History
In 1893 the Heron Maxwells sold Springkell to Sir Jabez Edward Johnson-Ferguson, 1st Baronet, and during the next decade the interior of the house was entirely reconstructed. Timber, mainly from the estate, was used to renew the old doors, panelling, wainscoting and floors; new fireplaces were put in, plate-glass replaced the Georgian sash windows and the whole house was redecorated.

The bedrooms are first class and the rest of the property very good. We had exclusive use of the property for three days and had a great time. The meals were excellent.
Very much enjoyed and would book again. Lovely place great atmosphere and lovely staff
Springkell is a lovely old rambling manor house, very charming and stately. The staff was very attentive and helpful and the food was excellent. We enjoyed our stay very much.
The staff and owner were amazing , the food gorgeous, and we spent a peaceful amazing first two days of our marriage here, highly recommended for a nice quiet break away with plenty to see and do
I held my sister's hen party at Springkell Estate and we all had the most fantastic weekend. The venue is outstanding and the staff were amazing. There was nothing that was too much trouble and they went above and beyond to make our stay superb. All the food was delicious and despite the rubbish weather we all had fun taking part in the mini highland games in the stunning grounds. The rooms are all beautiful - huge, now all ensuite and luxurious! I particularly enjoyed the giant freestanding bath in the bridal suite!
