- KKelsey and Dean11/04/2025You feel so specialYou feel so specialWe stayed here at the very beginning of this year (2024). What an incredible property. You feel so special coming in the door and the interior is stunning. The perfect place to take life slow and enjoy looking out onto cold frosty mornings with a hot drink. Darius and Hannah had robes, slippers and towels at the ready and just the thought and care they provided for us was second to none. We are really looking forward to going back and couldn't recommend this place enough. We stayed here at the very beginning of this year (2024). What an incredible property.

Disclaimer: We were incredibly lucky with the weather and it was absolutely stunning. Craigard is the perfect venue for a laid-back small wedding. The facilities and decor are beautiful. The hot tub was a hit with everyone and the location is stunning. We were able to completely curate the day to what we needed and Hannah was on hand throughout the process and on the day to help. She was completely amazing and kind. We hosted our wedding at Craigard in Sept 24 and it was the most perfect venue.
