With your own private river frontage and small river beach for you to enjoy picnics in the shade of the Chestnut trees. Riverside HotTub and ample garden space for everyone. Enjoy making a pizza in the log burning oven and watch the deer cross each morning. Bonshaw Grange offers all this and more to use as a base for your Gretna wedding or your relaxing vacation. The space Bonshaw Grange is built on the Bonshaw Estate where you can find Bonshaw Tower, the seat of the Irving family for nearly 900 years. A magnificent example of a Scottish Border Peel Tower built in the 16th Century, remaining largely unaltered to the present day. NEW! - We can now offer 2 night Stays, please send us a message in advance, if you would like to book a 2 night stay. For videos of Bonshaw Grange, please visit our facebook page. It is a largely open plan property with an eclectic feel to the interior design. You'll feel at home immediately and once you eyes have settled, you'll be drawn to the Kirtle River. There are uninterupped, private views from every rear window as well as the master balcony. The back top garden benefits from a circular pond which leads down to your very own Hot Tub, right by the river. You can relax with a glass of wine in the unbreakable glassware provided. The Siematic kitchen has a huge window looking over the top garden and a door with access to the verandah. It has Neff appliances, including two ovens, a steamer (great for proving your pizza dough - more about that later) and an induction hob. The hot tap means a cup of tea is always on hand. There is a sage Nespresso coffee maker. If you're feeling adverturous, why not get the Philips Pasta maker down and give it a go. My favourite is to russle up some fresh gelato with the Ice cream maker. Each of the bedrooms at Bonshaw Grange has their very own personality, there's not a bad room! The first master shares the first floor with only the office space. It has it's own dressing room overlooking the front of the property but the jewel in the crown has to be it's balcony. Enjoy starry nights with very little light pollution and listen out for our resident owls. This is the only room in the house with air conditioning. The ensuite to the first master has a standalone bath as well as a bidet, a multi point shower, a double vanity with illuminated make up mirror and a hung toilet. There is underfloor heating controlled from the bedroom. There are usb phone charging sockets beside each bed. The second Master faces the front of the property and has a large mirrored wardrobe as well as matching bedside tables with reading lamps and usb ports for phone charging. The ensuite is spectacular, we have thrown everything at it. You will transported to another world by the Gucci wallpaper, the gilded ceiling and the copper roll top bath. The 3rd Bedroom is actually two adjoining rooms, to the front of the property, one has a kingsize bed with the other room having a small day bed suitable for a child. There is direct access to the main bathroom from the 3rd bedroom. Last but certainly not least, the 4th bedroom has some of the best views over the river through the french doors. It has a kingsize modern four posted bed with a tempur mattress. There is no wardrobe in this bedroom make it more spacious. The generous entrance hall opens into the open plan Great Room. There are two comfy sofas as well as two leather wing chairs around the famous Timothy Oulton propeller coffee table in front of the log burning fire. It's a great space for family get togethers and enjoys a 65" TV with surround sound. The dining space has a huge Timothy Oulton Georgian architechtural dining table made from wood reclaimed from disused buildings in the UK. Guest access The owners live with their 3 dogs on site in a caravan to the front parking area. We are out at work all day but available whenever you need general local advice or how to turn the hot tub on or how to get the best out of your stay at Bonshaw Grange. The dogs have their own exercise area, (the orchard) which is fenced off and are not left at the property on their own. Other things to note There is an outdoor kennel and run if you need this for your pet. Please advise us if you need this so we can ensure it is disinfected for the protection of your little one. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 3 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Accessible parking space - Hardwood flooring in public areas - In-room accessibility - Smooth flooring in public areas - Stair-free path to entrance - Tile flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - On a river - On the waterfront ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - 100% renewable energy - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Comprehensive recycling policy - Double-glazed windows - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Solar energy - Unit size: 2,691 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109790000/109788800/109788723/9eaae286.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful 5BR House near Gretna Green with Garden | Pass the Keys Kirkpatrick-Fleming - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-25&endDate=2025-10-26&selected=109788723&PinnedHotelID=109788723&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74750000/74741000/74740939/6f4bd1b6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Kings Arms Hotel Lockerbie - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant 8.6 Excellent 87 reviews £104 includes taxes & fees 1 Nov - 2 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-01&endDate=2025-11-02&selected=74740939&PinnedHotelID=74740939&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Garden](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/8000000/7030000/7029700/7029682/16ab5549.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Mill Forge Lockerbie - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant - Business services 9.0 Wonderful 239 reviews £116 includes taxes & fees 16 Oct - 17 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-16&endDate=2025-10-17&selected=7029682&PinnedHotelID=7029682&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![1 bedroom, free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89930000/89921000/89920966/e13ab2b6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Family room in the farmhouse, sleeping 4, breakfast included in onsite bistro close to beach Bowness-on-Solway - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Parking available £224 includes taxes & fees 12 Oct - 13 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=89920966&PinnedHotelID=89920966&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dishwasher, high chair, freezer](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/41000000/40740000/40738400/40738367/9bbece17.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3 bedroom accommodation in Ecclefechan, near Lockerbie Ecclefechan, near Lockerbie - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 9.6 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-25&endDate=2025-10-26&selected=40738367&PinnedHotelID=40738367&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114970000/114964300/114964296/38974d1a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cosy & spacious terraced house.

We had the most wonderful stay at Bonshaw Grange - Riverside Country Retreat to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday. From the moment we arrived, John and Dan went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. They had thoughtfully decorated the house for the occasion, which was such a lovely touch. The retreat itself is absolutely stunning—spacious, comfortable, and equipped with everything you could need for a relaxing getaway. The hot tub was a huge hit and the perfect way to unwind while soaking in the peaceful surroundings. John and Dan were exceptional hosts—warm, welcoming, and always available if we needed anything. They truly made us feel at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special milestone and would highly recommend Bonshaw Grange to anyone looking for a beautiful countryside escape. We’ll definitely be back! ##### Fiona H.
