Crofts Estate
A working farm set in the stunning Galloway hills
Crofts estate is extensive in size with two farms, large woodlands, a mountain, lochs and beautiful gardens, which you are welcome to explore.
Design
All of the Crofts' Cottages have been expertly decorated in a style that is in keeping with the local area and the rustic aesthetic. Quality is everything and so we make sure our cottages are maintained to the highest standard.
Championing local artisans is important to us so the cottages and landscape are decorated with the work of local artists wherever possible.
Exploring
We want you to feel welcome to explore the land on the estate. The cottages are all close in distance to each other: Marwhirn House and Cottage are fully detached but 25 yards from each other and share a drive. Gardener’s and Stables Cottages are close by with attaching gardens. Arkland Mill is just a short drive away. Each has a garden for your own private use but also shares land with the main house and farm.
We want you to feel totally at home, whilst being mindful that this is a working farm. Please be aware of the Countryside code - keep dogs on leads, leave gates as you found them, use hinge end of gates or stiles to cross walls, take your rubbish with you, respect the livestock.
Access
The Crofts Estate is between Crocketford and Corsock, just three miles from the A75. A car is the easiest way to reach the cottages but there is a train station in Dumfries, 12 miles away, and Glasgow Airport is less than a 2 hour drive. Both Glasgow and Edinburgh City Centres can be reach in about 2 hours with much to see and do if you were looking for a day trip. Dumfries is the largest local town in the area with plenty of shops, restaurants, the Burns Museum, Moat Brae and a theatre. Castle Douglas is a charming, traditional market town with independent shops specialising in food and local produce. There is also a thriving theatre here, a restaurant serving up local, seasonal and foraged meals. All the cottages are within easy reach of the coast and the many beautiful beaches along the Solway. Threave Castle and the National Trust Threave Gardens are 8 miles away and make for an interesting cultural day excursion.
