Hotel of the Week: Cavens – Kirkbean, Dumfries & Galloway

Check out this week’s Hotel of the Week: Cavens – Kirkbean, Dumfries & Galloway…

A beautifully restored Georgian country house, Cavens was built in 1752 by the influential Oswald family and numbered Rabbie Burns among its most celebrated early visitors. With its idyllic location near the Solway Coast, warm hospitality from hands-on owners, Angus and Jane Fordyce, and wealth of original features, Cavens is unlike a typical luxury hotel. While it has the comfort and style of Scotland’s finest establishments, staying here is more like staying with friends.

Whether it’s the gleaming antiques or fresh ingredients for Angus’ outstanding locally-sourced dinners (three courses plus breakfast included in the room rate), everything has a personal, hand- picked feel. The elegant country-house sitting rooms are relaxed and inviting with roaring log fires, comfy sofas, table lamps, rugs and books. Nothing has been forgotten in the six bedrooms – Roberts radios, tea, coffee, home-made biscuits – all decorated with character and care. After 19 years, the Fordyces are exceptional hosts and in Cavens they’ve created a place to stay with soul.
