The Marks, which dates back to the 16th century, is reputed to be the dower house for McLellan's Castle in Kirkcudbright. The farmhouse, with log fires roaring in the Study and Drawing room, is set in a large rambling old world garden through which you are welcome to wander. Surroundings are tranquil and peaceful, nights are stunningly starlit.

In the farmhouse we offer Bed and Breakfast, with dinner in the evening if you wish, all good home cooking using our great local produce.

The bedrooms, either sumptuously spacious or benignly bijou, and pleasantly situated with views over the garden and Galloway countryside, are all comfortably furnished.
