  • Family-run site just off the M74, for handy stopovers or longer breaks
  • Within 15 minutes' drive of Gretna Green, Annan and Lockerbie
  • Almost four acres of grounds with gardens, play area and lawn areas
Stop off on journeys south – or further north – at Kirkconnel Hall Hotel, a family-run business in a 15th-century Dumfries and Galloway house with gorgeous grounds stretching out to almost four acres and made up of gardens, lawn areas, a play area and mature trees and shrubs. This south-west Scotland site (and its mass of greenery) is easily spotted from Junction 19 of the M74 on the edge of the country village of Ecclefechan. With access being so simple, it’s a popular place for short breaks and stopovers on longer journeys but is also ace for a longer hol exploring the Solway Firth surrounds. Coming from the south, Kirkconnel is half an hour from the city of Carlisle and, once in Scotland, Dumfries is 30 minutes west of the hotel; use the place as a base for checking out sights like the Famous Blacksmiths Shop of Gretna Green (where clandestine nuptials used to take place) 15 minutes' drive away. Got your own wedding to plan? This site hosts all sorts of events, from parties to business conferences, in a fancy building where Napoleon’s physician used to reside back in the 18th century (bet you didn't expect that one…). If you’re not putting on a party, sip beers at the bar, laze in the lounge or dine in the restaurant; alternatively, get food over in Lockerbie, 10 minutes’ drive away, the closest big town for restaurants and supplies. Other facilities on site include a wifi, a toilet block and a TV room. Pick-up from public transport’s available too – just get in touch on the booking form in advance.

Local attractions

Seeing as you're staying in Scotland, you might want to wander around a whisky distillery while on your trip – and you should do so in Annan (15 minutes' drive), where you can have a little look round a museum documenting the town's past while you’re in the area. For more history in this region that’s rich with it, travel to Carlyle's Birthplace (five minutes) to peer at the childhood home of the writer, or hike up to Repentance Tower at Hoddom Castle (10 minutes) – a nine-hole golf course is here as well, if you just so happen to have the clubs in the boot… The ruins of another castle are in Lochmaben (15 minutes) and there’s yet another old building – the 16th-century Gilnockie Tower house – in Langholm (half an hour) if you’ve still more appetite for admiring age-old architecture.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Everything, John came out to greet us on arrival (last minute booking). He showed us everywhere we could pitch up, told us the open and close times for the toilets. Extremely friendly people couldn't offer more of they tried. I met Angie and Babs. Everyone was so welcoming. Thank you all so much for a lovely stay! We will definitely be back.
