A house with stunning views, well equipped kitchen, cozy towels, good linen and fun games. EV charger was an advantage. We didn’t have the sun but it would be even more special in the summer. Well located and you can walk to Kames Hotel in a few minutes. We will would recommend

Clean and relaxing place to stay
Such a calm location. Driveway enough for two 7-seater cars and more. Outhouse with another 2 bedrooms separated from the main house is prefect for us as kids can sleep quietly there, and we don’t need to worry about chatting too loud. Bathroom in the main house is awesome. Not only it is clean but the water pressure is very good.

Craignethan- Peace & Quiet
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Craignethan. The location is just perfect and the environment so peaceful, relaxing and absolutely stunning. I would certainly book the accommodation again, and we will definitely be back to the area next year. When the weather is right, it’s better than the Med!!

Perfect Bolthole
Beautiful cottage in a fabulous location with a lovely hotel/pub just down the road and an excellent village store within walking distance. Perhaps not the best location for families with small children but if you want to walk in fabulous scenery or just to relax in beautiful surroundings it is perfect.

Fall in love with Scotland
Fabulous accommodation and location for our stay for a family wedding. Everything we needed was supplied…… incredible views and facilities nearby AND they turned on the sunshine for me ☀️The journey from Glasgow is breathtaking…. but needs time to enjoy and take care. I manage to escape 4 days with only 1 ‘Scottish midgie bite’ Thanks to Smidgie lotions Will definitely be back.

Idyllic beach house
Craignethen is the most beautiful and comfortable little beach house. The views from the living room and decking are epic. The house and kitchen are so well stocked with everything that you could need. There are some lovely thoughtful touches including complimentary slippers, board games, books and DVDs. Excellent communication with the owners as well. I am most definitely going back!
