About The Dumfries & Galloway Area

The Star Hotel at Twynholm enjoys a perfect location for exploring the delights of Dumfries and Galloway in magnificent Scotland. It is approximately central between the western and eastern parts of Dumfries and Galloway and is located only a short drive from the Solway Coast to the south and the lochs, glens, forests and hills to the north. There is so much to see and do. For the sporting enthusiasts there is a tremendous variety of activities such as watersports on Loch Ken or along the coast.....but we must not forget the ever popular pastimes of walking, fishing and golf for which Scotland is so famous. History abounds and there are so many historic sites to visit, including Threave Castle, Cardoness Castle and the Motte of Urr.

Then there are the gardens such as the famous Threave Gardens and visitor attractions such as the Scottish Hydros, the David Coulthard Museum, Mill on the Fleet and Clatteringshaws Visitor Centre. There really is so much to see and do. There are also lots of interesting towns and villages to explore such as Kircudbright and Castle Douglas. But that is not all, there are lots of interesting day and half day tours that can be enjoyed, taking in such as Dumfries and Burns Country, heading west to the Rhinns of Galloway and Portpatrick (or even a day trip to Belfast), or north into the glens and forests of the Galloway Hills.

The Star Hotel at Twynholm can provide you with an excellent base for your special break or holiday....whatever the season.
