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.

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.

Lovely cottage, very comfortable in a peaceful location.We were on holiday with grandchildren aged 6 and 4 and we had great days out all within 30 minutes drive. Castles, gardens, beaches and parks. We would have been happy to stay much longer.
