The Munches Room is carefully appointed in the Adam style, and connects guests to the Jacobite history of Buittle, former home of the Maxwells. The room is on the ground floor, with access to the courtyard (with one step) and its own ensuite bathroom with shower. Full Scottish or American breakfast is included. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are also available. Please let us know of any dietary requirements ahead of time. We aim to offer guests a true country house experience.
As part of our effort to reduce our environmental impact, gourmet tea and coffee are provided by the house manager upon request.
The site which the present tower occupies was once the inner bailey of the medieval Buittle Castle, one of Scotland's royal castles and twice capital of Scotland. Buittle was home to Lady Devorguilla of Galloway and the Bailliol Dynasty, and later a Jacobite stronghold of the Gordon and Maxwell families, who re-constructed the original 13th Century keep into the present L-plan tower, c.1500. Buittle Castle, unlike many such buildings, remains very much a working building, and so retains the 'feel' that these buildings had when first built, surrounded by formal gardens, livestock, vegetable growing and pleasure grounds. It is currently home to James, the 24th great grandson of Lady Devorguilla, and his cousin Tobias, who have re-acquired the castle after roughly 60 years of it being out of family ownership. The site is also home to a working printing office specialising in craft letterpress printing and bookbinding, and a medieval chapel, with an interesting Jacobite history, in which services are regularly celebrated in the pre-reformation Use of Sarum.
Due to COVID-19, the Hot Tub is temporarily closed.

We had a lovely time and wished we could stay longer. The room is furnished elegantly and to a high standard, with lots of lovely touches and absolutely nothing cheap or nasty. The host is charming. The breakfast was excellent. The setting is peaceful and beautiful. We had everything we needed and there was nothing to spoil the special atmosphere.
Very good

Stayed for 3 nights but could have easily have stayed longer. Fab & unusual place to stay with great/attentive host, limited (but good) breakfast and hot tub. Would not hesitate to stay again.

We had a very comfortable two night stay at the Castle and enjoyed our time. Tobias made the visit special. He took the time to answer questions and provide recommendations about local activities. He answered all my questions about the gardens and genuinely helped me with my own project. He is the ...
