About this cottage rental
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. 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. Other tourist attractions in the area include the Galloway Kite Trail, the Galloway Forest Park and golf courses and museums in Dumfries. Village shop and pub within 4 miles.. 1 step to entrance.

Lovely quiet relaxing place.Far enough away from towns to feel remote but just a short ride to Tescos. Stars were amazing if you are lucky enough to get a clear sky.

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. 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.
