Step inside this cosy cottage to find contemporary country-style interiors and a warm welcome. Unlace your walking boots or slip off your wellies in the hall before heading through to the lounge/diner for a little downtime. Settle on the comfortable seating to catch up on your favourite programme on TV or enjoy a couple of chapters of your latest novel. Head through to the modern kitchen to make cups of tea to sip with locally bought treats such as Scottish shortbread or traybakes. The contemporary-style kitchen has been equipped with everything you will need to help you cater for yourselves during your stay. When you are ready to retire for the night, head back to the hall to find your two inviting bedrooms. These include a double and a twin. There is also a family shower room where you can refresh yourself before and after your trips out.
