Had a great stay. We were met by Karen when we first arrived, she (like all the staff) was very friendly and couldn't do enough to help. We had a lovely meal and the breakfast was also delicious. Room was perfectly clean and tidy. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely and cosy getaway
We had a wonderful week at Kenmure Kennels walking the trails, gathering around the table and enjoying the cosy fire. The house is well equipped for a group and feels like a loving home, not a characterless rental.

Restaurants can be busy at weekends so consider booking. Ospreys at Threave Castle must see. Red kite viewing at Bellymack Farm also essential. Loch Arthur farm shop and cafe great for lunch or coffee break.
