Chipperkyle

Second time we've been here. The house is surrounded by lush greenery, birdsong and a fantastic skyscape. The house is a gorgeous old Georgian country house but the greatest treasure is the patron, Willie. A highly intelligent and kind man who is a great host and cook. He is an integral part of the landscape and adds to the tranquillity of the whole place. Many of our family have also stayed there and we will again. You won't be disappointed.

We came to Chipperkyle, to have a bit of rest, enjoy being looked after, and investigate the local village, where my Great Granny had been born. What a wonderful time we had! We loved our bedroom, very comfy bed, and huge bathroom, a bath with a view, and big fluffy towels. Dinners were delicious, as was breakfast, all cooked with local ingredients by Willie, a very able chef, and extremely welcoming and friendly host. He had lots of knowledge and books about the local area, and was happy to chat and tell us lots of stories about his beautiful house and its history. We loved it all.Thank You!

Willie’s Chipperkyle exceeded my expectations. I loved the elegant Georgian manor house, decorated with family heirlooms. It was comfy, luxurious as well as characterful—a genuine home. The food was top notch. Amazing and filling breakfasts and dinners (latter on request). Willie was lovely—a fount of knowledge, warm and humorous. I would highly, highly recommend this place.

This grand, historic and tastefully presented farm house was a wonderful find on Sawday’s guide to Dumfries and Galloway. Willie the owner was a perfect and welcoming host and his advanced culinary skills demonstrated in the delicious dinner, a very comfortable nights sleep, a sumptuous locally sourced breakfast whilst enjoying the views of beautiful surrounding countryside all add to our unreserved recommendations to stay at Chipperkyle.
