Welcome
to The Craig Bed and Breakfast!
The Craig is situated on the outskirts of Castle Douglas. It is a Victorian sandstone villa built in 1898, overlooking the golf course at the rear with views over the countryside beyond.
Comfortable and spacious accommodation in our homely, family run bed
and breakfast. In 2000, after 20 years of farmhouse bed & breakfast,
Jim and I moved
to Castle Douglas where we offer comfortable spacious accommodation in
our homely B&B.
Situated close to the golf course, is an ideal base for touring, walking, golfing, fishing, bird-watching and cycling and only a short walk from the town centre.
