Mark & Julie Joseph
In 2022 the Stables conversion was lovingly completed. It is now an eco-home with a focus on sustainability. During the conversion special attention has been paid to recycling and reusing materials, limiting our impact on the environment. The underfloor heating is from a biomass source and the solar panels on the roof help to provide power in a move towards a more sustainable future. Our beautiful wooden window seats, made from a windblown tree which fell nearby, has a low environmental impact. The three en-suite bedrooms can be either double or twin for flexibility. The open plan kitchen living room is perfect for entertaining and the fire will keep you warm on a chilly night while the separate snug room is ideal for a film night. Each bedroom has it’s own terrace overlooking the family vegetable garden while the wood-burning hot tub makes for a lovely end to a busy day and budding chefs can hone their skills on the gas barbecue.
After working with young people for many years, your hosts Mark and Julie know how important it is to create a peaceful eco-friendly environment for future generations. Mark and Julie are delighted to welcome you to their peaceful haven following the restoration of the old stables in 2022. The Manse, their family home, is thought to be on the site of a medieval monastery and Mark and Julie have created a haven of tranquility in the gardens with wild flower meadows, abundant birdlife and a beautiful pond.
Scotland starts in Dumfries and Galloway a beautiful rural area of South Scotland. From wild forests and rocky shorelines and sandy beaches there is a huge variety to see and do. If you have a thirst for adventure, you can enjoy some of Scotland’s best mountain bike trails, home to the 7Stanes with Dalbeattie, Mabie and Forest of Ae in the area. Serious walkers can enjoy the 212 mile Southern Upland Way, a coast to coast route from Portpatrick in the West to Cockburnspath in the East. For something more leisurely take a stroll along the River Nith. Learn about Scottish art and culture on the Dumfries Art Trail or visit the former home of Robert Burn, Ellisland Farm, one of the leading attractions in Dumfries dedicated to Scotland’s national poet. Soak up Scotland’s history at one of the majestic castles such as Drumlanrig or Threave or explore the magnificent Caerlaverock Castle and national nature reserve, a haven for migrating birds. Whisky lovers can visit the Annandale Distillery while the whole family can enjoy the delights of nearby Drumuir Ice Cream shop.
