Welcome to the Clonyard House Hotel Website

Clonyard is a small, friendly, family run hotel. It caters both for visitors to the area and the many local guests who call in for meals and drinks.

Those with business in the nearby towns will find Clonyard a relaxing retreat at the end of the day. We are only 25 minutes drive from Dumfries.

The hotel is situated in seven acres of mature gardens and woodlands, in a secluded position within a national scenic area near the Solway coast between the villages of Rockcliffe and Kippford

The Thompson family who have owned the Clonyard for over 35 years spent many years prior to this in East Africa. This affinity to that continent can still be seen around the hotel.

Dumfries and Galloway has always been and still is the undiscovered southern corner of Scotland. The scenery ranges from coastal plains and craggy cliffs to upland moorland with more than a hint of wilderness,

Numerous small villages are dotted about the countryside, each with its own individual charm.

The country town of Kirkcudbright is well known in art circles for its historical connections with the 'Glasgow Boys'.

Castle Douglas is the local market town and now prides itself on being described as the 'Food Town'.

During the spring and summer many local gardens open under the 'Scotland Garden Scheme'.
