    The warm welcome, the cosy but spacious en-suite bedroom and the gorgeous breakfast. Chris and Tony were the perfect hosts. Sadly we were only there for a brief amount of time, but we will most definitely be booking again.

Christine & Tony Groom
Located at the heart of Gretna Green very close to all the famous places. The Kirkcroft Guest House, one of the oldest buildings in Getna Green is a detached house built in1836 as the school masters house and later used as the Post Office for Gretna Green area. For the past 80 years to now it is a comfortable and friendly Bed and Breakfast. All bedrooms are en-suite and have TV, Tea & Coffee facilities. The Kirkcroft has private parking and an overnight lockup for bicycles. Just 5 minutes walk to the famous blacksmith and anvil. Wedding guests are very welcome. Sorry but no stag or hen parties.
Welcome to our home. Christine and Tony will welcome everyone at the door. Christine's dream was to one day own her own a Guest house, and with a surname of Groom where better than Gretna Green. All Christine wants is for all guests to have a happy, relaxing and comfortable stay with us and a great breakfast.
Kirkcroft Guest House is located between England and Scotland at Gretna Green. We are only 3 minutes walk from the railway station and just 5 minutes walk from The World Famous Blacksmith Shop. The new Outlet Village is just 10 minutes walk, which for the discerning shopper is full of many of the worlds top brand stores.
