The Experience

Applegarth House was previously the manse for the church next door. Built with Dumfriesshire red sandstone, dating from 1720, it’s been refurbished from top to toe by Andrew and Kirsteen and is now a classic country house with elegance and comfort. Bedrooms have polished antiques, restful colours, candles and flowers, and all you hear is sheep, cows and birdsong – and the Sunday morning bells.

Kirsteen loves to cook, so you’ll have home-baked treats at teatime and homemade marmalade and garden produce with a full Scottish in the morning. Have a wander along the river and through surrounding fields afterwards.

There are three friendly dogs padding about, and you’re welcome to bring yours along – but they can’t sleep in the bedrooms. Walk by or fish the salmon river Annan, explore Eskrigg Nature Reserve, visit Annandale Distillery and take home a “smoulderingly smoky” malt or two. Return to a fire in the drawing room – your hosts have some fascinating old family stories.

Reviews

A delightful family home with the most welcoming hosts, who will go above and beyond to make your stay pleasant and memorable. A home from home for guests.
Inspected Edna Sawday's Inspector
Paula, Buckinghamshire

Beautiful house and location, so very peaceful. Andrew and Kirsteen made us feel so welcome, drinks on the terrace in the evening with other guests, tea and cake on arrival, couldn’t ask for more. Lovely tea tray in the bedroom with shortbread. Very comfortable bed, will definitely be back.

The Applegarth trip truly was special. Andy and Kirsteen have perfected the art of combining comfort with elegance to give a most wonderful stay. A five star experience in a beautiful home with delightful, generous hosts. A place where the little details matter.

Unsurpassed luxury awaits you at Applegarth House. The house exudes charm and character and is a real home-from-home. Kirsteen and Andrew could not have taken more trouble to ensure that every detail has been considered to ensure their guest's comfort. From the welcome on arrival to the moment we left, there wasn't a single thing which could be faulted. The quality of the food was exceptional and we are already looking forward to our return. Thank you both for making our all too brief visit such a memorable one.

Location

The neighbourhood

A rural, peaceful spot with birdwatching and fishing on the doorstep. 12th-century motte nearby; four miles from Lochmaben and three from Lockerbie, which has an interesting mix of shops, restaurants, pubs and monthly farmers' market. Moffat is 15 miles; Annan 14, with distilleries, festivals, museum and 53-mile Annandale Way running through, starting at the source of the river Annan.

Local points of interest from Kirsteen & Andrew Michell

  • We have an archaeological monument in our garden, an 11th century ancient Motte which is the remains of the Jardine Clan stronghold. Applegarth is the original seat of the Jardines and generations of the family lie in the small church graveyard next door.
  • The River Annan, one of the best salmon and sea trout rivers in the UK flows below our house. Day fishing permits can be bought. Enjoy lovely countryside and peace and tranquility.
  • See the the magnificent Telemachus submarine bell from World War ll . Telemachus was commanded by Kirsteen's father. Hear its incredible story of being stolen from the family home and how it was finally recovered. This was recounted on BBC Radio 4.
  • The beautiful Annandale Way, a 55 mile walking route between Moffat and Annan, winds past . Enjoy a wide variety of birds - moorland, woodland, field, river and coast and flowers and fauna. Trace Scottish history of this once hard fought over border
  • Devils Porridge Museum is a 5 star Scottish Visitor Attraction. It offers a brilliant interactive experience commemorating HM Factory Gretna, the largest munitions factory in the world during WW1. Full of stories, artefacts and old film. Worth a visit!
  • Take a bespoke tour at Dalton Gin Distillery. Visit the lab and relax at the gin-centric bar. A surprisingly Spanish theme encapsulates this little corner of Scotland with an array of Tapas on offer to accompany the tutored tasting. Truly fascinating!

Introducing

Kirsteen & Andrew Michell

Kirsteen and Andrew like the flow of new people and happily share their home and cottage. Andrew is semi-retired, Kirsteen was previously in hospitality; she’s keen on cooking, including making marmalade and elderflower cordial. They love their dogs, whippet Ozzie and Labradors Phoebe and Milly, and walking them in beautiful Dumfriesshire.
