About this property
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.

No problem with the cottage but people should be made aware of the approach road which is very narrow and in a poor condition

Cottage very comfortable and well set up but the half mile single track to it off main road, which it never said in write up, was terrible. So narrow, Pot holes and very bumpy. Awful state of repair, does not do your vehicle any good. Also only one passing place about three quarters up track so if you meet another vehicle from the cottage next door, to reverse is a nightmare! It was advertised with lovely walks surrounding the cottage but there weren’t any only a small garden. No wifi nor a smart tv which is disappointing. If had known about the track we would not have booked this cottage.

Great cottage in a peaceful secluded area, not far from Castle Douglas. Local village Crocketford has great wee shop too. Cottage was beautiful, cosy bedrooms and a spacious lounge and dining room. The road up to the cottage is quite rough, its necessary to drive in first gear and roll over the lumps and bumps and give the sheep time to jump back over the wall to the field. Even managed to see a bird of prey up close from drive and cottage. Enjoyed lighting a log fire too.
