Second time at Criffel Cottage and it was even better than the first one. I love this place. It's clean,cosy,whimsical, super close to the beach. Plenty of bunnies around for the dog to look at. I wish I could have stayed longer.

Cosy seaside cottage a real treat

9.0

Lovely cottage with great location next to the beach and coastal path. Great communication from the hosts Mike & Keith. Lovely touches like sweets and treats for the dog. Views from the attic room over the beach and Southern Scotland.

− Lots of stairs up and down so older people would struggle. WiFi poor.
