Question

Am I staying at Springkell?Am I staying at Springkell?

Answer

Springkell has plenty of room on site, including 4 cottages. We have exclusive use of the venue for 3 days. I hope you all understand that we will do our best to make sure everyone is considered when organising accommodation. That being said, we will be making sure that immediate family get priority, then those that have travelled from overseas, and then it will be first-come, first-served. We will organise who stays at Springkell once everyone has RSVP'd. So please do this as soon as you can. We won't leave you out to dry, though. There are so many accommodation options in the towns nearby - Ecclefechan has the most. The owner has also said that if you want to share a room with other people, he will set up extra beds in the rooms, if you want (some of the rooms are huge!!). Please let us know if this is an option. Below is a list of accommodation options and taxi services if you are staying off site.

So many options in Ecclefechan (nearest town), Gretna, Kirkpatrick-Fleming and Moffat. If Ecclefechan doesn't take your fancy then we cannot recommend Moffat enough. Very pretty little town.
