The Old Servants Hall
The Old Servants’ Hall forms part of the ground floor in the west wing of Dunragit House, a beautiful Grade B former mansion house which dates from the late 17th century. The Old Servants’ Hall, which is accessed by a private entrance in the walled courtyard to the rear of the House, has been carefully restored over the last eighteen months. Reflecting the character of the original architecture, it features much of the quaintly irregular features including original doors and sash windows, servants’ bell box and areas of previously concealed tongue and groove panelling. With books throughout, the utility air of the original ‘understairs’ area has been overlaid with vintage textiles, carefully selected furniture, kitchenware, and 21st century facilities to ensure a feeling of splendour. The Old Servants’ Hall is beautifully warm and cosy and is delightfully decorated throughout with stripped wood floors, antique Turkish rugs, an eclectic mix of mid-20th century and antique furniture and sumptuous bed and bedding. Dunragit House has extensive gardens, and paths to the surrounding woodland, rich in Snowdrops and Bluebells in the Spring, which guests are welcome to enjoy.
The Old Servants’ Hall provides an excellent base from which to explore the relatively undiscovered Galloway. Glenwahn Gardens, described as one of the most beautiful newly made gardens in Scotland, is just a ten minute walk away. Contrasts are everywhere: delightful Port Patrick, the rocky drama of the Mull of Galloway; Wigton, Scotland’s book town; Inland lies Galloway Forest, the largest forest park in Britain. The Old Servants’ hall provides the ideal starting point for exploration of this beautiful area of Scotland. Maps and information leaflets may be perused by the wood burner. Beach 6¾ miles. Pub and restaurant 4 miles.
