Croftjane Cottage

  A lovely first family holiday for mummy, daddy and 14 week old Benjamin. The cottage is a delight, well located for local attractions and Claire was a great host! I... read more had been looking at other places in Penpont and Monteith and I'm glad we picked here. Will hopefully be back soon as it's only 90 mins from home (Edinburgh).

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

  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.

  Claire’s cottage is well appointed, cosy, comfortable and very peaceful. It has the most extraordinary view and sitting on the swing with a cuppa was a highlight of our trip.... read more

  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!

  Another great stay at Croftjane cottage. It is a home from home for us and we will be staying again soon as long as our diary permits. Thanks Claire for... read more being a very helpful and attentive hostess.
