Craigend is located just off Junction 11/12 of the M74 (depending on direction of travel). We are located in South Lanarkshire with our nearest town being Lanark which is 20 minutes away.
Due to its rural location there is no public transport near Craigend B & B and we are only accessible by car, bicycle and foot...or horse if you're feeling adventurous!
When driving up the lane to our B&B, please keep your speed down. There are badgers, chickens, ducks, lambs and all sorts of other animals running around.....we like them, so please try not to hit them! There may also be people out walking, riding and cycling up the lane and as there are blind bends and no strret lights it is advisable to drive very carefully.
