Welcome to Whitecroft Farm and the beautifully secluded holiday cottages of Myrtle and Rose. Nestled toward the top of a small valley with views toward the Solway Firth and The Lake District beyond, Whitecroft Farm is a traditional Dumfries and Galloway small holding.
For those that know it, Dumfries and Galloway is a rare gem of quiet roads, friendly people and stunning scenery. It’s these qualities that make it shine and make those visiting for the first time wonder why you haven’t been here before.

‘We had a wonderful time here. Beautiful and very peaceful location on a small farm. The owners Hilary and Mark were always friendly and helpful and made us feel very much at home. The cottage is well equipped and cosy, and we enjoyed the welcome basket, which included fresh eggs, milk, and local beer. Lots to do locally and a very nice part of the world to visit. From feeding the baby lambs at the farm, to walking by the sea and stargazing at night – we had a wonderful time and would certainly come back to this cottage. A home away from home. Thank you!’

This afternoon we said a very fond farewell to another 3 of our gorgeous Blacknose Swiss Valais wether lambs, Whitecroft Miso, Whitecroft Munro and Whitecroft McVitie. These wonderful boys are going to a great new home, shared with 40 Alpacas! Have fun with these special 3, Clare, Lee, Bonnie and family! 2 more pure bred Blacknose Swiss Valais wethers left ... only to go to the best possible homes with a CPH number ... twins, Whitecroft Magic and Whitecroft Merlin - 5 months old, very, very friendly, love a cuddle and learning to walk on a slip lead! All our lambs are raised with special care and are much loved. They have brilliant fleece and I recently made an amazing wet felted rug with their Daddy's fleece., and these guys are sheared twice a year! DM if you're interested in Magic and Merlin! ...

We drove that road it’s really amazing
Excellent productive day yesterday turning our great Whitecroft King Kong's fleece into an amazing wet felted rug! So many thanks for the guided support and extreme patience to Wendy Eden Textiles Studio for teaching me how to do this, and so much more! Thanks also to Steph for her skill and patience in beginning me on the path to card and spin my own wool from our Coloured Ryelands ... learning on drop spindle initially, but who knows where this might end up! This is following on from my peg-loom rug making a couple of weeks ago, partly using Blacknose Swiss Valais wool from Whitecroft King Kong, and also some of our fleece from our Coloured Ryeland ewes, (Bambi, Beauty, Cocoa-Brownie and Drambuie). It is a truly wonderful thing to be using some of my sheep's own fleece from Whitecroft Farm, Myrtle and Rose Cottages to produce marvellous things! ... See MoreSee Less
