About this cottage rental
Craig-E-Brae History
Craig-E-Brae was built in the mid 1800’s with a thatched roof. Then in 1936, the thatched roof was taken off, the walls raised and covered with a slate roof.
In 1964, the chimneys were rebuilt and the walls replastered. In 1996, a major restoration took place, modernising the facilities, whilst retaining its original (traditional) appearance and charm. The old peat shed has been converted into a single garage. The horsewalk is intact with some of the mechanical apparatus in place. This system of cogs, shafts and pulley wheels drove plunge churns and a threshing machine / corn cleaner in what was known as the Dairy. (the exposed stone built outhouses remain standing)
The cottage was owned by my Great Grandfather, Alexander Craig. Craig-e-Brae (Craig on the Hill) was named by my Great Uncle, James Craig, after he emigrated to America in 1906.

This was a beautiful quaint cottage in a lovely quiet secluded area.The cottage was a tiny bit dusty with some cobwebs but of course that's to be expected on farm and country land so nothing that can be done about that!Everything was included and it was great!We really enjoyed going to see the cows and walking around the lane!

Living in this cottage we could feel what it was like living in a cottage with so much heritage . One built in the mid 1800’s. Thanks Robin.

The cottage was cute but we found black mold in the one bedroom at the back of the house. There is a rug at the kitchen sink that hasn’t been washed for a long time. It was discussing. The listing did not mention that we would be responsible for paying for the electricity and fuel durning out stay.
