What a wonderful cottage, place, and host. We simply cannot recommend Criffel Glen highly enough. Set within a working farm you truly do get a sense of being away from the rat race. If the 7 goats who potter around the place in their little gang don't bring a smile to your face then nothing will. Emily, who owns the cottage, is a wonderful host who makes you feel extremely welcome. Although don't let her talk you into climbing the hill (Criffel) after which the cottage is named. It is hard work!!!! Only kidding. The views from the top make every step worthwhile. The cottage is spotlessly clean and has everything you could want in a home from home. Beautiful place. We'll be back.
