Reviewed By Kirkcaldylad - North Lanarkshire, United Kingdom
We have been visiting Dumfries House since soon after HRH Prince Charles, the Duke of Rothesay, with a little help from others rescued the house, contents and estate for the nation. With each visit we are delighted to see how the restoration of the house has changed so that a tour (guided) is always newly enlightening as the guides are so informed and the restoration and development are painstaking and progressive. On this visit we thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas candlelit Festive Tour and Feast, a pleasant dinner in the library. The estate itself has also changed over our many visits . Gone are dilapidated outbuildings and muddy fields and a tumbled down walled garden. The Adam Georgian bridge is restored; a new Chinese style bridge based on early 20th century plans for such a bridge adds to the walks; the Queen Elizabeth Walled Garden is stunning. I could go on as so much has been built or restored using traditional skills by apprentices taught these skills on the estate as part of the Prince's Trust. The walks, the Arboretum and the new stone and wood buildings are an absolute pleasure on a wintry sunny day. And the Coach House Cafe is a welcoming place to relax.
