Amazing Location

Fantastic cottage in a great location, the cottage was really clean and had everything you need for a break away from the hustle and bustle. Lots of wildlife around the cottage and great walks in the areas also. Would definitely recommend and will be returning as well as we had a great time.

Magical place

Beautiful cottage, immaculately decorated and very well equipped. The enclosed courtyard is great for the dogs. The grounds are stunning and very peaceful. Lots of wildlife to watch - deer, hares, red squirrels and numerous birds. Highly recommend it. 10/10

Beautiful place to Detox

The weather was cold and crisp, the cottage was warm and comfortable. We all enjoyed our time there and found it the perfect place to wind down and chill out after a busy Christmas and New Year

A wonderful stay

We loved Abbotsway Cottage & Orroland. The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed; the grounds were beautiful and peaceful and we spent many hours exploring the beach. Our children loved the games room, and the selection of books and board games in the cottage.

A Relaxing Break

We stayed here with our reactive dog and we had a great time. Lots of wildlife to watch from the windows, access to long walks and a house that was a home away from home. Such a peaceful and quiet location and so picturesque! We will be definitely be back.

Very enjoyable, despite last day weather ! V well equipped, v clean, great location. (a fire glove would help as difficult to just use the tongs with the logs - just a small point, in no way a criticism)

Abbotsway Cottage December 2023

The cottage was beautifully furnished, very comfortable and had everything we needed. It was lovely and warm. The secure courtyard was perfect for the dogs to wander about in safely. The gardens and grounds were fabulous, and well maintained, lots to walk round and look at. Would definitely recommend it.

Abbotsway cottage is gorgeous! Fantastically equipped, clean, comfortable, and cozy. It’s amazingly dog friendly, the wonderful hosts have thought of absolutely. We had a small problem with the ev charger and the hosts did absolutely everything to help. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay. Cannot recommend this property highly enough.

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location

Stayed at Abbotsway Cottage for a long weekend. The cottage and location are excellent. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay, from comfortable chairs and sofa to a kitchen with plentiful utensils. Oh, and a pool table. The estate is great to wander around. Hopefully we will return when the weather is a little kinder

Amazing place !

We absolutely loved our stay here , it’s such a magical place I’ve never stayed anywhere quite like it before. The owners have thought of everything, the cottage is so well equipped. It’s super dog friendly, the dogs even get a welcome pack with dogs tags in it such a lovely touch . We shared with friends it was perfect as the bedrooms are in separate wings of the house and having 2 bathrooms was ideal. I will definitely return to Orroland it’s a hidden gem, we always holiday in Dumfries and Galloway and had no idea about this place !

Peaceful

High standard of accomodation from bedding to bathrooms - well equipped kitchen - spotless clean - efficient wood burner - great wildlife from window too! Welcome to walk around the landscaped garden of lake, summer house, wild flower meadow - beautiful & serene - as part of the private estate and access to rocky shore on Solway. Would recommend for a quiet getaway - though local stores only 10 mins away.

Beautiful!

Abbotsway Cottage is a home-from-home experience that is just gorgeous in its location, layout, cleanliness, and offering. We stayed over the Easter weekend for a week and were greeted after a long drive with a lovely little welcome tray, fresh milk, and yummy homemade brownies. Everything was thought of for the house and what we could use or need during our stay. The location was perfect and central to visiting places in the area. Orroland as an estate is stunning and so lovely that the owners want to share their estate with their guests. The wildlife on the estate is varied - we had a few firsts… squirrels, eared legged partridges, and nuthatches! Would highly recommended Orroland and Abbotsway Cottage - well definitely be returning!

A piece of paradise found

We had a fab time. Very clean and comfy. Every attention to detail covered and wildlife abound. Thank you Sarah and the team. We enjoyed walks all over the estate. Hooting owls in the evening and a glorious night sky. Out and about to bays and historic houses. Really lovely. Up there with our fave cottages. 10/10

A divine place

We fell in love with Abbotsway Cottage from the moment we arrived. What a divine place! Clearly lots of care and thoughtfulness has gone into the design of the beautiful house. The surroundings are picturesque and calming. Discovering the rocky remote beach was very special, particularly for our daughter, and we absolutely loved watching birds, red squirrels and hares from our lounge window. We love Enid Blyton books - and the world of the Orroland Estate brings all these adventure stories alive! We will surely be back and can't wait!

Lovely cottage in stunning location

This was the 3rd time we've stayed at Abbotsway Cottage, 4th time at Orroland The Cottage is always immaculate and is so well equipped, it has everything we need. It's beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It's so peaceful and totally relaxing. The secure courtyard is great for the dogs to wander about in and the bbq was appreciated. The welcome pack for us and the dogs was lovely and the dog tags were a brilliant idea. We've loved staying here and watching the deer, hares, red squirrels and all the birds. Zorro was very happy to be back at "Zorroland", he and Breagh loved the window seat (we put a cover on it) and enjoyed their walks round Zorro's kingdom. We've booked again already. Thank you

Wonderful

If you are looking for peace & quiet, then this is the place for you, and you can enjoy the wonderful countryside and local animal population. Seeing the red squirrel was the highlight of our week! The cottage is great, very high spec, everything works, and it is clean and beautiful, the decor is lovely. The only thing I personally would have preferred is the front garden to be fenced, the view from the front garden was beautiful, and for us, it would have been nicer to relax totally, with the dogs with us, and not have to worry about them bolting after a pheasant or two that just wonder into the garden. Saying that, this is only a very minor point, as it's the only negative to a very pleasant stay. (I marked the value for money a 4 because it is expensive, and I've stayed in cottages of the same standard for less money; however, because of the beautiful private estate, I believe it was worth the money)

Delightful cottage in peaceful spot

Abbotsway Cottage is comfortable, spotlessly clean and thoughtfully equipped. The location is great, quiet and tranquil yet within reach of a wonderful community shop/cafe at Auchencairn and the lovely town of Kirkcudbright. We enjoyed nature on our doorstep and cosy evenings by the woodburner after days out. I couldn't fault anything. Thank you.

our stay in bonny Scotland

we enjoyed our stay in a lovely location in a very well equipped cottage. The wood burner was a added bonus as after a nice day sight seeing it was nice to put our feet up in front of a warm crackling fire and read a book or watch television. Our hosts thought of every thing and we received a warm welcome on arrival. I would definitely recommend it to others

Peace and quiet in a rural setting

A lovely, quite spacious cottage with a safe enclosed courtyard for our dogs. Wildlife to see out of the windows such as deer, hares, pheasants, kites, buzzards and squirrels. The gardens, a ten minute walk away, were an added bonus. We will return, perhaps to the cottage by the gardens next time. A very enjoyable stay.
