This is one of those reviews that I hate writing, because Springkell is wonderful and I don't want everyone to know about it :) The staff were amazing and extremely helpful and kind. We stayed for one night and arrived at midday, had a lovely walk round the beautiful grounds and then spent a couple of hours in Annan where a lot of the cafes and shops are also pet friendly. Back at Springkell had a nice dinner and early night. Breakfast was great too. Will definitely be staying there again if travelling between the South of England and Northern Scotland.
