On site you'll find the Whistle Restaurant, a tearoom and bar, 21 bedrooms and two grounds cottages, one of which is wheelchair friendly. The estate has strong links to poet Robert Burns, who was a regular guest and associated with the nearby Burns Hermitage, while Ellisland Farm Museum, where Burns wrote some of his most famous works, is just a short walk away. Private fishing on the River Nith is available in season, and free onsite parking makes arriving easy. Dumfries itself is close by, with further museums and galleries within a short drive.
