Croftjane Cottage

  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!

  Brilliant host and an amazing cottage in an equally amazing location! Great care and attention given to the COVID guidance and cleaning regimes.

Claire was always very quick... read more at replying to queries, and very friendly when we talked in passing on the lane up to the cottage.

The cottage is very charming, with all amenities and facilities you could want and need. The raised terrace area is amazing for views and lovely to sit out on the swing chairs or the picnic bench to take it all in.

Will definitely be booking again! 10/10 from us what a hidden gem!

Loved... read more watching the horses in the fields and just looking bout at the amazing views. Even our teens were in awe of the views. Great location from which to explore the area. Wish we had booked a longer stay to enjoy the accommodation even more. Thank you.
