Set in gardens with a delightful stream and pond, enjoy woodland walks and hillside trails and fishi

Set in gardens with a delightful stream and pond, enjoy woodland walks and hillside trails and fishing on a nearby loch..
"Idyllically set on a 3000-acre estate..."
Enjoying an idyllic situation on the 3000-acre Crofts Estate, surrounded by the Galloway Hills, these holiday cottages have enviable, dramatic views towards the Solway Firth and Cumbrian Hills beyond. Accessed along a private drive, and adjoining a cluster of well-maintained estate buildings, Stable Cottage (ref UUD) makes a romantic hideaway for two, offering stylishly furnished accommodation – its walls adorned with the original work of various Scottish artists. The larger Victorian detached Gardener’s Cottage (ref UXT) has been elegantly furnished, and features an attractive shared garden with a bridge over a burn and a small waterfall. Arkland Mill (ref STTZ) stands detached with a lovely large garden, a summerhouse and its own bridge over the stream. Marwhin House (SWWR) and Marwhin Cottage (ref SWWS) also stand detached, situated within 25 yards of each other, still with there own privacy, the latter two properties being set in gardens with a delightful stream and pond. Woodland walks and hillside trails radiate from the doorstep. Dumfries lies just 12 miles away, where there are plenty of shops, restaurants and museums, as well as a good theatre. Castle Douglas (8 miles) is a traditional market town with individual shops specialising in food and local produce. There are many beautiful beaches within easy reach along the Solway, and the National Trust Threave Gardens, 8 miles, makes for an interesting day out.

Superb cottage, must be the fourth time we have been, highly recommended, lot of local wildlife seen from the picture windows, Red Kites, Red Squirrels, Pheasants, Partridge, Roe Deer and various other birds / mammals etc. Always clean and tidy, plenty of fire wood for the chilly evenings.

Wonderful cottage in a fantastic location. Buzzards and Red Kites continuously circling above in the crisp Autumn air, just perfect. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We were looking for peace and quiet and a couple of days away from it all and that's certainly what we got, we had a lovely few days at Marwhin Cottage. We were lucky with the weather when we were there, so were able to enjoy the garden seating area and the wonderful grounds. The only thing we had to watch (aside from the escaped Highland cow on the drive one day!) was that the estate is shooting estate, there were lots of young pheasant wandering around, so just needed to be careful with our dog. Not too much within walking distance but Dumfries and Castle Douglas an easy drive for supermarkets etc. and there are small shops/newsagents in nearby villages, but it was perfect for what we wanted for the long weekend we were there.

The Cottage was really lovely the location was fantastic.
The Cottage was really lovely the location was fantastic. Cannot fault the Cottage with regards to comfort or location. However, it was not as clean as other properties we have rented, there were stains on the cushions and crumbs in the kitchen cupboards. The kitchen could do with the addition of a few more basics, a set of scales, more mugs etc. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
