The cottages are on Croft No.3, the home of Helen, Alistair and their family. Built originally by the MacFarlane family in the late 19th century, the main house on the croft provided accommodation for the post office, a shop, petrol and coal sales, base for a mobile shop together with B & B in the summer months. For a number of years in the ‘60s and ‘70’s the same 20 visitors came for the "Glasgow fair" at the end of July and helped to bring in the hay. During the last 10 years, we have restored the 12 acred croft to a vibrant home and small-holding which welcomes visitors to share in its peace and beauty.
The cottages are both graded 3 star (Visitscotland grading) and have attracted Green Tourism awards for our attention to environmental considerations.
Shared facilities include a washing machine, dryer and deep freeze, full access to the croft, trampoline and storage facilities for bicycles and kayaks. A cot and a high chair are available for families with babies and toddlers. Pets are welcome (for a small extra charge). They are free to roam on the croft walks but need to be kept on a lead on other people’s land.
The cottages are sufficiently distant from each other to provide privacy yet are close enough for 2 families to enjoy a joint holiday together with the security and knowledge that the children can be "free range" as they bounce on the trampoline, play in the "wendy house" or have an "adventure" exploring the croft.
