Zoom image by clickingCavens was built by tobacco baron Sir Richard Oswald in 1752 as the centrepiece of his extensive Dumfriesshire estates. The influential Oswalds were friends of Benjamin Franklin through their American connections and also contemporaries of Scottish poet Robert Burns, who wrote an 'Ode sacred to the memory of Mrs Oswald' upon her death. Tranquil, relaxing and surrounded by mature parkland gardens, Cavens is now home to Angus and Jane Fordyce. Angus, who spent 20 years working in top London hotels, is responsible for most of the cooking. The three-course dinner menu features the best of local produce, from smoked salmon, venison and Highland beef to delicious Scottish cheeses. The house is marked by a marvellous sense of space, so guests never feel crowded. The comfortable bedrooms are generously proportioned; one has a six-foot bed, while the Oswald Room has its own veranda overlooking the garden. Cavens is a great base for touring Burns Country, and golfers will find 12 golf courses nearby, including the renowned Southerness just a mile away. Travellers heading north will find Cavens an excellent stopover, and the house is also available for exclusive house parties of 16-18 guests.
