Stableyard Studio

Thornhill sits in the heart of Dumfries and Galloway, a landscape of moorland, river valleys and estates. Stableyard Studio occupies converted stone buildings within the grounds of Drumlanrig Castle, a 17th-century fortress surrounded by 90,000 acres of parkland. The location puts you minutes from formal gardens, woodland trails and the River Nith, with the Solway Coast within reach for a day out.

The studio is a single open-plan space on the first floor: living area with Freeview TV and Netflix, a kitchen with electric oven and hob, and a bedroom with a kingsize bed. The shower room has a cubicle shower. Oil central heating keeps things warm; essentials including electricity, bed linen, towels and wi-fi are covered. There's private parking for two cars and a bike store if you want to explore the estate's mountain biking trails or quieter paths on foot. One dog stays free.

The studio suits couples after countryside peace, or anyone wanting to base themselves for exploring the area. Caerlaverock Wetland Centre, sandy beaches and the dramatic Solway cliffs are within an easy drive. No smoking inside the property.
