Croftjane Cottage

  Great host and stay. Clear and friendly instructions. A well cosy and equipped cottage with great views over the valley. Pretty much everything you need there, but of course make... read more sure you bring enough food and drink with you as it’s a drive or long walk to the shops if you run out of wine! This is the part of Scotland people miss. Stunning scenery, quiet and very good quality Galloway food to be found.

  Claire is a great host and the cottage was clean and cosy. Lovely peaceful location with fantastic views. Would definitely go back.

  We are back from a long weekend at Croftjane Cottage and found it clean spacious, and perfectly located for us. It was well suited to a young family too. Communication... read more from the host couldn't have been better and we hope to return in the future - hopefully in the summer months so we can make more of the garden, local walks and easy access to Drumlanrig Castle!

  Lovely property with outstanding views. After a long drive up from London, Claire made sure the file was going when we arrived. Great location for exploring Southwest Scotland. Would definitely... read more stay here again.

  We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Claire's cosy cottage. It is situated in the middle of fields, cows and a pony. We loved to sit on the swing and... read more enjoy the wonderful view downhill. The peace and tranquility of this place is amazing.
The house is equipped with everything you could think of. So many bits and pieces in the kitchen - from cork screw to juice jug or various casseroles and lots of knives. Everything you need is there. Tea and biscuits just added to the lovely welcome.
We liked the two bathrooms very much. A tub for the children and a shower that even us tall people were able to stand comfortably in! A very rare find I must say 😀
Since we were travelling with two little children Claire even put up a black out blind in the childrens room and added a high chair to the breakfast room as well as a fender for the children's safety in front of the fireplace. So much appreciated all this!
The children loved to run around the garden and watch the cows that came near the fence. We quite missed them when they were moved to a different field after some days 😀
Our daughter learned to cycle on the little road in front of the house and we absolutely enjoyed many walking tours in the area - especially along the river Nith. Also we would recommend the adventure playground at Drumlanrig castle and (for the rainier days) Dalscone farm fun (indoor playground).
The internet speed was better than we'd have imagined. It used to switch on and off for a couple of days though but after Claire telephoned the operator it became more stable again.
Claire was always at hand when we needed advice and answered all our text messages very quickly. We met her a few times outside the house and had some nice chats.
The house is traditional and modern at the same time. A place that we can absolutely recommend!
