Looking for a holiday home?

Great for families or large parties, holiday homes are privately owned accommodation, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities for self-catering, although breakfast may be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different to apartments.

    Everything about Craggan was a 10/10. The attention to detail and hospitality is the best we’ve ever experienced (we’re avid travellers). The rooms are very clean, tidy and very spacious with everything you could possibly need and more. We even got freshly baked cakes every day … delicious! We would come back in a heartbeat… Martyn, Louise and Monty (their labrador dog) have made our experience unforgettable. Also, the breakfast is phenomenal and one of our highlights are Craggan!
