As dialogue is still ongoing between myself, Discover Scotland and the Croftdean owners, I don’t wish to leave comments at the moment. There are two questions here! Would I recommend Croftdean? SORRY, BUT NOT AS IT STANDS - hence 2 stars How would you rate your holiday? 4 stars for the places I visited but the cottage took the shine off it!

My wife and I , along with our Jack Russell Tara, stayed at Croftdean at the beginning of November. We found the accommodation fantastic, very spacious and great location. We would happily return. One or two minor points which I feel need pointing out and in no way a criticism. The property is situated on a main route and as a store in Colvend for essentials. It is probably a 10 minute walk away. Anything else, pubs, cafes, takeaways require a car. We knew that as have visited the area for a number of years. When leaving the property in a car, care is needed as it is a fast road and your vision is slightly restricted. The heating works fine but we were not familiar with the use of the log burner and the central heating which was strange as there are no radiators. We managed fine but felt that some information relating to domestic appliances, the log burner and heating would have been useful!! Great holiday despite the weather! 😂😂
