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! 🌸

We found this such an interesting visitor experience, with knowledgeable and passionate guides at this lovely family-run business. And now a deer feeding experience too! We had a scrummy and generously filled panini last time we visited. And Sandyhills Beach is right there too so all-in-all it’s a great way to spend a day. (No dogs as their scent spooks the deer)

Just one week to go until the Orroland Garden Open Day! 🍰

The plans are ready, the garden team are putting on the finishing touches, and the kitchen is getting set to bake a delicious selection of homemade cakes and tray bakes.

Entry is £10 per adult (children are free), and that includes your choice of tea or coffee alongside our home-baked treats. We will also have a plant stall featuring pieces of Orroland and many donated plants that you can take home for your own garden.

Most importantly, this day is about giving back. 100% of the proceeds go directly to the Kirkcudbright Red Squirrel Group and Church Funds.

Come along for a beautiful afternoon out, support wonderful local causes, and enjoy a warm Orroland welcome.

Space, freedom, and a little bit of magic for the inner child. ✨
Our estate was made for exploring. On Sunday 21 June, we welcome families for an afternoon of true outdoor fun at our Garden Open Day.
Unplug from screens and follow the woodland trails to discover the unknown and unexpected—like our secret paths, quirky sculptures, and snail mound! There is plenty of room for children to safely explore, run free, and enjoy the fresh coastal air.
Best of all, children go free. Come and make some old-fashioned family memories. 🌿
Entry for adults is £10 and includes homemade tea and cake, with 100% of proceeds directly supporting the Kirkcudbright Red Squirrel Group and Church Funds. 🐿️

A LITTLE BEHIND-THE-SCENES QUESTION FOR YOU! 🛁✨

We love focusing on the details that make your stay at Orroland feel truly relaxing. Part of that is making sure our cottage bathrooms are beautifully prepared so you can unpack, slow down, and completely unwind the moment you arrive.

We currently provide shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, and hand soap. We are thinking about upgrading our toiletries to a gorgeous, luxury Scottish brand - Arran🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

Before we make the switch, we'd love to ask a quick question to help us get it just right:

When you stay in a holiday cottage, do you usually use the provided shampoo and conditioner, or do you always pack your own trusted favourites?

Drop us a comment below and let us know! Your thoughts mean the world to us as we prepare to wow you :) 👇

Look how much is going on in our much loved and plucky local town of Kirkcudbright ...

📅 What's on in June 📅

GARDEN OPEN DAY: Wander, explore, and simply switch off. 🌿

When you step through the gates on Sunday 21 June, you are invited to explore the estate at your own pace.

Orroland is a landscape of contrasts. You can stroll through our ancient woodland trails, walk through the peaceful wildflower meadow, discover the unique seashore palm garden, and sit for a moment at the secret Indian Temple. From the lawns, the grounds roll right down to meet our private, rocky stretch of seashore looking out over the Solway Firth to the Isle of Man and the Cumberland Hills.

It’s an insider track into parts of the estate rarely seen by the public. Whether you are a keen gardener or just looking for a peaceful afternoon out, there is a quiet corner waiting for you.

All proceeds go to the Kirkcudbright Red Squirrel Group and Church Funds. 🐿️
