A trip to Scotland is a magical experience, with so much to see, do and explore. The Borders, Dumfries and Galloway areas are particularly special. Part of lowland Scotland with its rocky shoreline and sandy beaches on the one hand, and acres of forest and rolling green on the other.
A spa break in the Borders, Dumfries and Galloway provides opportunities for lots of different experiences. For those who enjoy the great outdoors and the tranquil beauty of nature, it’s a real treat. Walking, woodland trails, water sports and cycling are all readily available in the area, while arts and crafts, performing arts, literature and music festivals also abound.
History fans will delight in the likes of the 12th century Glenluce Abbey or Bruce’s Stone by Loch Trool. Families love Castle Kennedy Gardens and the Castle Douglas Treasure Hunt Trail, and romantic trips are complete with strolls along Loch Ken, Auchencairn Bay or to Southerness Lighthouse (the second oldest lighthouse in Scotland) on the Solway Firth.
This is a place for wildlife, walks, water and whisky, and spa breaks in and around the area make for the perfect setting in which to take it all in or head out and explore. Trigony House Hotel for example, is like stepping into the pages of a C.S. Lewis novel - a historic country house hotel with the Organic Boutique Garden Spa in the grounds. For those staying a little further afield, in the likes of Cumbria, exploring the Borders, Dumfries & Galloway is an excellent reason to extend your stay longer, resting at the likes of Appleby Manor Hotel & Garden Spa.
