It really is a place you will want to spend time with family and friends chatting about your day’s activities in this delightful corner of Dumfries and Galloway.

The gardens are delightful and very private so you can enjoy time in the large hot tub looking out over the landscape, and in the evenings delight in the dark starry skies – total bliss!
Whilst Inverallan is in a lovely and peaceful rural location, you are ideally located to visit the surrounding area with its abundance of beautiful places to visit. Why not drive parts of the South West Coastal 300, a stunningly scenic 300-mile road trip around the South West of Scotland? The route can be joined at any point and passes near Inverallan and takes in magical coastal routes to rolling hills and forests.
The county town of Dumfries is just 4 miles away and provides a wide range of amenities, as well as many interesting historical sites including Burns House, the home of the famous Scottish poet, Robert Burns. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, this area has many beautiful gardens to visit, including Threave Gardens and Logan Botanic Gardens, Scotland’s most exotic garden.
The kids are well entertained in the area with farm and play parks, ice cream parlours, chocolate factories and much more. Almost on your doorstep there are some supreme mountain biking and challenging hill walks, and with some of the darkest skies in the world where better to end the day than at Inverallan.

We have just returned from a stunning & glorious week at 'Inverallan' . From the start of our stay we had a thoughtful welcome of treats of Homebaking & Chilled Prosecco with a personal note & contact from the owners. It made us feel right at home & at ease from the start. The Family have lovingly restored, renovated & extended Inverallan into a luxurious haven for weary travellers! Well equipped Kitchen, beautiful Dining, Comfortable Sofas, Relaxing Beds , quality towels & bedding, great Suntrap of a Patio & not to mention the FABulous Hot Tub! So much to mention & remember! It is clearly evident that Louise & Amanda have poured love into Inverallan & where they have put the comfort & enjoyment of their guests as priorty. A sterling job well done Ladies!. The surrounding area of Dumfries & Galloway is excellent for sight seeing & touring, Drumlanrigg Castle, Threave House & Gardens, Dumfries Aviation Museum, Caeverlock Castle, Logan Botanic Gardens & Portpatrick Village....to name a few!.....all stunning. Thank you again for the most amazing stay & helping us make lasting memories. Inverallan will always hold a ' special place' in our hearts. We cant wait to return! Best Wishes ,Phillip J. Fleming

Inverallan is a lovely property.The owners were friendly and on hand if you need anything during your stay.The welcome treats were well received after a long journey.It was like a home from home due to the available kitchen equipment, along with a good supply of handwash, etc to last through the stay.The property was very clean and well maintained.There is plenty of room to use across the open plan lounge, dining, kitchen due to the way the space is set out.Whether you are with family or friends you can be together or have a moment to yourself with a choice of comfy seating.There is easy access to the large private patio area via the double doors from the lounge.The bedrooms are all good sizes, with 3pin and USB charging ports available.On hot weather days the electric fans were very useful.The far reaching views are very relaxing to watch, with wildlife inc Kites flying through.It was nice having the friendly farm animals in the fields around the property.It's a good location to access places inc Dumfries, Threave garden, Dumfries house estate, Craigieburn, Drumlanrig gardens, along with waterfalls and walks.

An amazing cottage with high standard fitting and fixtures. As soon as you step through the door you are met by the warmth of the underfloor heating. You take a step into the kitchen where you are met by a lovely welcome pack which has been put together with love.The cottage just seems to go on and on and what amazing views surround it.A total privilege to be able to hire it.As for the host family what can I say ….. they are a lovely warm family and nothing is too much trouble.
