Cavens - Hotel in Dumfries & Galloway
Kirkbean, Dumfries, DG2 8AA, Dumfries & Galloway
Scotland,
Regno Unito
Leave the world behind you, take the road south from Dumfries, and soon you're rolling through lush country with hardly a soul in sight. Sunlight plays in the trees, ridges run down to fields, then suddenly you turn a corner and the Solway Firth is sparkling before your eyes. This comfortingly traditional small hotel offers a homely atmosphere in which to unwind and relax in peace.
Two sitting rooms have open fires, period art and lots of books, then doors onto a garden where only birdsong will disturb you. As for the rooms, three are huge, one has the feel of a library, and all have smart fabrics, super beds and garden views. Angus cooks delicious dinners from local ingredients – venison, beef, duck, today's catch from nearby waters, wine from the 18th-century cellar.
Start your day with local granola and a full Scottish, set out to explore Scotland's 'hidden' coastline with its stunning beaches and southerly views to the Lakes.
