Property code: 91249

This cabin in Southern Scotland is perfect for a couple who wants to treat themselves and their dogs to a special holiday. The property is positioned within the grounds of a working farm, where the owners themselves have seven dogs, so you know your pooch is going to be well looked after. You’ll be well-situated to explore the beautiful countryside and historic towns of Lanarkshire and the Scottish Borders, meaning that whatever you chose to do in your leisure time, it’s sure to be relaxing. There are many walks in the area, or you can stay close to home and meet the resident sheep and alpacas. Visit the historic market town of Biggar (5.5 miles) for local shops, cafes, and other eateries or if you fancy going further afield, why not head to Edinburgh which is 30 miles away for a treasure trove of shops, bars, restaurants and tourist attractions?

Entering this cabin, you will find that the open-plan lounge/kitchen is the hub of the home. It’s a great place for settling down after energetic days or morning chats about what plans you have for the rest of your stay. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you will need to create a hearty breakfast or take a seat at the dining table and enjoy a romantic meal for two. Once dinner is done, hunker down in front of the Smart TV or grab a book and finish a chapter with the views of the open fields as your companion. From this area, a door leads to a spacious king-size bedroom which, in turn, leads to a wet room. This property has been designed with dogs in mind and even has special cushioned, non-slip floors installed.

Outside, you have a choice of spaces. You can wander the shared grassy area which overlooks the unfenced pond or hire the indoor BBQ area to have a special romantic dinner. Alternatively, you have your own enclosed garden with artificial turf and a private hot tub overlooking the open fields and woodlands. There is also an off-lead exercise field for dogs.

An excellent site. The Alpaca Barn was comfortable, clean, cosy and well-equipped. The hot tub was brilliant. A good position for visiting local places, and both Glasgow and Edinburgh were reachable with ease. Beautiful countryside. A lovely working farm.

I have now stayed 3 times and I absolutely love the whole experience. The cabin is always spotlessly clean with everything needed for a restful and relaxing time away. One of the bonuses is that my dog is as welcome as me and there are areas for all the dogs to run freely and safely. She absolutely loves it which makes my stay all the more happy.

Excellent accommodation, in an excellent location. We had our dog with us and the fenced area around the property was great for him to wander in and out from without any worries for us, especially when we were in the hot tub.
