This has been a breath of fresh air both literally and figuratively. We enjoyed everything about our room, the area, the fish and chips and the breakfast was wonderful.

The There are B&B's and then there is Craigend! Welcoming, warm and definitely coming back! Sally - Great Ayton - Jan 09
From the moment that our hosts came to our rescue us on a snowy road and pushed a reluctant Audi to their house, we could not have asked for more hospitable and charming hosts. An excellent and delicious breakfast after a good nights sleep. What more could one ask? Ranald and Jo - Newmarket - Dec 09
It's our first Scottish B&B and its absolutely beautiful/ We didn't have dinner last night because we were very late, but today we have eaten enough for 2 or 3 days! Thanks very much. PS. The bed is VERY large! Fabio & Michaela - Italy - Dec 09
Certainly the B&B of choice for me. I stayed for three weekends! Arriving late at night with a shredded tyre, I was rewarded with a demonstration of Scottish hospitality - all problems fixed, thanks to John. My only complaint is that I rarely had room for Heathers superb breakfasts. I hope to return one day and repeat the experience. My best wishes to Heather and John and I hope their business thrives. Bob - Tasmania - Oct 09
This was our 2nd stay with Heather and John, and this time it was for a mamouth 14 weeks!!! Our stay was very enjoyable and we were made to feel very welcome. Heather went out of her way to provide us with sandwiches every day so we didn't starve! By the end of 14 weeks they were our foster parents, we even managed a few long walks with Toby and Hector. We are due back next year for another few weeks which we will look forward to. Thanks Again!! Jamie, Ivan and Nick - Norfolk - Oct 09
Having riden 90 miles through much rain it was good to receive such a warm welcome. Heather and John looked after us well, helped us with drying our clothes, giving us advice on where to eat. the rooms are fantastic, spacious, warm and comfortable and as for the breakfast.....I don't think we will need to eat for 2 days now! It has set us up well for todays ride, thank Heather and John. Joglers - Leics - Oct 09

Maurice - Australia - Mar 09
We're glad we decided to stay two nights instead of just the one as a stop off for heading up North. Heather and John are very friendly and welcoming so it really does feel like a home from home. The Pergrine at the Falls of Clyde was an added bonus. Will definitely return and will recommend to all our friends in the birdwatching world. So sorry if you can't get in next time because they are fully booked! Thank you!
Pen and Ali - Oxford - Feb 09
On a scale of 1 - 10, this stay was 100! Absolutely delightful experience in every way possible.
Lary and Delynne - Texas - Feb 09
We arrived on a snowy evening with the temperature at -2 degrees! But the welcome was warm and so was the cosy room. We didn't need the extra blankets provided. There was no noise or light - a great place to sleep. A very enjoyable stopover on the way to visit our son in Aberdeen.
Lucy and John - Norfolk - Feb 09

Excellent B&B, one of the best we've had the pleasure of staying in. Attention to detail and customer focused, it's second to none. Fabulous room with all the extras that make a huge difference. Will recommend to friends and family and will definitely try to make it back again. PS. Terrific breakfast, Thank you so much.
Tony and Babs - Bedfordshire - Nov 08
The most important criteria in a B&B for us are 1) Cleanliness - Craigend is immaculate 2) Comfort - Craigend ticks ALL the boxes. 3) A warm and friendly welcome - You've met Heather? Nuff Said! The good food here is the icing on this B&B cake! We'll give you 4 stars any day! Oops. almost forgot - the best shower in ANY B&B! In fact, you ARE the best B&B we've stayed in!
Adreene & Barry - Australia - Oct 08
Just what we both needed after such a long day. The most comfortable bed, A warm welcome at such a late hour and a top-tastic breakfast!!! We would love to visit you again in the near future to appreciate the beautiful surroundings and enjoy the walks with our dog. Many Thanks Again.
David and Jane - Yorks - Oct 08
We have had a wonderful time, booked for one night and stayed for three! It’s so peaceful and idyllic to be in the middle of the countryside and yet so convenient for the M74. Heather and John have looked after us exceptionally well, better than a 5 star hotel! Superb accommodation and looking forward to next time!
Alan & Helen – Cheshire – Sept 08
We had a spacious and warm room overlooking the garden and the bird feeders. The book of birds in the room helped with identification and we saw the red headed woodpecker three times! The variety of drinks supplied was much appreciated – Green Tea with Pineapple – lovely. We appreciated the warm welcome to a warm house. Everything was of a very high quality – goose down bed covers were a special joy. Many thanks for all your efforts on our behalf. Thank you and good wishes for your venture.
Alan and Lynette – Berlin – Aug 08

We got lost!! But Heather guided us through the beautiful countryside and was so friendly, welcoming and helpful that we couldn’t help but want to return. Great Food, Fresh produce and a place we will return to one day.

To date the best B&B I have stayed in, and being able to bring my dogs with me made all the difference. Ty and Blaze loved their walks and this ideal setting. Will come again.
Lez – Northants – June 08
Very nice B&B. Great Breakfast and lovely scenery. 8 bird species on the feeders in 15 minutes – not bad! Unfortunately no badgers this time, maybe next time…..!
Lucy & Alex – Aberdeen – May 08
Am lost for words – this is a wonderful place – hope we have the chance to return see how the garden has progressed.
Mr & Mrs Knackstedt – Australia – May 08
Wish we had stayed longer! Fantastic House, rooms & location. Our Springer Spaniel Tilly was made very welcome and enjoyed a refreshing dip in the river on arrival. Fortunately Heather stepped in with a dog towel to dry her off! Breakfast was lovely and set us up well for the rest of the day. We will certainly be stopping here again. Many Thanks.
The Tullochs – Essex – May 08
Sad that my couple of days stay had to be on a business nature. I could see myself exploring the awaiting countryside (bet there’s some fishing out there somewhere). The hospitality was above and beyond, didn’t meet John but Heather did a very good job (more like being at home) till next time farewell!
Terry – Birmingham – May 08
Such lovely house an beautiful surroundings. Unfortunately our stay was much too short but maybe we’ll get back one day.

We have had a really good time, beautiful surroundings, beautiful house and a comfy nights sleep. The snow was just an added bonus for me!
Cathy & Matt – Nottingham – Apr 08
What can we say except thank you for an excellent stay. We love the house, the garden, the views, the surrounds and the bedrooms were just the best, so comfy – (I love the superking size!). The food was delicious and your hospitality was out of this world. We’ll just so be coming back!! Thanks Mille fois.
Caroline and Nil - Belgium – Mar 08
