Croftjane Cottage

  Croftjane Cottage, located adjacent to a working farm is set in the beautiful surroundings of Nithsdale. It is really peaceful and has great views across the Dale. We... read more were treated to spectacular views of families of swallows circling the cottage as they fed. The property was clean and well equipped and Claire had provided all the essentials in the kitchen and bathrooms. Claire had sent very clear instructions for arrival and it was therefore easy to find, despite its isolated location.
The only issue is the council road to the farm driveway. As Claire warned it is in a poor state and requires concentration to avoid the potholes. The farm driveway itself is in very good condition. There is a lovely cafe in Thornhill, The Thomas Tosh and the local hotel The Buccleuch & Queensberry serves great food. Highly recommended.

  A peaceful retreat with beautiful view and surroundings. Just off the beaten track Croft-Jane was in the perfect location for us during our week exploring new rivers to fly-fish, in... read more and around the area.

Claire was a lovely host who quickly got us up to speed with local knowledge. The cottage was beautifully presented and we knew we had landed on our feet after a long drive from Cornwall. When we woke in the morning we were greeted with the most spectacular view and beautiful white horse in the adjacent field.

A garage/shed outside where we could dry our boots and leave our rods was a particular bonus, not to mention the gentrified town of Thornhill, with a great bakery, bars and well equipped COOP.

  Croftjane is the perfect bolthole, out the way with fantastic views, yet close enough to express the surrounding area. (Portpatrick is only 1hr 30 away, through some amazing countryside). The... read more cottage itself is perfect, everything you need and more..and what can I say about the view from the house and gardens...just amazing. Thanks again..:)

  We have just returned from a lovely week staying at Croftjane Cottage.
The cottage was amazing, clean, cosy, beautiful views and lots provided to help with a relaxed holiday!
It... read more is a great base to explore the local area. Beautiful walks, Drumlanrig and Caerlaverock Castles to name just a few. We always enjoyed getting back to the cottage after a day exploring and lighting the fire!
One of the best holidays we have had. Highly recommended!

  A wonderful cosy cottage with fabulous views over open countryside. Cottage was spotlessly clean, lounge was comfortable and cosy, especially with the brilliant wood burner on! Location was very quiet... read more and peaceful and we all slept like logs in the comfy beds. A short power cut during the stormy Sunday evening didn't take anything away from our weekend at CroftJane - in fact it was even cosier with the wood burner on and all the candles that Claire promptly provided. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay at CroftJane and will certainly return at some point.

  A lovely cottage in a remote location. Perfect for a relaxing break! Claire was very helpful with quick responses and local Information.
