Situated only a mile from the stunning Solway Coast, The Auld Kirk B&B offers the perfect location to relax in peace and tranquility whilst providing easy access to the abundance of experiences South West Scotland has to offer. Occupying the former Kirkbean church, The Auld Kirk has been tastefully renovated to offer 3 beautifully appointed rooms, 1 king and 2 double, all with en-suite facilities.
