"This was our second time staying at The Mews Flat and it was absolutely perfect for our fishing trip."
Great facilities, comfortable beds and excellent showers. Already looking at booking again for next year. Sarah is the perfect host, making sure that we wanted for nothing.

"Excellent facilities, coupled with a clean and tidy apartment."

"Amazing location and so private with many walks & fishing within the Estate … would definitely recommend a visit to Bloomen for delicious cake & coffee … we really enjoyed on our church/village walk."
Extremely welcoming & accommodation has it all including really good beds & top quality bedding & towels … we all slept well & were not expecting the ‘walled garden’ toiletries … additional quality extras. Very dog friendly & hose available to wash down … downstairs utility & wc/bootroom such a bonus! Loads of storage including two fridges & a freezer … what is there not to like … already looking at booking for next year.

"We are so lucky to have found this property, it is a hidden gem in the most exquisite grounds."
All of the staff made us feel so welcome. It is a perfect base for exploring Dumfries or simply relaxing in the flat itself. We loved it.
-
"We had a lovely stay at the Mews flat."
The accommodation is very spacious. Beds are very comfortable and the kitchen / lounge area is ideal for a family of 5 (plus a big dog). We thoroughly enjoyed the walks around the estate and venturing off to explore the local area. The owner was very friendly and helpful and we had everything we needed and more! If you’re looking to play golf I can recommend Thornhill, loch Maben and the County course in Dumfries. All were excellent.
-
"Welcoming comfortable apartment and the grounds were lovely."
We thoroughly enjoyed walking over the estate and watching the geese on the lake. Very peaceful.
-
"We had a wonderful stay at The Mews and hope to return again as our stay was far too short (2 nights)and we couldn’t do all the lovely walks on the Estate and in the area."
The Dalswinton Estate is extremely beautiful and the most lovely setting for a relaxing stay. The host, Mrs Sarah Landale was very helpful in replying to a query before we arrived and there were many brochures and informative maps of the area in the apartment.
-

"A super week at The Mews Flat, so comfortable and spacious with lovely big beds and quality cotton bedding; for us the peacefulness and access to the wonderful grounds made it a very special week all round, thank you."
-
"Perfect place for a family gathering."
Fabulous. Beautiful surroundings and plenty of walks. The café in the village was a lovely. Had a small issue with the showers being a bit chilly the first morning. Very quickly dealt with. There was everything you could wish for for a comfortable stay. A return visit already being discussed!
-

"Excellent accommodation located on a large estate, lovely countryside all around yet only a 15 minute drive into the centre of Dumfries."
Very comfortable and cosy with everything provided for a great stay. I would have no hesitation booking this accommodation again.
-
"Absolutely fabulous flat with everything 5 ageing men needed for a friends fishing trip."
Warm and comfy with excellent beds and furniture. Great kitchen and dining area and a drying room for our wet clothes and boots. Lovely welcome from Sarah, suffice to say we loved it so much that we have booked to come back in November.
-

-
"I cannot praise this accommodation and our personal experience at The Mews Flat highly enough."
We were a family of 4 adults and 3 children, plus we had visiting hairdressers and a make-up artist on the day of the wedding. There was stacks of room for us all, including extra people who were just visiting for hair and make-up appointments. The beds were supremely comfortable, as were the sofas in the sitting room. The kitchen was equipped with everything anyone could possibly need. In short: perfect.
-
"The Mews Flat is set up perfectly whether you are staying with pets or not."
There are many thoughtful touches and the ground floor is ideal to store and get rid of your outdoor gear, very useful in the rainy week we experienced. With great walks and gardens to enjoy and explore Dalswinton is a great location. Our host was very welcoming and made us feel very much at home, thank you!
-
"This was our third visit here and hopefully won't be our last."
The flat is of a high standard; the grounds are fabulous with lochs, forest walks and rolling hills and Sarah, the owner, is a most wonderful and obliging host.
-
"Was a great location to get away from it all, and spend some quality time with family."
all rooms were big ,clean and comfy. nice walk round the surrounding grounds and close to town centre for the shops ect
-
"Booked in for the night before my wedding, space to get bride and bridesmaids ready in the morning was perfect."
Would stay again ☺️
-
"We stay at the Mews Flat for 10 days, wasn’t long enough."
Everyone at Dalswinton Estate was so friendly. The property was so homely, everything provided, clean and comfortable. Definitely will be returning. Thank you
-
"We had a lovely time."
The property was comfortable with good amenities. It was very quiet. Beautiful country walks around the local area. A printed map with information was provided that took us along the River With and seeing one of the last flat packed churches in the UK! Our host was very friendly, accommodating and close by if we needed anything. An easy 15 minute drive into Dumfries. Especially enjoyed seeing the newborn calves, a definite bonus! A perfect get away.
-
"A lovely Appartment in a beautiful location."
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and very much appreciated all the extra touches which the hosts provided. We will definitely return.
-
"The flat, in a former stable building, was well laid out and equipped and in a quiet location."
Time constraints limited us to one full day, on which it rained, however during the stay we had really pleasant walk on the estate around the small loch and a drive into Dumfries and surrounding sites of interest. We can definitely recommend the property, it's location and the area.
-
"Second time we’ve stayed here and already booked again for next year."
We really enjoy the peace and tranquility of the surrounding area.
-
"The Mews Flat is fantastic, providing great facilities."
As a group of 6 gents in a fishing trip it is ideal. Each of the three bedrooms has twin or double beds, all have en suite facilities and the whole flat is clean, neat and tidy. I would highly recommend this accommodation to both families and singles. Also accepts dogs
-
"Excellent flat, wonderful surroundings, perfect weather."
Hope to return sometime.
-
"The Mews Flat was very spacious, comfortable, well equipped and suited our needs perfectly."
The location on a beautiful estate was good, having plenty of lovely walks to do in the area. We will have no hesitation recommending it to our friends for the perfect family reunion/vacation.
-
"This was our second visit here and it did not disappoint!"
This is an extremely comfortable apartment equipped with everything you could possibly need. The setting is positively idyllic on a country estate with the most beautiful walks from the front door. Thank you, Sarah, a perfectly charming host!

"We appreciated the standard of the kitchen equipment provided, so many holiday stays don’t provide sufficient pans or roasting dishes."
The flat was very comfortable and we loved the rural location.

"A lovely weekend."
Sarah was incredibly welcoming, and made sure everything was okay. The location is beautiful, the flat is well equipped and spotlessly clean, the beds are extremely comfortable, and we definitely want to come back! Would definitely recommend The Mews Flat to others.
-
"Lovely flat in a beautiful location, great local walks on the doorstep."
Accomodation & facilities excellent. Superb wedding venue in walled garden marquee, within easy walking distance. Easy 7 mile drive to Dumfries
-
"Excellent accommodation in a truly beautiful setting."
Friendly owner who had thought of everything we might need. We spent 3 whole days just enjoying the lovely estate walks. Altogether we had a wonderful time and hope to return one day. Would highly recommend.
-
"Excellent host and accomodation."
Super setting and environment, ie private estate. Presented in a spotlessly clean, neat, warm and most comfortable way. Accomodation is however on two levels in former stable block with other residents and business (not an issue). Primary living space is on the first floor so there is possibly some restriction on access, which is up staircase. Ideal spot and location for outdoor sport enthusiast - even has shower room for pets! Planning to visit again.
-
"This was my thirteen or fourteenth stay at the Mews and I love it."
It is very clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The owners are also very friendly and helpful. I hope to return again sometime soon. Ivan Leggett.
-
"The Mews was amazing."
The peace and tranquillity was just what we needed. We could walk the dog all around the estate and down by the river. If she got mucky we could put her in the downstairs washroom and they even provided a towel to rub her down. All the rooms were great. I would definitely like to visit again.
-
"We had a great time, we were out all day fishing, and came back very tired each evening to the Mews Flat."
Three spacious bedrooms with crisp clean bedlinen and towels in the en suite. Comfy sofas and a smart tv to watch. A well equipped kitchen and a good drying room, it eve has a shower for your dog. Great place, have already booked for next year.
-
"The flat is in a very quiet location with lots of opportunities for exploring the countryside."
The flat itself is of the highest order re. cleanliness and with what is provided in terms of utensils, tea,coffee etc and cleaning supplies as well as equipment in the property such as 2 fridges, freezer, laundry room. The decor is lovely throughout and beds, sofas etc so comfortable .Seating / dining area is roomy. We got a very warm welcome from the owner who assured us that any requirements just had to be asked for.
-
"The accommodation was excellent: clean, spacious, comfortable, interesting."
The grounds, or should I say estate, were beautiful and extremely well cared for. The welcome was warm, from owner, neighbours, workers and locoals alike. The location was idea for us.
-
"The flat was so spacious, extremly comfortable, wonderful location."
the best Sykes holiday let we have been in.
-
"The Landales had thought of everything."
-
"My recent stay at The MEWS, DALSWINTON, was my 11th."
or 12th. week there....all fishing related. From an angling point of view it is a real shame that YOU now let the property Friday to Friday and not Sunday to Sunday as it always used to be. In Scotland it is illegal to fish for salmon on a Sundays so we effectively lost a salmon fishing day. Previously we would travel to and from THE MEWS on a Sunday and enjoy a full 6 days salmon fishing. I feel that future salmon fishing folk would MUCH prefer a Sunday to Sunday let. THE MEWS was as good as it ever was. My last visit here was about 3 years ago.
-
"The apartment was so comfortable, spacious and well equipped."
It was set in breath taking scenery perfect for walks straight from the door. We were made very welcome by the owners on arrival.
-
"The accommodation was a lot bigger than anticipated which meant there was plenty of room for my husband, daughter, 2 grandchildren and myself."
There was a beautiful dinner service and all the utensils needed. Sarah was very helpful and even supplied a bbq. We had a wonderful holiday.
-
"Excellent facilities and location."
-
"An absolutely stunning venue with exceptional hosts, could not have been more welcoming or accommodating, what an amazing place to spend the night before my wedding with my bridal party and then to finish the night with my groom, all the extra effort made for us was very much appreciated, thank you!"
-
"The mews flat was really excellent and much more spacious than it appeared in the pictures."
Our six man fishing group had plenty of room and the excellent hallway/drying room was what we always hope for but rarely see. It was attractive and V comfortable with what seemed to be limitless hot water, top marks all round. If we fish again in the area, we'll be back!!
-
"We often look for special places to stay and this ticked all the boxes."
A warm welcome to a mews flat on a Scottish Estate led to a delightful stay that included several walks around the lochs and through the woods straight from the front door. The flat was beautiful and comfortable and the neighbours were welcoming.
-
"My clients and I had a fantastic week, the facilities are excellent to say the least."
Immaculately clean, very spacious and everything that we needed for the week. A quite retreat in beautiful surroundings allowing us to relax, sit back and escape for a while. I would highly recommend Mews Cottage at Dalswinton, I will be booking a few more weeks this year. Excellent.
-
"The peace and quiet of the area was amazing."
Good variety of birds for those who like bird watching. The whole area is lovely and lots to do and see especially for walkers. The roads are almost traffic free apart from round Dumfries itself. Plenty of historical sites and Scottish National Trust properties to explore. At the time of writing this I would say beware the pot holes when driving. Even the main roads have them!!
-
"Very clean flat, extensive and beautiful grounds to the estate, very friendly owners"
-
"The Mews flat is in a beautiful location on an estate with a lake and many places to walk which makes for a peaceful relaxing break."
It is however within a short driving distance of local towns and villages.
-
"Delightful apartment, very clean and comfortable, set in a beautiful peaceful country estate."
Would highly recommend The Mews Flat for anyone looking for an away-from-it-all break.

The owners and the locals made us feel very welcome indeed. Would love to go back and spend more time exploring the local area.
-
"Beautiful property in stunning surroundings."
Wonderful for adults and little children

About the location
DALSWINTON
Dumfries 7 miles.
Dalswinton is a small village in the Dumfries and Galloway region of southern Scotland and is located just seven miles north of the county town of Dumfries. The River Nith runs through Dalswinton and the village is also home to a couple of small lochs. On the opposite bank of the river is Charles Jencks magnificent Garden of Cosmic Speculation, which normally opens to the public on just one day of the year. Dumfries is known as the Queen of the South and has history dating back to Roman times. Today it is home to a wide range of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants, as well as a number of traditional festivals throughout the year. To the south of Dumfries is beautiful coastline leading to Gatehouse of Fleet and Newton Stewart, whilst the Galloway Forest Park is just an hour’s drive to the west. A wonderful location for discovering this magnificent region.
