About this property

Morton Mains Steading Cottage is a true gem of a cottage with amazing lake views, stunning surroundings and the Lowther Hills on your back door step! Situated amidst farm buildings near the charming village of Thornhill, Dumfries and Galloway, this property is not one to be missed. As you enter this special abode, you will be greeted by a spacious kitchen/diner which is fully equipped for all your culinary needs. Enjoy socialising together while you whip up your meals, then discuss what adventures are up next once you're all round the table. Adjacent to this, you will find a handy utility room housing a washing machine, perfect for those longer stays. The sitting room, boasting a warming woodburning stove and Smart TV, offers an inviting space to unwind after a day of exploration, with views out to the garden enhancing the serene atmosphere. The ground floor also hosts a well-presented double bedroom, complete with an en-suite featuring a walk-in shower, basin, heated towel rail, and WC, as well as delightful views of the garden. A well-kept single room provides a snug spot for a relaxing night's rest. And a convenient cloakroom with a basin and WC completes the ground floor layout. As you ascend to the first floor, you will find two further bedrooms. The king-size bedroom offers more views of the garden and lake, and a feature fireplace adds a touch of character and the bunk room also benefits from views of the lake behind the garden. Completing the interior of this charming cottage is a bathroom with a bath, shower-over, basin, and WC, ensuring all guests have ample facilities. Outside, the front enclosed garden with a lawn, furniture, and barbecue invites you to enjoy alfresco dining or simply relax and soak up the tranquil surroundings and wildlife. There are a host of activities in the local area starting with fantastic walks and cycling routes, fishing and even wild swimming. Make your way to the end of the woodland trails to enjoy some fishing on Morton Loch or take in the beautiful ruins of Morton Castle. For a great view of the province, head to southern upland way where you can take in the sights of the Lowther Hills. If you fancy something to marvel at then a serene outing awaits at the imposing Drumlanrig Castle & Gardens, which is just a short drive away. A little journey can take you within the walls of this impressive sandstone castle for a peek into the grandeur of bygone eras, while outside, the meticulously maintained gardens offer a wonderful blend of manicured grounds and wild woodland to explore. For a truly out-of-this-world experience, make a trip to the Crawick Multiverse, a unique outdoor art installation representing the cosmos. Whether you wish to delve into the mysteries of the universe or simply enjoy a leisurely walk in a fascinating, landscaped space, the Multiverse offers a day out with a difference. Literary enthusiasts will love a trip to Robert Burns Ellisland Museum & Farm, where you can immerse yourself in the life and works of Scotland's national bard. Pack your active wear to enjoy all Dumfries and Galloway has to offer, with scenic cycle routes, or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll with your furry companion. Whatever your preference, Morton Mains Steading Cottage is an ideal base for your Scottish adventure.

Torbryan is an ancient farming hamlet nestled in the heart of the South Devon countryside yet not far from Totnes, Dartmoor and the beautiful beaches of the English Riviera. Torbryan has its own 13th century pub and an even older church. Ipplepen, the neighbouring village, is only one mile away and has a small supermarket, a post office and a pub. Both villages of Denbury and Broadhempston are within 2 miles and also have pubs and village shops. Torbryan provides a great base for a cottage holiday and is ideally situated for exploring Devon and the South West. Totnes, only five miles from the village, sits beside the picturesque River Dart, and is steeped in history with its many original Elizabethan buildings. A few excursions from Totnes not to be missed include the breathtakingly beautiful river trip to Dartmouth and the steam train journey along the Primrose Line to Buckfastleigh. Dartington Hall, with its beautiful grounds, is nearby, hosting many music festivals each year. Dartmoor National Park can be reached within 30 minutes' drive of Ipplepen, offering 365 square miles of rugged moorland peppered with isolated villages. Ideal for getting away from it all, walking and simply gazing at the incredible views of South Devon, Torbryan provides the perfect base for your next escape.
