A cosy retreat with open fire, in an idyllic situation on the 3000-acre Crofts Estate, surrounded by the Galloway Hills.. "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.

Amazing stay at the Stables cottage. It was perfect, isolated enough to have some peace and quiet and listen to the wildlife, but close by to everything you might need! We stayed with our toddler who loved mooching about outdoors. The cottage has everything you need, is so cosy and warm and has the most comfortable bed! Margaret and Brian were on hand to help when we needed it! Thank you so much! Lots of lovely memories made xx

Our third visit to Crofts Cottages.
Our third visit to Crofts Cottages. A warm,cosy cottage with everything you need for a great getaway. Clean and well furnished with a lovely open fire.The kitchen has everything you need for cooking plus a washing machine and dishwasher if you are feeling lazy.There is lots to do in the vicinity and you can spot Red Kites all around.The local town of Castle Douglas is thriving with a lot more shops and cafes opening since our last visit .It is a very peaceful spot but with a lot to do and see within a short distance and the local pubs and restaurants are good.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short break in this delightful cottage.
We thoroughly enjoyed our short break in this delightful cottage. It contained everything that we needed (or might need). The situation is guaranteed to provide a restful holiday and is especially attractive for all wild-life fans. Red deer visited the side of the cottage and the roof provided a rest place for the fledgling swifts. Near enough to Castle Douglas for the shops and 25 minutes away from Moniaive and our favourite Italian Restaurant. This is a place that we'll be back to,

Lovely warm cottage with privacy located in landscaped gardens great for hobbits! Very quiet and cot
Lovely warm cottage with privacy located in landscaped gardens great for hobbits! Very quiet and cottage very clean with nice touches like fresh dish towels some basic condiments and firewood provided to start you off. I took my dog Marley but you can t let your dog run free as livestock very close by but was nt a problem for me as I always keep him on a lead in public spaces. Get a reasonable phone signal strong enough to use phone as hotspot for your laptop which I did. Loads to do in area but expect to drive as we went all over including Threave gardens, Sandyhills, Southerness, Castle Douglas etc etc. Highly recommend
