Hi, I hope you enjoy reading Fludha's blog

Hi my names Steve and with my wife Christine we own and run Fludha which is a 5 Star Luxury Guest House in Kirkcubdbright, Dumfries & Gallway, Scotland. My posts will cover my personal view of life as a guest house owner - warts and all. Hopefully informative and (occasionally) funny.

Visit the NEW Corridor Gallery

Christine's fabled "back passage" (we have had so much fun with that) has now been reborn as the "corridor gallery".  Now, open plan, warm and inviting the former "back passage" has been converted into a well lit corridor gallery featuring work by local artists, with special focus on images of this beautiful area.  Currently featured is work by photographer Phil McMenemy who has his own gallery at Lauriston.  His work captures the look and feel of Dumfries & Galloway in beautiful detail.
Also featured is local potter Hannah McAndrew  Her traditional slipware pottery is both practical and aesthetically pleasing.
The work of both artists can be viewed and purchased at leisure during your stay here at Fludha

New Guest Lounge at Fludha

In previous years we have taken the ground floor bedroom out of commission to use as a lounge during the festive season.  But, this year we have completed the stable conversion, so we have been able to release an additional ground floor room to be used as a permanent lounge for guest use.  So whether its for pre-dinner drinks, relaxing with a coffee after your evening meal or just having a quiet afternoon in when its raining we now have a beautiful comfortable lounge for you to use.  For your additional interest and enjoyment we will also be displaying works by local artist which will be for sale

Snow at Fludha Dec 2010

Snow finally arrived here last night after a fortnight of frost.  It really is a winter wonder land.  Notice how the banks of the river have remained green, just goes to show how warm the gulf stream is here!!  Actual outside temperature is around -4 C

Staff xmas Party 2010

Well in order to show our appreciation to our staff, who have all brought a little extra something to our offering here at Fludha and without whom we could not have continued this year we thought a Christmas Party where we serve them for a change would be a good idea - a great night was had by all.  Thank you!!
