This small, family-run hotel is beautifully situated within 7 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, Clonyard is set in south west Scotland, 4 miles south from Dalbeattie on A710. During your stay you can explore the numerous small villages which are dotted about the countryside, each with its own individual charm, or pay a visit to the country town of Kirkcudbright which is well known in art circles for its historical connections with the 'Glasgow Boys'.

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.

The hotel has safe grounds for children to play in.

The accommodation offers a choice of traditional, large, well-furnished rooms on the first floor of the main house or 'The Garden Wing' - modern comfortable ground floor rooms, each with its own small patio and overlooking a quiet area of the garden. One is specially fitted for those of limited mobility. All bedrooms have en suite facilities.
