Dabton House transformed into private hire accomodation

Following an extensive and sensitive renovation project, completed in Summer 2023, the Buccleuch Estates has unveiled Dabton House, a Buccleuch family home located within the Queensberry Estate, ten minutes from Drumlanrig Castle.

The house is now available for ‘private hire’ bookings.

The house has eleven en-suite bedrooms and multiple reception areas, while contemporary design blends with Dabton’s historic features throughout the renovated property, while the four-acre formal garden sits amid 27 acres of mixed woodland. The property also has its own kitchen garden. Its amenities also include a sauna, a well appointed treatment room, heated kennels, grass tennis court and catering kitchen.

Dabton was designed in 1820 by the popular architect William Atkinson, following a commission by Walter Montagu Douglas Scott, the 5th Duke of Buccleuch. The house historically served as the home of the Queensberry Estate’s factor until, in the 1980s, it was refurbished by the 10th Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch as a wonderful family home for themselves and their four children, including Walter Dalkeith.

In this new chapter, the Earl and Countess of Dalkeith, Walter and Elizabeth, have been instrumental in leading the recent renovations of Dabton House, which they completed in August 2023. The family continues to use the house today and it retains the ambience of a family home.

Alasdair Knight, general manager of Dabton House, said: “Steeped in history and surrounded by breath-taking natural beauty, Dabton House presents a truly enchanting retreat for guests seeking a luxurious escape. Whether it’s hosting grand celebrations, weddings, sporting parties, corporate gatherings, or simply cherishing precious moments with family members, Dabton House is the perfect choice.”
