McMurdoston House
Conveniently and peacefully situated between Dumfries (15 minutes) and Thornhill (20 minutes), McMurdoston House offers comfortable, warm and welcoming self catering accommodation for visitors to this lovely, but largely undiscovered, area of Dumfries & Galloway in Scotland.
Originally dating from 1540 our historic ex-farmhouse was extended in 1922 and provides a perfect get-away from the hustle and bustle of the 21st century.
Open all year round, McMurdoston is a paradise for wildlife and our main aim is to offer a haven for our human visitors too. We have two converted self-catering cottages, each capable of sleeping four, and ideal as bases from which to explore the area.
Take a glance at our Things to Do page for some idea of the enormous scope Dumfries and Galloway offers to visitors, however long or short your stay.
Come and experience the peace, the views, the wonderful wildlife and the genuine welcome you’ll receive at McMurdoston.
Other information:-
Wi-Fi is now available in both Swift and Swallow Cottages. Although this is reasonably reliable, given our location, it’s perhaps not as speedy as you may be used to.
We have three cats at McMurdoston – Tabs, Nelson and Samsmith – hence our decision not to accept dogs. The cats are restricted to our own private areas in the house and not allowed in the cottages, but please be warned if you have any severe allergies.
Smoking is strictly forbidden in any of our buildings.
