Tails will be wagging when you bring your four-pawed friends to stay at this luxurious historic house. Set up to accommodate couples, friends or families, it's located on a 9,000-acre estate where you and your pals can stride out on all-day walks, returning in the evenings to bask by the wood burner.
Admire the impressive features of this five-star getaway, including the gatehouse's original stone gate wheel, on display in the lounge. This elegant room boasts panelled shutters, a wooden floor and a wood burner - perfect for relaxing on a chilly evening. There's a Smart TV, too, so once you've sunk into the sofas you can settle your pup and enjoy a favourite movie. The kitchen/diner includes a dining table for six, and an array of appliances including a microwave and a dishwasher. The fridge/freezer is located in the utility room - also handy for storing pet food. Completing the ground floor are a handsome double bedroom and a beautifully tiled family shower room. The remaining two bedrooms are upstairs, both decorated with great finesse - do bear in mind that they have areas of low, sloping ceilings. The double bedroom boasts an en-suite with a free-standing bath, while the twin has a curved window seat that's perfect for curling up with a book. The lawned garden includes a patio where you can dine in the fresh air as your hounds enjoy themselves. The property has private parking for several cars.
Take the lead and explore woodland, riverside and rural trails all around, or head to the Solway Firth coast, 7 miles, for a brisk coastal walk. At the medieval Caerlaverock Castle, 13.5 miles (hounds allowed in unroofed areas on leads) you'll encounter fascinating history, or there's shopping in the market towns of Annan, Lockerbie and Dumfries, all within 14 miles.
