Threave

This Scottish Baronial-style house, located only a mile from Castle Douglas, commands superb views over the magnificent gardens and surrounding estate, owned in the 14th century by the Black Douglas family and now a renowned wildlife habitat.

William Gordon, a successful Liverpool businessman, bought the estate in 1867, and built the impressive sandstone house that dominates the 64-acre garden. Today Threave is famous for its spectacular gardens, beautiful house and superb Visitor Centre, all of which can be used for corporate and private events.



The neo-Georgian restoration of the house by the Gordons created an elegant, bright and homely atmosphere. The graceful staircase leads up to a suite of interconnecting rooms around the Square Hall in which sits the original billiard table. The Drawing Room and Dining Room are wonderfully sunny rooms with huge bay windows, and can seat 50 theatre-style or 30 for dinner. The Visitor Centre Terrace Restaurant overlooking the floodlit gardens can accommodate dinners (for 80), dances (for 120) and drinks (for 160), while the gardens themselves offer a stunning venue for outdoor receptions.
