Below we offer a selection of accommodation options from across the area. Naturally this is far from exhaustive. Rather, these are hand selected places that we have visited ourselves and which we feel fit the Slow ethos of the guide. None has paid to appear in these listings.
The full description of our visits to the below properties are found within the published book and at www.bradtguides.com/D&Gsleeps - going live April 2015. More comprehensive accommodation listings are available at www.visitdumfriesandgalloway.co.uk, www.visitsouthwestscotland.com, or by contacting the Visitor Information Centre in Dumfries on 01387 253862.
For the more intrepid traveller wanting to truly get off the beaten path, then there are a number of remote bothys across the southern region. If you have never been bothying before the best start point is to imagine it as camping without a tent - www.mountainbothies.org.uk/locationmap.asp
