We were married in the Kirkhill Parish Church on the 6th November and had our reception at the Achnagairn House, as well as family get-togethers on the Friday night and Sunday morning. I wrote the following message, unprompted, to the management when we got back from the honeymoon:
"We cannot say strongly enough how fantastic our experience of the Achnagairn House was. The setting was pitch perfect at that time of year with the explosive Autumn colours, the house itself is statuesque, unique, warm and in perfect condition, including the bedrooms. Most gratifying of all was that the staff could not have been more helpful: special mention has to go to Arlene who not only looked after us to far-beyond-the-call levels and in such a friendly manner but also for showing majesterial levels of patience with us getting all het up about our Big Day."
Overall the great advantage of the place is not just the impressive beauty and organisation but that it's YOURS. We used our own caterer which meant extra organisation like hiring waitresses, having to think about spoons, sugar cubes, napkins, bin bags etc but in the end it was well worth it and I believe the house can supply caterers if you wish. I hate getting kicked out of weddings just as they're getting going and we took great pleasure in saying on our invites: 'The music has to stop at 1am - but the house is ours for the night!'. Highly, highly recommended. read more
