Country House Scotland - Chipperkyle
Scottish Country House Bed and Breakfast at its best. Set in 200 acres of farmland, this is an unusual house as it has no later additions and has the original washhouses,farmyard and 'doocot' at the back.The garden still has potential and the hens, cats, dogs, pet lambs and donkeys enjoy life here. Bedrooms have super comfortable beds and are light and sunny with wonderful views, good books and Tivoli radios. Many of our guests say how much they enjoy their stay without a television but if there is something you would like to watch do let us know. Bathrooms are warm and delicious.You are welcome to sit in the drawing room by the log fire where you will be offered tea and something homemade on arrival and find interesting books on gardening, art, Scottish history, places to visit and maps. Just through the arch is the dining room where, at a time to suit you, you will have breakfast carefully prepared from home-made and local ingredients eg. freshly-baked aga bread, oatcakes and porridge, black pudding and haggis for the brave, today's eggs and fish when they swim by!
Prepare yourself for an indulgent day out in this quiet, rural and varied part of Scotland where the roads are clear, parking is free and the people take time to stop and talk. There are historic towns, fantastic walks, great biking, wonderful wildlife, creative arts, moving music and swimmable beaches all set amidst stunning scenery willing to be painted. Willie and Catriona can point you in any direction your interests lie. You can eventually come home and relax by the fire, read, chat, walk up the hill following our wildlife route or even play tennis in the old kitchen garden.You really can have it all staying at Chipperkyle in Dumfries and Galloway.
Hosts
Catriona and Willie Dickson enjoy having guests to stay and think that a good welcome and making you feel at home is what it is all about. They have a wide range of interests. Catriona can direct you in the horticultural and artistic side of life and Willie the geographical, especially Scotland. They are keen to share what both the local area and Scotland have to offer. Why stay in impersonal Dumfries Hotels when all your wishes are preempted here?
