Kirkandrews House is warm, spacious and well equipped. The layout is unusual and was fun to find your way around after a glass of wine! The location is peaceful and we enjoyed a walk along the river. We would definetly reccomend Kirkandrews House and hope to visit again.

Lovely large property fitted our needs perfectly for a our get together and base to explore. As a group of 12 there was an adequate kitchen with generous dining and living space for us to cook eat and chill. Lovely walks along the river when it wasn't raining.

Our stay at Kirkandrews house was fabulous from start to end. The location is peaceful and beautiful. The house is huge and very well equipped. Communication with the owner was great and nothing was too much trouble. Hopefully we will be back one day.

Nothing to say, fab place

Stayed at Kirkandrews House for four days with some friends. We used the house as a base for exploring the Borders area in our cars, for which it is perfectly located. The fact there is so much secure parking meant it was ideal for us. The house is very spacious, well equipped and was nice and clean on arrival. We had a fantastic stay and will be back!

Firstly, the location was fabulous and, in fact, the photos are not reflective of the stunning views, roaring river and sense of outside space. The house, however, was not comfortable. There was adequate space (except for the kitchen which is small and very tired) but the downstairs furnishings were extremely uncomfortable, the carpets in need of replacement and there was plaster falling off the walls in places. Parts of the house were very hot and some of the windows upstairs did not fully open so sleeping was difficult but, then, the weather was unusually warm. Richard was charming and helpful but the 5* reviews on the HomeAway site, which have no comments are were posted during lockdown (?) were not indicative of the reality of the property. It is certainly not 5*. Again, the location is stunning but I do think it is overpriced considering its condition. (We also had an extra guest - a mouse, which I suppose is inevitable in a farmhouse).

This house is massive! We were a family of 11 which included 3 generations. Loads of room for us all and house and location are beautiful. Could do with a bit of maintenance in the bathrooms as the showers were a bit hit and miss and either red hot or freezing cold. The owner brought us a cake which was a lovely touch and absolutely delicious.

What a fabulous place, in a beautiful setting. Warm, well equipped and there's cake! Even the weather was lovely. There was plenty room for 3 generations and the dog celebrating a Diamond wedding and 80th. Would love to return; we could not fault anything, it was perfect.

We gathered family and friends at Kirkandrews House for a 60th birthday celebration. The house fully met our needs, big enough to accommodate everyone comfortably but also cozy and homely. The house had everything we needed in terms of linen, tableware, kitchen utensils etc...the garden and surrounding area are beautiful and we enjoyed some great walks with the dogs. Owners were very helpful and made us some lovely chocolate brownies on arrival. Would definitely stay again.

We had the best time staying at this property not only was it very easy booking, the communication was excellent from Richard The cake on arrival was very much appreciated and well received after a long car journey The cottage was very roomy and cosy and everything we needed Will definitely be back again Very memorable experience and lovely surroundings

Loved the uniqueness and comfort of the property in a wonderful quiet location Well equipped for large party of people The immediate surroundings are peaceful and beautiful; the garden, river, church, walks. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay Richard was very helpful on our arrival despite arriving late into the evening The home-baked cake there to greet us was delicious Enjoyed the use of the Aga in the kitchen. Beds really comfy. Bathrooms clean and lovely. The three lads benefited from the snooker/ pool table when it rained. It is a great base for visiting Scotland, Hadrian Wall, Lake District and Carlisle. We have no hesitation in returning here again for two weeks next time

We had a great time (again) staying at the property and greatly enjoyed the cake which was brought to us on arrival! Thank you!

Great house, so much space and flexibility. Loads of bedrooms made the sleeping arrangements easy and lots of bathrooms. The downstairs gave plenty room for people to be together or have chill time doing their own thing. The pool table was well used. We found all the tools and equipment we needed in the kitchen and dining room - and even a separate drinks fridge! Richard was a brilliant host. Provided everything we needed and extras - a wonderful cake baked by his wife. The location is stunning with great walks along the river. We brought 3 dogs, who all had a great time.

We stayed here for a week, 13 and 3 dogs for the weekend. Then reduced to 7 and 2 dogs for the remainder of the week. Lots of space to not get under each other’s feet. The bedrooms are all lovely and spacious. 2 sitting rooms, so we had a quiet one and a noisy one! The location is ideal for the Scottish Borders and North Lakes. If anyone is feeling romantic, can pop over the border and get married at Gretna which is only 10 minutes away. All in all a lovely week in a lovely house.

Great house with lovely view. 12 of us had a great weekend there. Mr and Mrs Westoll looked after us very well and we really enjoyed the lovely cake they gave us. Can really recommend this beautiful house and situation.

Kirkandrews house did not disappoint we all had the best time for my friends 30th birthday from drinking playing games to walking round the surrounded area,we will definatly be booking again Richard was the nicest host and the cake was beautiful thanks so much Shelley wilson.

Just returned from a wonderful stay at Kirkandrews with family and friends. This large property is set overlooking the river Esk and offers something for all. Equipped with central heating and a number of fires, the house was easy to heat. The bedrooms are huge with ample space to store your clothes. Each room and bathroom was spotless when we arrived. With plenty of games, Freesat and even a pool table. The internet proved reliable, allowing us to stream videos and use our Amazon echo. The owners were super helpful and even baked us a delicious cake on arrival. The kitchen is well equipped with all sorts of utensils, cutlery and storage. We used the Aga to cook although there is also a fully working cooker. Although there is a table in the kitchen we ate at the large dining table next door. The grounds are huge with plenty of space for our pack of dogs. The buildings layout means that there is a courtyard to the rear with bags of room for cars. From the front garden there is easy access to a right of way path along the river. We walked North towards the church and dissued Waverley line one day and to Longtown itself the very next day. The path is easy marked and suitable for all keen walkers. Longtown is well equipped with a number of shops, take aways, petrol stations - with easy access to Gretna Gateway and Carlisle if you wish. Definately the perfect location for family and friends get togethers!

If you're looking for somewhere to enjoy some family time together this is definitely the place! An amazing house and perfect location! The house is much bigger than I anticipated! The kitchen has an Aga and a conventional oven, going onto a massive dining room with table that could fit us 13 on and more! a lovely reading room then onto the pool hall which was brilliant, it barely got left alone! Different balls to play different games too! Then onto the TV room. Enough bedrooms for all and bathrooms which meant everyone had their own and all the beds and bedrooms were lovely and clean and comfortable. It actually felt like you were at home it didn't feel like we were in someone elses! There are enough rooms that everyone can either be together at once or be separate and have your own space even with a full house! The church is a short walk away and very interesting to go view - open between 10am-5pm each day. We walked to Longtown along the river which is a great walk, about an hour for those who are fast walkers like we are! Lovely pub there called The Tavern allows you to take food in and has a pool table they couldn't do enough for us! We are so hoping to be able to book the house again! Richard is a great host and lovely and helped us with any questions we had! Can't wait to come again!

We enjoyed this house for weekend stay, to celebrate my mum's 90th birthday. Nine people, varying ages from 20 to 90, in the group and our dog. Welcoming cake, much appreciated. Everything we needed, very warm clean and comfortable. Richard was very helpful and very understanding when our car needed to be recovered. Enjoyed walks from the house. By the river and to Kirk Andrew Church. Plenty to entertain us, snooker table, table tennis and outside games, all provided. Would love to return.

Great house for large groups of family and friends in the most beautiful setting. This is our 3rd stay and there really is everything provided for a comfortable and relaxed time. A new en-suite has been added to the downstairs bedroom, excellent for those who may have problems with stairs. Warm welcome as always from Richard, cake was delicious, thank you. 100% recommended 🥇

There was a party of 10 family, friends and 3 dogs to celebrate my 60th birthday over a long weekend, Thurs to Mon. It was easy to find within easy reach of Longtown and Carlisle. Plenty of rooms and comfortable beds. Nice touch with a home baked cake left for us. Would recommend to anyone who likes the rural setting but it is close to Carlisle, Adrian's Wall and The Devils Postage visitors centre near Annan. We had a great 👍 time.
