The Cottage
The cottage was
originally a farm-workers bothy. It later became home to the
local water bailiff who would have been able to keep an eye out
for poachers without straying too far from his fireside. More
recently it has been home to a nationally-respected gallery specialising
in ceramics and fine crafts.
It has now been restored, extended
and transformed into a wonderfully spacious holiday home, full
of light and colour and with great attention being paid to
detail and the use of natural materials. It comfortably accommodates
four people, with ample room for a cot in the large, en suite,
double bedroom. It is, of course, centrally heated throughout
with additional warmth and comfort from the wood-burning stove.
The cottage has its own secluded garden and a
stile leads directly onto grazing land alongside the burn. Our
guests are welcome to wander through the farm and woodlands – children might
like to picnic near or paddle in the burn.
