JUST PERFECTION CAN'T WAIT TO RETURN!!!

I can only say that after staying at this gorgeous house I instantly had to book it again. I already miss the views, the sunrises, the beach, the kitchen, the grounds, the sheep, the birds, the squirrels...just everything! Aileen x

Superb Rural Retreat with class!

Auchengashell is a spacious, classical, warm and comfortable home in stunning surroundings, it is generously equipped and the comfortable beds, linen and towels were of a high quality. Orroland Estate offers, Sea views and pebble beach access, beautiful grounds and woodlands, including a Loch and Pavilion ideal for family gatherings or a Romantic evening by the splendid fireplace. There is so much to explore for all ages, exciting the imagination and inspiring the creatives. The wildlife is bountiful and fascinating, Red Squirrel watching is an absolute must, and look out for the Roe deer. For `twitchers' there are Guinea fowl, Heron, Buzzards, Pheasant, Geese, Jay, and a host of coastal, small garden and woodland birds. We loved fetching fresh milk from the milk machine in the Village shop/cafe at Auchencairn, and enjoyed pottering around Kirkudbright and the Harbour. We explored coastal inlets and stumbled upon a Ministry of Defence Estate/Firing range with a beach; accessible when the flags are down and the Barrier up!! I'm reluctant to publish my review as I don't want too many people to find out about this Special hideaway!!

3 Generation Summer Break

Auchengashell is a beautiful house, which served us very well. The spacious bedrooms have lovely quality beds, bedding, towels and toiletries.We really enjoyed seeing red squirrel and other wildlife around the estate, which is very tranquil to walk around. The pool room was well used by us all, particularly when it rained. The very well equipped kitchen with its huge table, made for comfortable family meals, and impressive wood burner in the lounge was really cosy. WIfi at the property is excellent, unusual for such a remote location. Such a peaceful setting, Orroland and Auchengashell are a unique experience.

Beautiful Location ❤️

We stayed for a weekend. The house is immaculate and equipped with everything you need. The house is beautiful. I loved the welcome cake and coffee. We enjoyed a BBQ too. The house has spectacular views across the solway. Absolutely beautiful. We had a fab time playing pool. Orroland is simply magical. Stunning grounds to explore. So peaceful. We loved seeing all the wildlife- guinefowl, squirrels, rabbits, hares, deer, kite, heron to name a few. Highly recommend.
