Penninghame is a hidden jewel nestled into the southwest corner of Scotland - a stunningly beautiful and often overlooked region whose temperate climate is cocooned by the Gulf Stream. Nestled into that environment sits an estate whose beautiful grounds abut the River Cree. The remarkably beautiful and well maintained buildings and grounds, including a magnificent walled garden, offer a tranquil respite from a day’s hiking, biking, fishing or relaxing in Dumfries and Galloway’s peerless countryside and coastline. And when you return to Penninghame you will be met by hosts whose peerless hospitality, friendliness and attention to detail will complete your day.

This has to be one of Scotland's most beautiful stately homes and best-kept heritage secrets with its sumptuous interiors and magnificent furnishings. This vast Estate will take you back to the 19th Century and all its glory. The grounds offer a wide range of walking and cycling options throughout the woodland fields and along the banks of the river Cree with 360* of breath taking views. There are also many local activities for both adults and children alike.

Excellent location, fantastic to be able to walk round the estate, plenty forest walks on the doorstep. Stayed in Mid & West Lodge, both are decorated and furnished to a high standard with all amenities etc that you need. The welcome pack was a nice touch and Billie the estate manager was on hand to help with any questions. All in all a fantastic place to stay if looking for a nice outdoor break with Newton Stewart 5 mins away for shopping, butcher, restaurants etc. Perfect!

I spent a wonderful 4 days on the Penninghame Estate and enjoyed its beautiful surroundings. Our group enjoyed many local activities including golf at world famous courses, driven pheasant shoots and a visit to a local distillery. The accommodations are very well appointed and surrounded by expansive parklands all within the estate grounds. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to future adventures.

We had a wonderful time at Penninghame. As soon as you walk through the oversized wooden doors, you encounter the vast interiors and they are exquisite. The furnishings, clocks, artwork and views from the windows are amazing. Every detail was perfect. The entire estate was spotless and the accommodations were flawless. Thank you and the staff for the warm welcome and hospitality throughout our stay. The red and white drawing rooms (both) are a step back in time and a perfect place to enjoy a book in front of the fire. Penninghame is worth the trip just to stay inside, but the parkland setting of the grounds is peaceful and beautiful as well. We were only a short drive to many shooting estates and had a great time playing Royal Troon and Turnberry. I’m sure there are other courses and Estates close by but we only had a limited number of days! The drives to and from the estates / golf courses were scenic and enjoyable. The whole place is beautiful and we had a wonderful time. Thank you!

Management were super helpful and friendly, we enjoyed our stay there, a beautiful setting with everything you need in the cottage

Beautifully decorated and spacious rooms in a stunning setting. The management were wonderfully welcoming and did their utmost to make us feel at home.

We had a lovely chilled weekend in mid lodge. Mid Lodge is stunning. Beautifully decorated with fantastic amenities. Very well appointed kitchen and lovely Arran Aromatics toiletries in all the bathrooms. Set it the gorgeous Penninghame estate with lovely countryside walks.

Very nice, lovely house and comfy beds. Very likely to recommend to friends and family.
