Snaptrip says

Auchentroig House is a grand and spacious property set in beautiful grounds, ideal for large family gatherings. Guests appreciate the mix of old and new decor, the property's character, and the responsiveness of the host. While some guests mention issues with heating and maintenance, the unique charm and tranquil location often compensate for these shortcomings.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviews indicate some concerns with cleanliness, such as dust and flies upon arrival. However, not all reviews mention this, suggesting experiences may vary.

The property's location is consistently praised for its tranquility and proximity to local attractions, making it a favourable spot for guests looking to explore the area.

Guests find the property spacious and the grounds lovely, but several mention the house being cold upon arrival and some beds being squeaky, which affects the overall comfort.

The facilities receive mixed reviews, with guests enjoying the spaciousness but reporting issues with heating, leaks, and kitchen equipment. Maintenance responsiveness is noted, but the need for refurbishment and better equipment is a recurring theme.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Auchentroig House offers grand and spacious accommodation across two floors for a group of family and friends wanting to enjoy a peaceful and tranquil break, while being within easy reach of the countryside and lochs of the nearby national park. The property is accessed up a long driveway, with ample parking in front of the house, surrounded by stunning countryside and with a communal lawn to enjoy.

    My family and I felt incredibly lucky to be able to have such a grand space for a week to enjoy as a holiday. It is cold, but this is Scotland and part of the charm, it can easily be solved by wearing thick jumpers. The property manager was very responsive to questions we had, including getting an electrician to visit ASAP for an issue we had. We tended to stay in a cook every night, the kitchen and dining table are well sized, but I would recommend taking your own cooking utensils, like good knifes and big pans (for induction), as it could be hit and miss and I feel if we were cooking for more than our family size of 7 people, it would have been testing.

    Essential to take extra blankets and jumpers during the winter months as it’s a huge property to heat. Plenty of individual space for a large family .

  • Carl

    Literally all the pictures of damages sent were present when we arrived. I'm shocked the owners are so confident to send us pictures of even broken piano keys. I can only imagine this is simple predatory behaviour or they use this piano so infrequently they aren't aware of the poor condition it is in. And this goes for the other damage claims made. I absolutely would not recommend this home to anyone after this experience.
