The Urr Valley Country House Hotel

Frommer's Review

Reached by a long drive, this country hotel in the scenic Urr Valley is set amid 5.6 hectares (14 acres) of lush woodlands and gardens, 1.6km (1 mile) east of the center of Castle Douglas. You're welcomed into a real Scottish macho atmosphere of stag heads and antique rods and reels, along with paneled walls and log-burning fireplaces. Most of the guest rooms are spacious; a few have four-poster beds and others are designed for families.

You can have a drink or enjoy a pub meal in the lounge and bar. In the main restaurant, both French and Scottish cuisine are served, with an emphasis on fresh seafood and local produce such as pheasant and Solway salmon. Dare you try the regional specialty, Scottish haggis?
