Create memories of a lifetime
Escape from everyday life. Unwind. Reconnect. Have a digital detox. Take full advantage of the countryside and your surroundings. Because a holiday at Craigduckie means an escape from the ordinary.
With our lochside position and rolling hills, you can sit back and watch the birds fly and wildlife live. Bring your wellies and enjoy life on a farm.
The farming way of life
Whether you love animals or you’re curious about the ins and outs of running a farm - or you just really want to sit on a tractor - you can do it all at Craigduckie.
We will give you a tour of our farm, you’ll get to feed the chickens, count the sheep - and do our best to answer all your questions. You won’t need to be counting sheep to get a goodnight’s sleep!
“Katie kindly gave us a tour of the farm (and it’s John Deere) and allowed us to meet and help feed the newborn lambs. It was a lovely experience and one my son won’t forget. We hope to make it an annual trip!“
Adventures for the kids
Get back to basics without technology and enjoy building a den, go on a bug hunt, or go on an adventure with a picnic! There are some great walks from the huts which normally entail mud, puddles, ponds, streams and trees - I bet you don't come back clean and that's what its all about. We joke that our children are 'feral' but they simply love the space that they have to run around. We are a mile from the main road up our farm road and as long as you aren't chasing sheep, feel free to run.
“The boys really enjoyed the tour of the farm and meeting Katie and her family. Feeding the pigs, sitting in the tractor and walking in the field with the lambs they were in their element!”
The memories you make are up to you
Things to do locally
The formal Royal Burgh of Dunfermline is our nearest town (2 miles). Once the capital of Scotland, Dunfermline is a great place to visit if you are interested in history.
