Om boendet

The Munches Room at Buittle Castle, a Georgian Style Stay in a Medieval Castle

The Munches Room is carefully appointed in the Adam style, and connects guests to the Jacobite history of Buittle, former home of the Maxwells. The room is on the ground floor, with access to the courtyard (with one step) and its own ensuite bathroom with shower. Full Scottish or American breakfast is included. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are also available. Please let us know of any dietary requirements ahead of time. We aim to offer guests a true country house experience.

As part of our effort to reduce our environmental impact, gourmet tea and coffee are provided by the house manager upon request.

The site which the present tower occupies was once the inner bailey of the medieval Buittle Castle, one of Scotland's royal castles and twice capital of Scotland. Buittle was home to Lady Devorguilla of Galloway and the Bailliol Dynasty, and later a Jacobite stronghold of the Gordon and Maxwell families, who re-constructed the original 13th Century keep into the present L-plan tower, c.1500. Buittle Castle, unlike many such buildings, remains very much a working building, and so retains the 'feel' that these buildings had when first built, surrounded by formal gardens, livestock, vegetable growing and pleasure grounds. It is currently home to James, the 24th great grandson of Lady Devorguilla, and his cousin Tobias, who have re-acquired the castle after roughly 60 years of it being out of family ownership. The site is also home to a working printing office specialising in craft letterpress printing and bookbinding, and a medieval chapel, with an interesting Jacobite history, in which services are regularly celebrated in the pre-reformation Use of Sarum.

Due to COVID-19, the Hot Tub is temporarily closed.

Unique location

We really enjoyed staying in the unique rooms. It was quiet, the room was spacious, and the breakfast was delicious. The medieval building is secluded and has a special flair, both inside and out. The owner is approachable and helpful.

Fab stay which ended all too soon

Stayed for 3 nights but could have easily have stayed longer. Fab & unusual place to stay with great/attentive host, limited (but good) breakfast and hot tub. Would not hesitate to stay again.

Repeat visit

My husband and I regularly stay at this excellent property and appreciate being recognised and welcomed as returning visitors. The staff go well above what is necessary to provide for their guests and have never failed to fulfil any particular request we have made. The cooked Scottish breakfast is superb and the newly-available Viennese breakfast a fine addition to the choices. I also highly recommend the private dining experience in one of the castle's interesting historic rooms. The decanter of sherry in the room is a nice touch.

Brilliant Visit

We had a very comfortable two night stay at the Castle and enjoyed our time. Tobias made the visit special. He took the time to answer questions and provide recommendations about local activities. He answered all my questions about the gardens and genuinely helped me with my own project. He is the kindest person I have met in a very long time, and generous with his time and care. I will absolutely be staying again.

Quirky, in a good way!

Buittle Castle is a fascinating and beautiful place to stay. The owners James and Tobias are charming and full of information about the history of the place and it's restoration. The room we stayed in is decorated in medieval style but with all mod-cons so very comfortable. The gardens and grounds can be used by guests and we were lucky enough to have a warm spring evening to enjoy a glass of wine in the sunken garden! The peacock is spectacular! We had breakfast and dinner both of which were delicious. The Castle is very conveniently located for visiting Dalbeattie, local woodlands and the Solway coast. My only tiny criticism would be that the Great Hall where we ate was a little gloomy and chilly though the medieval decor almost made up for that!

Romantic Scottish castle stay ♥️

Stayed a night for Dinner, Bed and Breakfast and everything was so special! Decor of the room was exquisite and we had a lovely, atmospheric, romantic meal in the tower dining room! We felt so privileged Tobias let us dine in his home, he made the experience so personal from start to finish. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was lovely - hot and powerful! Gorgeous location, we did several good hikes around the area. All in all, a beautiful experience for a couple wanting to have a romantic night away in a unique setting.

Everything we expected

The stay here was everything we expected. The only issue was the weather but not much that could be done about that. The dinner was lovely and good value for money.

Fabulous Short Stay

We had a fabulous short stay at Buittle Castle. The setting is very tranquil and the room extremely comfortable. We woke to the sound of birdsong and were served a great Scottish breakfast. We just had time for a short riverside walk, all within the grounds, before heading for home. I would certainly recommend.

Absolutely lovely

We spent one night in the Munches Room and had breakfast in the Great Hall the following morning. Everything was perfect.

Wonderful stay at Buitille Castle.

A wonderful experience. Beautiful setting, peaceful and the most amazing room (The Munchies) Beautifully decorated and a wonderfully comfortable bed. The gardens are beautiful and lovely Riverside walk to take my two little dogs on. It was an amazing find and I will definitely be back.

Our Munchies room stay

We booked the munchies room initially due to it being all on the ground floor. My wife is disabled and this is something that we always look for. We were delighted that we came across Buittle Castle and would definitely stay there again. In the early evening we heard a strange sound from the courtyard. It turned out to be a beautiful Peacock walking past our door. That's not something you see every day The bed was extremely comfortable. The full cooked breakfast was fantastic. Our waitress brought breakfast to our room so my wife didn't need to worry about walking any distance. We can't fault the place. Beautiful surroundings, spotlessly clean, pleasant and welcoming host. No hesitation in recommending to others.

A short escape to Buittle.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in a lovely part of the world. The hot tub was bonus after a long day. Tobias was a wonderful host. Buittle is a most interesting place with interesting owners and we felt we had just scratched the surface so we will just have to make a return visit.

Another repeat visit

My husband and I have stayed in this wonderful accommodation annually for the past five years. It never lets us down, being comfortable, clean, welcoming and quiet. A pleasing newish addition are the tea and coffee-making facilities in each room. Breakfasts are a real treat and the personal service is exemplary, with nothing too much trouble for the host. There are so many interesting places to visit nearby or you may simply enjoy the peaceful garden and wider grounds. Highly recommended!

Perfect end to our tour

Idyllic spot with perfect weather. Hosts couldnt be more helpful throughout. Breakfast was extremely tasty, shower good and hot. Had a great splash in the hot tub with stunning views. The dogs enjoyed the riverside walk and were made very welcome. Couldn't fault our stay. Highly recommended 👍😊

Excellent and very different place to stay.

An excellent place to stay. Very different. Great hosts, buildings and gardens. Superb food. Very comfortable. Ample car parking. Solitary and restful location, but close to ammeneties in nearby Dalbeattie. Great internet connection, but no television. So, if you want to catch up on TV take your tablets. We will definitely return and have no hesitation recommending.

Timeless castle stay

We had the most amazing time staying at Buittle Castle. The room was simply gorgeous, with the lovely peacock wallpaper and charming antique paintings. The grounds that the castle is located on were just beautiful on our cool autumn day there. My favorite part had to be the sunken garden, which was wonderfully landscaped and would be a perfect place for an afternoon tea when the weather is warmer. James was extremely accommodating and very knowledgeable about the history of his family home. I should also mention that our Scottish breakfast in the castle great room was delicious, and we felt like we were part of a period piece. We loved our stay here and can't wait to come back for another season.

What a great find

What a great little find! We booked a one night stay for my birthday as we rarely get the chance to get away. Communication was excellent throughout and Tobias was very attentive and looked after us extremely well. The food was excellent. We had dinner in our room, we would have loved to have dinner in the hall but we were made aware of heating problems and accepted this. Breakfast was also very delicious. We had a dip in the hot tub which was lovely in the snow and extra towels were provided. The room was a little cold, and it was exceptionally cold outside, though. Maybe a few toiletries would be nice, but for the money Buitle Castle was excellent value for money.
