About & Contact

A timelessly elegant house with spectacular views

Here you can achieve a perfect blend of relaxation and excitement, offering a memorable escape in a picturesque coastal setting. Enjoy spectacular sea views, serene woodland walks to the loch and seashore, and a fun-filled games room. The house offers characterful accommodation for 8 guests with plentiful entertaining space, a woodburning stove and 4 bedrooms with 4 bathrooms. With no immediate neighbours, your space is your own.

Super-fast Fibre WiFi | Woodburner and logs supplied | Family-friendly | 4 Bathrooms | Private games room | Walks to seashore | EV Car Charger | 1 dog welcome

The space

Downstairs you’ll find a warm and inviting farmhouse family kitchen, complete with AGA, with seating and equipment for 14 guests to dine together. There’s a comfortable sitting room with woodburning stove and seating for 14. The snug is a separate space for games/creative pursuits/work or just peace with a table and chairs for 4, desk, comfy seating and smart TV. There’s a useful utility room for coats, boots, washing appliances, and a downstairs WC.

The house has ample parking and a large garden with a sun-trap terrace, sturdy furniture and barbecue, lawns, hedges, woodland and wonderful views across the Solway Firth to the Cumberland Hills. Your own private games room with pool table adjacent to the house, just across the gravel parking area. Share your environment with the red squirrels that live in the woodland round the house.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms – a super king (can be twin), a twin and two king-bedrooms. Three have ensuite shower rooms; the fourth has its own bathroom adjacent with both shower and bath. Inter-lined curtains and luxurious bedding ensure a good night’s sleep.

Bed linen and towels, electricity (including EV charger), heating oil and logs for the woodburning stove are all included.

Guest access

The house, games room and extensive gardens of Auchengashell are your own private space.

The wildflower meadow, loch with pavilion, walks and access to the sea shore are shared spaces for guests of three holiday homes and our own family, resident at Orroland.

Orroland has its own private (and very quiet) road. There are no public roads intersecting the private and shared spaces.

Your nearest neighbour is about 2 minutes' walk away.

Reviews for Auchengashell at Orroland

Meet the owner

Melinda Kennedy

The Kennedy family has been at Orroland since 1973 when we arrived to find sheep grazing in the gardens and almost not a tree in sight. Over the Kennedy years, Orroland has undergone a complete transformation with a great deal of tree planting and landscaping, the digging of the loch, building of the pavilion and a continuous stream of other interesting projects and improvements which combine to create the character of this magical space. This is a three-generation enterprise (AKA passion!) and comes to you with our love.
