3 bedroom accommodation in Ecclefechan, near Lockerbie
Cressfield Villa is a lovely villa set in its own enclosed gardens within the grounds of the beautiful Cressfield House Hotel.. 3 steps to entrance.
Ground Floor:
Living room: 42" Freeview Smart TV
Dining room.
Kitchen: Electric Oven, Electric Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher, Washing Machine
Bedroom 1: Double (4ft 6in) Bed
Shower Room: Cubicle Shower, Toilet
First Floor:
Bedroom 2: Kingsize (5ft) Bed
Bedroom 3: Double (4ft 6in) Bed, Single (3ft) Bed, Freeview TV. Oil central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Travel cot and highchair available on request. Welcome pack.. Enclosed lawned garden. Grounds with sitting-out area and garden furniture (shared with owner’s hotel). Bike store. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. Warm and inviting, this detached holiday property boasts spacious bedrooms, with a comfortable living room and a well-equipped kitchen. For a break from culinary chores, though, you can stroll across to the hotel and enjoy a traditional Scottish breakfast or a scrumptious evening meal. Guests at Cressfield Villa are welcome to enjoy not only their own private garden, but also to wander or just sit and relax in the private secluded grounds of the hotel in picturesque Dumfriesshire.
The holiday property is located on the edge of Ecclefechan village, just minutes from the M74 motorway and the world famous Gretna Green. It is the ideal location for friends and family to meet together from far and wide to enjoy a weekend or even a wedding!
Ecclefechan is a small village, yet its most enduring claim to fame is being the birthplace of Thomas Carlyle, the poet and author, born in 1795. The cottage that he lived in as a child now houses a recreation of an 1800s cottage and is run as a museum by the National Trust for Scotland, which lends a feel to the village that it has been left behind by history. Ecclefechan is perhaps more famous for the Ecclefechan Tart – a taste not to be missed! Shop ½ mile, pub and restaurant 20 yards.
Free WiFi
There is a ramp from the car parking spaces n The house is in the grounds of the owner's hotel. Guests are welcome to use all of the outside space. Guests are also welcome to use the hotel for their breakfast, at a cost.

Over all very nice house.
Over all very nice house.well equipped for ground floor living.if I need to nicpic.there wasn't any hooks especially in the ground floor bathroom.we had to put everything on the floor.the white goods in the kitchen were very dated but they did work.Having the hotel just a few yards away was a plus if you fancy a drink.

We all, three adults and a dog, enjoyed our holiday.
We all, three adults and a dog, enjoyed our holiday. The cottage was spacious and we'll furnished. The beds were especially comfortable. Lovely to have a porch to leave muddy boots and wet coats although the weather was pretty good for October. The downstairs shower wasn't very powerful but the one upstairs was really good. Lots of equipment in the kitchen but one or two additional items would be useful such as a salad bowl, potato peeler etc.
Lots of interesting places to visit in the area. We enjoyed Caerlaverock Castle and the Solway coast as well as Dumfries and the Burns and Carlyle museums. Big supermarket in Lockerbie for groceries but the Cressfield Hotel just next door serves delicious meals if you don't want to cook.

Lovely cottage, plenty room and has everything you need.
Lovely cottage, plenty room and has everything you need. Garden enclosed by hedge so need to watch if dog s are out as could get through some bits. Dog friendly walk round woods from cottage-about 4 miles round it. Hotel just across car park, Great food and friendly staff. Nice walk into village and not far from bigger towns to visit.
