About this property
For a rural escape in bonnie Scotland, stay at this 18th-century farm cottage, which welcomes six guests and three dogs for holidays with family or friends. It’s set on a large, family-run hill farm, where sheep and cattle have shaped the countryside for generations. Explore the local area on foot or by bike, perhaps stopping in Crawfordjohn (4 miles) for something to eat. Sanquhar has shops, pubs and a restaurant (7.5 miles away). There are plenty of options for fun days out. In Wanlockhead (7 miles), you'll find the Museum of Lead Mining and the Leadhills and Wanlockhead Railway. Crawick Multiverse (7.5 miles) and Drumlanrig Castle and Gardens (18.5 miles) are also great options, while Biggar (20 miles) offers the Museum of Upper Clydesdale and an award-winning puppet theatre. For another outing, visit the Falls of Clyde Visitor Centre and Wildlife Reserve (21 miles).
Before stepping into this charming property, take a moment to admire the surrounding scenery, with views across the glen and the sights and sounds of the working farm. Head inside, kick off your shoes in the vestibule and head down the hallway into the light-filled lounge. Here, plush seating is arranged around a Smart TV and a wood burner, offering the perfect spot for cosy evenings in. When stomachs rumble, the attractive kitchen/diner boasts everything needed for a self-catered stay, including a central island that's perfect for breakfasts and evening tipples. On balmy days, throw open the door leading outside from the kitchen for seamless indoor/outdoor living. At the end of each day away, retire to a choice of three restful bedrooms, the first of which is on the ground floor: a spacious super-king-size bedroom and family bathroom with a shower over the bath. On the first floor, you'll find another super-king-size bedroom and a cosy twin room. All the bedrooms feature TVs for lazy mornings in bed, while a handy ground-floor utility room completes the interior.
Step outside as often as possible to make full use of the generous garden. This enclosed space enjoys beautiful countryside views and invites you to unwind on the patio while children and pets play on the lawn. For indulgent evenings, a private hot tub awaits, along with a fire pit for marshmallow toasting. Completing the offering is private driveway parking for four cars.
