We had a great time. I've never been looked after better than this! Our rooms were beautiful, comfortable, cosy and super clean, and we were fed like royalty.
We worked hard, but it never felt heavy and had a laugh along the way, plenty of creative time and rest as well to keep our energy up. I couldn't recommend this enough - wish I could do it all over again!

I’ve just returned from a retreat at The Art Bank in Dalbeattie, and it was absolutely wonderful. A few days without schedules or deadlines gave me the space to reconnect with my creativity, try new things, and simply enjoy being in the moment.
The retreat offered the perfect balance of structure and freedom, with opportunities to explore different artistic media, experiment with new techniques, and step outside my usual ways of working. Surrounded by a building that overflows with imagination and creativity, it was impossible not to feel inspired.
The Art Bank is a place full of character and inspiration — every corner and every wall has something that sparks ideas. Add to that the natural beauty on the doorstep, with forests and a lovely park close by, and it’s the perfect setting for walking, reflecting, and letting creativity flow.
Hospitality here is second to none. Mandy and her sister Ange made us feel so welcome and cared for with really tasty home-cooked food, and the company of three gorgeous dogs added so much joy — they were an important part of the experience in their own right!
If you’re looking for more than just a place to stay, but somewhere that leaves you refreshed, inspired, and smiling, I can’t recommend The Art Bank highly enough. I left feeling lighter, recharged, and I would love to have the opportunity to return.
