Flowerbank Guest House

Dumfries & Galloway


This dignified 18th-century house is set in a magnificent landscaped garden in Minnigaff on the banks of the River Cree. The two elegantly furnished rooms at the front of the house are slightly more expensive but are spacious and have lovely garden and river views. It's a quiet, peaceful stop. Prices drop if you stay three nights or more.
