If you like delving deep into history, soaking up the finest culture, exploring beautiful countryside – or adrenaline-fuelled mountain biking – you’ll love a day at Drumlanrig Castle, and now you can stay there too!
Having visited the castle and grounds a number of times as a kid - and loved it everytime! - having the opportunity to stay there was a dream come true! The East Wing was absolutely stunning - beautifully appointed and decorated - it was sheer luxury! The Castle and grounds were very quiet when we visited (October 2025) - and that just added to the thrill of feeling like we were the only people there! Exploring the grounds with the dog over the few days we stayed was just amazing, as the autumnal colours started to show - and the Gardens! WOW!!!
We.Will. Be. Back!!! A LOT!
A family get together to celebrate a big birthday made more special by the comfortable, well appointed cottage. Clean and bright with all mod cons and spotlessly clean. Hot tub was an added bonus and fun to stoke fire to heat it. Was a luxury to sit in the bubbles while taking in beautiful landscape. Family enjoyed a tour of castle with the very knowledgeable Stuart topped off with a roast beef dinner in cafe. Dogs were welcome and enjoyed the walks down the river. All in all a very special break. We will recommend to others.
This was our fourth visit to Drumlanrig and our second stay in Queensbury Cottage, we booked at short notice direct with Gillian who dealt with everything very efficiently in a friendly and professional manner. On arrival the cottage was very clean, warm and welcoming with everything we needed plus a very nice welcome basket.
Booking fishing with the team in the estate office got our break off to a good start plus the many great walks, of which we find new trails each time we come.
The property, secure garden and the entire estate is very dog friendly and a pleasure to visit together with m...more
We stayed at the laundry cottage got 3 nights with our family to celebrate a 60th birthday. The cottage is extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The decor is beautiful. We all made good use of the hot tub. There are plenty walks which are well sign posted and allow you to enjoy the amazing scenery. Would definitely recommend the Laundry cottage for a short break.
Cottage was like a luxury hotel, welcome pack was excellent. Comfortable, clean and well equipped. Access to all the castle grounds and walks was an added bonus ,also close to other attractions and amenities.
This was our first visit to Drumlanrig Castle and we were very pleased with every aspect of our stay. We will certainly consider a return to enjoy the hospitality provided.
