What a beautiful country house! The hosts were so welcoming and helpful therefore making the stay so memorable. The rooms were large and, clean and comfortable and the breakfasts were excellent with plenty of variety. Evening meals were provided on request and were equally enjoyable. We would not hesitate in staying here in the future and would recommend to anyone.

We stayed here overnight following a driving trip around Scotland and absolutely fell in love with the place. It was simply the best place we stayed the entire trip. Holmhill is a beautiful house and it was an absolute treat to stay in such a lovely place. The setting is beautiful ... even on a grey April day! The rooms... More

Holmhill is simply a superb BnB. Very old 2 storey stone home beautifully restored by Stewart and Rosie with a gorgeous garden and views. The warm welcome(cup of coffee and home baking) is matched by the warmth of the house - central heating plus woodfire heaters in lounge and dining rooms plus underfloor heating in bathrooms. Great power shower, unlimited... More

This was our second visit to Holmhill and a chance for us to sample the luxury of the self catering cottage in the courtyard of Holmhill Country House. We had phoned on the off chance of a room and Rosie kindly offered the steading with breakfast in the main house. The welcome was as warm and personable as we remembered,... More

Rosie and Stewart gave us the warmest welcome on a rather cool evening. Log fire burning , tea /coffee and delicious homemade shortbread awaited on arrival. A very graciously furnished house with comfortable well equipped bedrooms boasting an interesting historical background. Lovely views over the Dumfriesshire countryside and well situated to visit Drumlanrig castle and other sites of interest. As... More

Lovely renovation, great beds and lovely peaceful courtyard location near to the beautiful main house. The rest of the family were in the main house where we were looked after by Rosie & Stewart. We had a really tasty dinner on the... More

We stayed at Holmhill for the second time this week and experienced the same lovely friendly warm atmosphere with big comfortable room, lots of hot water and a roaring wood burner in the spacious and elegant sitting room. The breakfast is substantial and tasty and Rosie and Stuart are in the right job ...... They make it all seem effortless!... More

We stayed as a family for 2 nights between Christmas and New Year. The cottage is bright, very clean and very comfortable. The cottage was a steading, is just behind the house, across the courtyard from the horses' stables and has a good (and always changing with the light and weather) view of trees, hills and the river. We walked... More

I have just spent a week at Holmhill enjoying Rosie and Stewart's wonderful hospitality. This is a beautiful place with fantastic bedrooms. I stayed in the Carlyle room which has a fabulous slipper bath in its large ensuite bathroom. There is a lovely guest lounge with a woodburner, and another woodburner in the dining room where I enjoyed delicious breakfasts... More
