Marwhin House Kirkpatrick Durham

Marwhin House is on a 3000-acre estate near Kirkpatrick Durham. It's detached, so it's on its own. You're up a private drive. The views are the main thing. You look out over the Galloway Hills towards the Solway Firth. On a clear day you can see the hills over in Cumbria.

It sleeps six. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms. That's handy. It's got a 4 Star rating, so things are comfortable and in good order.

There's a stream and a pond in the garden. You can hear the water from the house. There's a patio and garden to yourselves, plus a barbecue. Inside, there's a woodburning stove for the cooler evenings. All the bedding and towels are provided. There's a washing machine, a TV, and parking.

You can bring one well-behaved dog. We provide a cot and a highchair if you need them.
