Warm and welcoming ex-farm-house dating from 1540, situated peacefully but conveniently 15 minutes north of Dumfries. One double and one twin bedroom, both with private facilities.Guests have exclusive use of a cosy sitting room. Full Scottish breakfasts served in the atmospheric dining room with wonderful views of the surrounding hills and well-frequented bird-feeder. Two new holiday cottages are across the court-yard, each sleeping up to four and offering glorious views from the patio area. Walks and cycling from the door and comfortable beds to relax and recover in. Only two miles from the excellent Auldgirth Inn, where the welcome is warm and the food delicious.

Superb and peaceful B&B in beautiful surroundings
My sister and I spent two nights at this lovely B&B - we had a double and a twin room - both very nice and very comfortable, and we shared a huge bathroom (although there is another bathroom available). The house is situated in beautiful countryside and we loved all the wildlife…

Superb self catering cottage
We had a really lovely week in Swallow Cottage. Sarah and Steve made us so welcome and could not do enough to advise and suggest places to visit but were not at all intrusive. Delicious scones and home made jam were waiting for us on arrival. The cottage was immaculately clean…

Relaxed, peaceful and informative B&B

Idyllic self-catering
Our first visit to Swallow cottage. Steve and Sarah were so friendly and have worked hard to provide some of the best self catering we have ever stayed in. Immaculate, very well equipped and extra touches such as a vase of fresh wild flowers, home baked scones and jam made it…

Hi there. I'm researching a relative from the area called Mary McMurdo born around 1710 and married to a James McCubbin born around 1710. They're both buried in Dunscore. I'm interested in finding any relatives and researching McMurdoston in case she is associated with this line of McMurdos. Do you have any historical data or research about the original owners and families during those times? I'd be very grateful for any bits of info to help me on my search. I don't have any details on her at all apart from she died 2 Nov 1785 and had 4 boys and poss one daughter with James McCubbin. Nothing on her ancestors or siblings. There are some born around that time in the area but I don't have any linking connections. Many thanks Jenni
The house was originally owned by John Murdo in 1565 and there is a reference to John M'Murdie in Makmurdieston in 1602. I have no idea of any Mary McMurdo but by 1735 there was a Margaret McMurdo here married to John McKinnel. I have limited information but for any more please get in touch via our website. Thanks - Sarah

"We stayed in Swallow Cottage and not the Bed and Breakfast."
"This is not a hotel - it is a self-catering cottage."
"All good!-Fantastic bathroom and cosy lounge."
"This is not a hotel it is one of two self catering cottages and is excellent all round"
"Choose Swallow cottage as it has better views of the local wildlife."
