Snaptrip says

Guests consistently praise Criffel Glen for its immaculate condition, stunning views, and exceptional hospitality. The property is celebrated for its cleanliness, spaciousness, and family-friendly environment. The rural setting offers a peaceful retreat with plenty of activities for children, including a mini football pitch and farm animals. While internet connectivity is noted as slow, this does not detract from the overall enjoyment. The thoughtful touches, such as fresh eggs and interaction with farm life, contribute to a memorable stay.

The location is highly praised for its lovely views and peaceful setting. It is described as a great place for exploring the area, contributing to a high score.

The owner's hospitality and thoughtful gestures, such as providing fresh eggs and engaging children with farm activities, are appreciated. While gifts are mentioned, they are a bonus and not guaranteed.

About this property

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. Within a short drive are wonderful sandy beaches at Sandyhills and, Southerness, slightly further afield Rockcliffe.

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.

    The whole long weekend was amazing from start to finish. Property is stunning and very spacious, log burner was lovely. Huge space on the grounds for kids (and adults) to play safely. We had 4 adults and 2 kids staying for 3 nights and we had everything we needed for everyone. Host Emily was absolutely brilliant and nothing was a bother, very accommodating and had fresh eggs in the property on our arrival. Emily was also amazing with our 2 girls, taking them to feed the animals and bringing us wee bits for our snowmen we built when we were there as we woke to a white out on the 2nd which was perfect for us. Donald was definitely a highlight for the girls too, fair to say they loved him. We all said we would definitely return in the future as it was a brilliant weekend. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to book.
