.h520427.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Apex-City-Quay-Hotel-Spa.h897382.Hotel-Information) > > [Adamton Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prestwick-Hotels-Adamton-Country-House-Hotel.h3277768.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Dundee City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Dundee-City-Center.h15438290.Hotel-Information) > > [JA Mar Hall Scotland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bishopton-Hotels-Mar-Hall-Golf-Spa-Resort.h1077249.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Long Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Loch-Long-Hotel.h16270964.Hotel-Information) > > [Fonab Castle Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-Fonab-Castle-Hotel-Spa.h5991409.Hotel-Information) > > [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcaldy-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h4482159.Hotel-Information) > > [The George Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inveraray-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h24458716.Hotel-Information) > > [Inglewood House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alloa-Hotels-Inglewood-House-And-Spa.h12709295.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-William-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Hotel.h13407571.Hotel-Information) > > [Glynhill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Renfrew-Hotels-Glynhill-Hotel.h868692.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Glasgow-Airport.h519994.Hotel-Information) > > [Moness Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-Moness-Resort.h2955414.Hotel-Information) > > [The Great Western Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-The-Great-Western-Hotel.h13407325.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-The-Pitlochry-Hydro-Hotel.h1854094.Hotel-Information) > > [Dakota Eurocentral](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Dakota-Eurocentral.h1516635.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waverley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melrose-Hotels-The-Waverley-Castle-Hotel.h13431010.Hotel-Information) > > [Cameron House on Loch Lomond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Cameron-House-On-Loch-Lomond.h980306.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Duchally Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auchterarder-Hotels-CLC-Duchally-Country-Estate-Hotel-Resort.h79023.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Irvine-Hotels-Riverside-Lodge-Hotel.h8519.Hotel-Information) > > [Arrochar Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Arrochar-Hotel.h1423391.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Strathclyde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bellshill-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Glasgow-Strathclyde.h520473.Hotel-Information)
