Cavens was very welcoming and comfortable. There were a number of adaptations because of C-19, but everything felt safe and we were very well looked after.

Sheila United Kingdom

Angus and Jane are the most gracious of hosts. They offer their home as your home and the accommodation is really comfortable. The location is simply stunning and so peaceful. The food is lovingly prepared for you by your hosts and it is simply delicious. We have visited Cavens on several occasions. Each time our experience has been excellent.

Susan United Kingdom

Beautiful surroundings, wonderful hospitality, faultless dinner and breakfast. Pre dinner drinks and post dinner coffee in the elegant sitting room added to a lovely evening. A very stylish stay.

Winner of ‘Scottish Small Hotel of the Year 2008’, this luxury hotel is set in 6 acres of parkland, one mile from the Solway with its sandy bays and coastal walks.

Cavens offers large, elegant en suite bedrooms featuring free tea/coffee, fresh fruit and local biscuits. Some rooms have private sitting rooms with wonderful views of the Solway Coast.

Cavens Restaurant has daily-changing menus featuring fresh local produce. The excellent wine list complements the seasonal Scottish menus.

Cavens Restaurant With Rooms has vast sitting rooms with open fires, where guests can have drinks before and after dinner. The hotel is personally run by its resident owner Angus Fordyce.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.
