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.

From the moment we arrived we loved it. Kirsteen and Andrew greeted us like old friends and two days later we felt we actually were! The house is serene and the garden is beautiful. Fresh flowers in every room, most comfortable bed ever and very nice bathroom treats! We had two delicious dinners with excellent wine - they made us a lovely supper despite arriving late at 10pm and bought us our favourite wine the second night. We felt utterly at home, treated like royalty, and had huge fun to boot. Fantastic place to stay for r and r and with beautiful Dumfries and Galloway all around.

Kirsteen and Andy have thought of everything to make the stay super comfy. From pretty rooms to huge selection of teas and a little basket of essentials that you might have forgotten to pack. Many 5 star hotels round the world could learn a few tips here. Regretting we didn’t stay longer as so much to see in the area.

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.
We stayed at Applegarth on our outward and return journey to Mull. Hospitality was of the highest standard and everything possible was done to ensure our stay was comfortable. We really appreciated the addition of delicious evening meal after a long journey .Kirsteen and Andrew were thoughtful , friendly and entertaining hosts . We would , without hesitation make a return visit .
