Scaurbridge
House
is a charming old rose stone manse set in a tranquil garden near the peaceful
rural village of Penpont, Thornhill, on the ancient pilgrim route of the
Scottish Kings, 4 miles from Drumlanrig
Castle, ancestral home of the Dukes of Buccleuch and Queensbury.
Tastefully
decorated and stylishly furnished with care and attention to detail and sleeeping up to 7 people, Elizabeth
Ann Hughes warmly welcomes you to this traditional Scottish country home in
which the discerning visitor is assured of the best of individual attention.
To prepare
her visitors for the day ahead, Elizabeth Ann offers a splendid full
cooked Scottish breakfast (such as locally smoked trout with creamy scrambled
eggs from very spoilt chickens!) and a wide choice of fruit, porridge, cereals,
yoghurt, breads, toast tea/coffee and herb teas. Plus a little sweetmeat-
usually hot scones fresh from the oven served with home-made jams and jellies.
Special dietary requirements can be catered for - preferably with advance
notice.
For those
who do not want to travel any further, Elizabeth Ann also offers Dinner. She
specializes in delicious home cooking using top quality local produce in
season. Galloway beef and lamb, local game, cheeses and honey, fresh fruit,
vegetables and herbs from the garden when available.
And if you
wish to take some time out to explore the area, the gentle hills and romantic
moors, peaceful woodlands and crystal clear rivers and streams make it the
perfect area for walking, cycling, bird watching, fishing and other countryside
pursuits to be found far from the cacophony of city life.
