Stunning Venue

We wanted to say a massive thank you to James and everyone at Springkell who helped make our day unbelievably special We stayed for two nights and were really made to feel at home The place looked beyond beautiful and the comments have been that the food was amazing and it was such a relaxed day Our guests were thrilled and are still talking about what a fantastic time they had We have received our professional photos and Springkell looks stunning We cannot thank you all enough it was truly amazing Our only wish would be to do it all again Mr Mrs Crosby

Best day ever

We had an amazing day it was the BEST DAY EVER all thanks to James Rachel and all the staff at Springkell We had booked 2 years ago before the renovations had finished but we loved the house and knew it would be amazing which it was the bedrooms ceremony room bar and function room have been finished to such a high standard All of our guests commented on the venue the food most of our guests which were farmers loved the cut of beef evening buffet was a fab spread of everything even adjusted the desserts so I could have my favourite dessert of Banoffe Pie which was delicious We loved the fact we had the house to ourselves and most of our guests stayed over too followed by a lovely Scottish breakfast the next morning Everything was perfect for us we wish we could do it all over again Thank you once again Mr Mrs Threlkeld 26th April 2014 x

Perfect Party Venue

I am very happy to say that it was a splendid occasion and suited our family party perfectly Our age range was 2 to 92 and everyone enjoyed their visit Space to take dogs walking was a great way of using teenage energy too The food and wine were superb and the service made us all feel spoiled The setting is magnificent the bedrooms beautiful and the dining room magnificent Our party came from as far as the Isle of Wight and Aberdeen as well as Yorkshire and Edinburgh Everyone enjoyed it very much and I recommend it highly as a place for a great celebration

Superb Venue and Grounds The best in Southwest Scotland

We had our wedding here in May 2014 and it was perfect in every way James the Venue owner was very helpful and accommodating and he did everything possible to make sure our day went as planned The staff made us all feel welcome and our weekend at the venue was relaxed and enjoyable We and our guests were amazed with the facilities on offer and the high standard of the Venue and its beautiful setting The catering also supplied by the Venue was 1st class Eloise Jonathan

Perfect wedding venue

Having recently had our wedding here on the 4th October both me and my wife would whole heartedly recomend this venue to anyone who is currently planning a wedding From the moment we first visited the house over 18 months before we knew it had something special and would allow us to hold our perfect day The venue was stunning when we first saw it and was only improved with the continued renovations through an attention to detail and commitment to quality meaning by the time of our wedding the venue looked absolutely incredible James Rachel their family and all the staff could not of been more welcoming or helpful than they were to either us or our guests which meant that we had a brilliant weekend that nobody would forget easily We stayed the whole weekend and were able to having many things that made our day a little more unique to us and there was never any question from James to whether these were ok or not this is just a measure of how accomodating he was Overall our weekend could not have been any better and much of the credit for that goes to Springkell giving us a relaxed and enjoyable time and we can not recommend this place more Tom and Nicola Spencer

Absolutely Amazing Gorgeous Venue Staff were wonderful 6

I can t thank you enough for the outstanding weekend we have just had celebrating my brother s birthday Springkell has set a standard for all future parties What a wonderful time in the Main Room drinking and dancing the night away What I particularly loved was when James said the place is yours for the weekend He meant it I ve hired venues that say that but in reality they start imposing restrictions Its your venue but don t do that and don t do that and you can t do that at that time and you can t go there between X and Y At Springkell it felt like home just 100x bigger and nicer That organisation and staff were top draw So thoughtful and caring The food was great The rooms were stunning and the beds felt like a cloud As for the afternoon Sports Day well I havent had that much fun since I was a kid I would highly recomend that you ask James to organise that for you All in all I can just WOW Your hearts should swell with joy forever at how great a time we had Congratulations again thank your staff a thousand times

Wedding Venue in a million

After searching viewing all the venues we thought were suitable for our wedding in May this year we found Springkell Mansion House From the moment we drove up the drive through the grounds and approached the house we knew it was the venue for our wedding Then we went inside and what we found was an amazing venue with high quality finishes throughout with most of the original features of the period being retained restored From the moment we booked James assured us that Springkell would be ours for the day and I have to say he truly meant it from little kids to elderly parents James and Rachel looked after them all for us the night before and on the day of our wedding The parents comments sealed it for me when they informed us in the morning that they had been treated like Royalty Nothing was too much trouble for James and his staff team The day itself went without a hitch and was exactly as we imagined it would be including the serving of a traditional Orcadian bridal cog and a Lairds Blessing neither of which they had cater for before Food wine and service on the day was exceptional We would like to say a huge thank you to James Rachel and the team for making our day the day of our dreams and wish them the very best of luck as they are truly the best wedding venue in the South West of Scotland Highly recommended
