Auchencairn Vacation Rentals

"Been here before.love the hotel and facilities.Rooms could do with updating in terms of sockets/usb and furnishings but all clean and warm.What is very disappointing is that there is no signage from the road anymore and neither the entrance,the long(@1mile driveway and the car park are not lit.I don't know why signage has gone and only the forrestry commission sign for Cally forrest is at the entrance.We knew where we were going and still missed the turnoff!In this part of Scotland it is dark @3.30pm(you are in dark sky country so no light pollution or street lights) and as checkin isn't until 3 I would assume we were not the only ones that could'nt find the entrance!Once on the drive,There is still no signage(apart from the forrestry commission) or even reflctor lights,fluorescent painted stones to help indicate the narrow drive or even a sign to reassure you you are on the right road.When you arrive the car park and hotel are in darkness except for a spotlight above the door.Again not until you are at the entrance is a small plaque on the door and a door mat with the hotel name.The place looks closed up apart from there are cars in the carpark.It never used to look like that.A lit sign and lights in the carpark would all make the place look more welcoming.In daytime it is lovely.It is almost like they don't want people to find them which is a shame."

"Excellent room great value half mile from the centre"

"The roon was very clean and welcoming. The staff was amazing as well from the reception to the kitchen. It was a pleasant stay. "

" From the moment I arrived, my entire experience at this B&B was exceptional. Every interaction with the team felt warm, genuine, and professional — nothing was ever too much trouble, and I truly felt looked after throughout my stay. My room was spotless, beautifully presented, and incredibly comfortable. The attention to detail was clear from the fresh linens to the thoughtful layout and amenities. It felt like a perfect space to relax and unwind. The B&B itself is in a fantastic location, and everything ran smoothly — check-in was efficient, the facilities were well maintained, and the atmosphere throughout the building was welcoming and calm. What really stood out, though, was the level of customer service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed, including a lovely pot of tea, offering great recommendations and checking in with me without ever being intrusive. Their professionalism and friendliness genuinely elevated my stay. I left feeling refreshed, valued, and incredibly impressed. I would not hesitate to return — and I will absolutely be recommending this hotel to friends, family, and colleagues. A truly brilliant stay from start to finish. Thanks Peter 🌟"
