We are delighted that The Coach House Café has reopened, serving lunches, snacks and refreshments daily from 10am-4.30pm.

Contactless payment is encouraged and card payments are accepted, but we are not accepting cash in order to maintain positive hygiene among our staff and guests.

Those taking away food and drink are encouraged to buy from the kiosk adjacent to the café and Visitor Centre. The kiosk will serve hot and cold drinks as well as homebaking, ice cream and ice lollies, and sweet and savoury snacks. It will remain open, weather-permitting, from 10am-4.30pm every day.

We are also delighted that Dumfries House Lodge, the estate’s five-star luxury B&B, reopened to guests on Saturday 1 May.

The country guest house, which sits on the edge of the 2000-acre estate and is a just a few minutes’ walk from Dumfries House itself, was officially opened by HRH The Prince of Wales in 2012. The award-winning lodge features 22 luxurious guest rooms and two self-catering cottages.
