Sometimes at Cottages.com we walk into properties and are immediately impressed; this was one those properties. Located just south of the historic ’Royal Burgh of Lanark’ which itself is steeped in history, is this gorgeous property in the small area known as Sandilands.

Set adjacent to a former railway line at the old Sandilands Railway Station outside Lanark and a 30 minute walk to The Falls of Clyde, close to the World Heritage site at New Lanark and in a rural setting, a few miles inland from the Cairn Lodge services on the M74. The property is best described as an ’upside down’ house, a design implemented to take full advantage of the view over the countryside on the opposite side of the road.

The house, which was built in 2022 and completed in autumn, features an open-plan kitchen and dining room on the ground floor, which has been fitted and equipped to high standards. A range cooker will give guests the chance to prepare a ’Masterchef’ style meal for one another and enjoy at the nice dining table. The dishwasher will take care of the mucky bits after dinner so guests can retire upstairs to where the living area and bedroom are located. French doors from the living area led to an elevated decking area. The shower room on the ground floor completes the accommodation and in tune with the rest of the presentation in the property has been finished and presented to high standards. Parking is provided on site in a guest car park.

    What an amazing place. Beautiful quiet location, quirky property perfect for the two of us. Had everything we need and a very helpful host who pointed us in the direction of places to visit on our three day stay.Not our first visit to this part of Scotland but definitely one of the nicest properties we have stayed in.

    We had a fantastic stay at the railway sleeper! The house was so cosy and warm, and the perfect place to relax, especially with the hot tub. The surrounding countryside was lovely - great location to walk to the falls of Clyde. Alan was so welcoming and friendly and gave us lots of recommendations for things to see/places to go. A really fab place to stay!
