About this property
Surrounded by the Galloway Hills, this detached, pet friendly property has dramatic views towards the Solway Firth and Cumbrian Hills.. "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. Accessed along a private drive, and adjoining a cluster of well-maintained estate buildings, Stable Cottage (ref UUD) makes a romantic hideaway for two, offering stylishly furnished accommodation – its walls adorned with the original work of various Scottish artists. 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. Woodland walks and hillside trails radiate from the doorstep. Dumfries lies just 12 miles away, where there are plenty of shops, restaurants and museums, as well as a good theatre. Castle Douglas (8 miles) is a traditional market town with individual shops specialising in food and local produce. There are many beautiful beaches within easy reach along the Solway, and the National Trust Threave Gardens, 8 miles, makes for an interesting day out.

Just returned home from a wonderful 5 night stay. We had the best time, exploring surrounding areas, so much to do. Our 4th visit to the area, and still finding new places of interest. This house is so charming and comfortable very warm and has two gorgeous fireplaces which gives it a cosy ambiance in the evenings. The grounds are stunningly rural and the garden so beautiful and peaceful. Fully equipped with all kitchen utensils absolutely loved this house. 5 starWe can't wait to return. Highly recommend for anytime of the year.

Marwhirn House is a lot bigger and grander than the pictures suggest, which are quite out of date now on the website. The house is spacious, warm and has everything you need. For those who lament the lack of WiFi, both Vodafone and O2 had good 4G and 5G signal for you to tether. Very highly recommended for a comfortable and relaxing stay, and excellent value for money.

Amazing holiday home, the house is absolutely stunning and very well equipped, you can’t beat the views from every single window, gorgeous rolling hills, woodland and sheep surrounding this house. Comparing to other properties we’ve stayed before I’d suggest to do a big food shopping and stay, enjoy and relax completely in the property and its grounds. There is no wi-fi so make sure you bring lots of books and games for family fun time. Aga burner takes a while to heat up so make sure you take your time heating up the oven before cooking your dinner. Finally the attention from housekeeper Mrs M. was fantastic, helpful and kind and made our stay even better. I highly recommend this property.
