This Estate near Newton Stewart was bought by a London entrepreneur and his Swedish wife, a restaurateur. They decided to leave their hectic London life behind and develop a holistic centre to facilitate health and wellbeing which had become their shared passion.    The house had been run as an open prison for 50 years and was in need of major restoration.

 

The other properties on the estate, cottages, walled garden buildings and the stable block were all converted to make accommodation for the retreat. The house was completely restored and all the items within were sourced and purchased, where possible we tried to restore it to the original paint colours which we managed to find under many layers of gloss paint!
