About this property

Criffel Glen - a house that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

  • A superb detached two storey house converted from a traditional farm building to an exceptionally high standard and located on Airdrie Farm near to the farmhouse but in a private and secluded position with its own enclosed garden with wheelchair access to both the front and rear entrances. Furnished and equipped to a very high standard the house provides superb accommodation in this wonderful area. There are uninterrupted views down across the farm over the Solway to the Lakeland Hills both from the building and the garden which is enclosed with furniture and a hot tub.
    Within a short drive are wonderful sandy beaches at Sandyhills and, slightly further afield at Rockcliffe. The RSPB Reserve at Mersehead which also has its own beach is within a ten minute drive. Being Scotland, golf courses are always close by with a 9 hole pay & play course just 2 miles away and nearby Southerness has a championship 18 hole links golf course, other golf courses are available throughout the area. Mabie Forest, again within a short drive, has one of the stages of the 7Stanes Mountain Bike Network, long distance footpaths and at the Farm Park an adventure centre for children of all ages. New Abbey, again within a short drive, is a delightful village where Sweetheart Abbey is located and there is also the historic Corn Mill open to the public on a seasonal basis. Whether for a restful or an active holiday it would be difficult to beat Criffel Glen.

Lovely peaceful getaway

The house was lovely and very spacious. The surroundings were great with lovely views and very peaceful. We also loved the goats and petting the dogs when they came over to say hello at the fence. The hot tub was another added bonus, especially on a freezing cold winter's night. I'd definitely say that you need a car to travel during your stay as there's not too much about within walking distance. Overall, a lovely relaxing getaway.

Where do I start? Check in was seamless and everything was ready for our arrival. Emily is very kind and helpful, showed us around and the important information. The house is large, bright and airy, filled with high quality furniture for a very comfortable stay. The views are exquisite and I will miss them very much. It makes for a perfect stress free relaxing holiday. The hot tub is very big and makes the most of the fabulous views. It’s lovely to see the animals around the farm, the cheeky goats are great and give a lot of entertainment. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need. There are no immediate shops, however we had our shopping delivered to the farm by Tesco, so problem there. If you are looking to relax this is the place for you.
