Open-Plan Living
A warm welcome awaits as you enter Montagu Cottage. The spacious living area is flooded with light, thanks to high vaulted ceilings. A double-aspect wood-burning stove separates the modern kitchen/dining area, which includes a breakfast bar and built-in dining area.
In the kitchen, you’ll find everything you need for an idyllic self-catering break, including a large fridge with a freezer section, microwave, oven, hob, toaster, washing machine, and a small dishwasher.
Restful Bedrooms
Montagu has three bedrooms. The first bedroom, an ensuite double, is accessed via stairs in the living area to a mezzanine level. Bedrooms two and three are located on the first floor. Bedroom two features a super king-size bed (or twin beds), offering flexibility for families or groups. The third bedroom is a double with an ensuite shower room.
Bathrooms
In addition to the two ensuite shower rooms, there is a large family bathroom downstairs with a walk-in shower and a luxurious roll-top bath—perfect for relaxing after a busy day exploring the estate.
Stunning Scenery & Hot tub
Montagu has an enclosed garden with hot tub, outdoor furniture on the patio and an area with decorative stones. Enjoy stunning views over the Nith Valley, with sheep and lambs roaming just over the fence!
There is a large parking area shared with guests of Laundry Cottage, located just next to the cottage.
Fun Fact!
Montagu and Laundry Cottage were originally the Laundry on the estate! Built in the early/mid-19th century, they were remodelled in 1871 by Charles Howitt. Once an L-plan laundry, the buildings were converted circa 1924 by J. Laird of Glasgow to form two cottages, which have been occupied by a variety of estate staff over the years.
These properties are an interesting part of the history of the Estate and remain category B listed.

Montagu Reviews
"From start to finish, our stay was absolutely fantastic! The booking process was seamless, with the staff offering incredibly helpful and prompt assistance. Upon arrival, we were blown away by the house—it was stunning, spotless, and radiated a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The little touches, like the thoughtful gifties, really added a personal and charming flair to the experience. Though we were sad to leave, we were so impressed that we've already been in touch with the wonderful team at the estate to plan our next visit. Highly recommend."

"Montagu Cottage is a fantastic base for a holiday. The accommodation itself is both incredibly stylish and very comfortable... Great night's sleep in the peaceful setting with generous and comfortable bedding. There is an enclosed garden - great for dogs - and patio table and chairs. Set well within the estate, the only sound you will hear is birdsong. Drumlanrig Castle is a few minutes walk with lovely gardens, a café, adventure playground, lots of walks and trails."
