WE’RE A FINALIST! 🌸🏆✨

We are absolutely thrilled to share some very special news: Orroland Holiday Cottages has been named a finalist in the South of Scotland Thistle Awards 2026!

The Thistle Awards celebrate the very best in Scottish tourism, and to be recognised among the top self-catering experiences in our region means the world to us.

From keeping our sea views framing the Solway Firth perfect, to preparing cozy havens complete with local treats and tranquil gardens, every detail at Orroland is a labour of love. We couldn't do it without our incredible guests, our wonderful local community, and our dedicated team who keep the estate shining year-round.

Thank you to everyone who has stayed with us, supported us, and shared in the magic of Orroland over the years. Wish us luck for the finals this autumn! 🥂

Delightful footage of red squirrels at Barrhill Wood, Kirkcudbright. You too can visit the hide in the wood here. Such a treat.

The countdown is almost over, the sun is expected to shine on Sunday at 19 degrees, and the kettle is almost on. ☕

We are so looking forward to welcoming you to the Orroland Estate this Sunday 21 June from 2pm to 5pm.

A few friendly reminders for a relaxed afternoon:

Four-legged friends: Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome to explore the paths and shoreline with you. 🐾

Payment: We ask you to bring cash for entry, the plant stall, and activities.

Footwear: We recommend sensible shoes or boots so you can comfortably explore the woodland trails right down to the rocky seashore.

Come to slow down, recharge, and enjoy the magic of the estate in bloom. See you on Sunday! 🌸
