” Absolutely loved our stay at Auchengool House! The location was perfect, just a short walk to a host of local shops and amenities. The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was incredibly welcoming and provided great recommendations for local dining and activities. We especially enjoyed the spacious outdoor area and hot tub. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway! Will definitely be back! ” Laura

” We stayed for 3 nights with friends (3 couples) and absolutely loved the house and location. The hot tub was just gorgeous and we enjoyed being in there even in the rain! The house is beautiful with everything you would need for self-catering – immaculately clean and Alan was a great host. We would definitely book again. Highly recommended. ” Katie

” Auchengool House was a fantastic base for our long weekend in Kirkcudbright. It is a stylish and comfortable home. Very well equipped and the welcome basket of locally sourced edible goodies from the owner was much appreciated. The hot tub was a fun addition to the beautiful garden which has the backdrop of the castle. There was plenty to do in the area – walks, National Trust properties (Threave Estate and Broughton House ), Dark Art gin tour, shops, restaurants and the monthly farmer’s market. We would highly recommend Auchengool House. ” Caroline

” Auchengool House was the perfect place for our family birthday get together. Four generations all enjoyed a very comfortable stay in Alan’s beautiful home. Excellent, well appointed accommodation and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. Alan was a very welcoming, attentive host and the goodies left in the kitchen for us were much appreciated. Perfect location in the heart of Kirkcudbright but remember to book if you want to eat out as availability can be limited. We would have no hesitation in recommending Auchengool House – can’t wait to return. ” Carol

” This is beautiful accommodation. The house has been nicely renovated and has a lovely finish. The interiors have a great personality. The hot tub addition was a whole-family-crowd-pleaser. Especially so as it has the view of a castle next door. The bath tub is possibly the best one I’ve ever had the fortune to have a soak in. It’s in a good spot in the town with easy parking and access to shops and pubs so there’s enough going on locally to keep you occupied. It’s also a great base for trips around the coast and into the Galloway Forest. It’s our first time exploring this part of Scotland and we’re looking forward to visiting again – hopefully we can stay in Auchengool House. ” Danielle

” Auchengool House had everything we needed for a wonderful week, and the hot tub was a particular perk! Everything was spotlessly clean, and Alan couldn’t have been a more welcoming host. Fantastic property in a lovely location, with everything in Kirkcudbright on the doorstep and beautiful scenery and beaches nearby. Perfect! ” Judith

” We selected this cottage to celebrate our mum’s 80th birthday and to have such a beautiful cottage, in such a perfect location with so many lovely places to see and visit within walking distance or an easy drive was an absolute treat.

” Wow, what can say about Auchengool House, apart from absolutely wonderful, from start to finish. We were warmly welcomed by the Owner, who welcomed us with a large hamper basket with lots of food from cheese to tea to start off with, he then showed us how everything worked in the house, including the Hot Tub in the garden. The house is situated directly at Kirkcudbright Castle and Harbour, and was a real Gem. Kirkcudbright is an artist Town, and everything in the house was like the town itself – clean and full of lovely little touches to make you feel at home. The red Bath tub was one of these touches of art meeting home. We stayed for 7 days, 7 adults, 3 kids and we were sad to leave, but we will for sure, be booking this again the next time we are back in Kirkcudbright… We love it, we love this house and we will be back. Thanks Alan for making us feel at home in your lovely house! ” David

” We have never visited Kirkcudbright before and we were delighted by the town. Ample parking and shops around Auchengool. The House is laid over 3 floors. The top floor has two twin rooms but no bathroom. The first floor had two bedrooms (one ensuite), a family bathroom as well as a shower room. The ground floor has a well stocked kitchen, the dining room is beautifully decorated and table big enough for 10. The sitting room has two sofas and two easy chairs. We loved the property and the hot tub a bonus! There are no toilets on the ground floor. Highly recommend, beautiful house and town. Many thanks to Alan and for your generosity. ” Jema

” Beautiful house: comfortable, clean and very well equipped. Really comfortable beds and great showers. As it was sunny and warm, we made full use of the outdoor dining table and hot tub. There was a lovely welcome basket. The house is well situated to explore the town and surrounding areas – lovely woodland walks. Threave gardens well worth a visit.

” We had a wonderful stay and we would definitely stay again. The owners were wonderful and made us feel welcome and have made the place wonderful! We absolutely loved our stay! I have added the property on Google and written a review: We were fortunate enough to be the first to stay here and we have loved it! The house is beautiful and the outside space with the hot tub is fantastic. The hosts made us feel welcome and did everything to ensure that our stay was enjoyable. The village has everything you need with shops, pubs, takeaways and even a swimming pool. There are lots of places to visit around the area. We enjoyed the local beaches, parks and attractions or you can relax at home in the hot tub. ” Laurence
