  • A family and dog friendly lodge located on a working farm
  • Farm shop and gin distillery on-site
  • Situated less than 30 miles to both Glasgow and Edinburgh
Property code: 91829

Located at the end of a private track on a working cattle and sheep farm, this family-friendly lodge is the perfect place for families to stay who love to explore the outdoors. Set in a beautiful rural location, fantastic forestry trails and a rich mining history may be found everywhere around the farm as you step out of your door to explore the lovely surroundings. Children will also love the freedom of running around the open fields and exploring the local farm; the local tracks also make it an ideal spot for keen off-road cyclists. There are local amenities nearby but there is a well-stocked farm shop onsite where you can buy beautiful local produce as well as a gin distillery where you are welcome to visit and sample some of the local favourites. In the spring help feed the lambs or, if you want a day of culture and entertainment go to Glasgow (27.5 miles) or Edinburgh (32.1 miles), both of which are nearby and provide fantastic shops, restaurants, and nightlife.

As you enter the lodge, there is a handy utility room on your right with a washing machine and space for your coats and boots before you enter the spacious lounge area with comfortable seats, Smart TV, cosy wood burner, and access out to the enclosed garden. The kitchen area has everything you need to cook up a lovely meal for the family and a cosy bed for your canine friend. There is a dining area where you can enjoy family breakfasts or an evening meal while planning the rest of your stay. Down the hallway, you will find three bedrooms, two doubles, one with an en-suite shower room, a single bedroom and the family bathroom completes the property.

There is an enclosed garden with patio overlooking a maturing orchard where you can kick back and relax after a day's activities.

We had the best time at the Lodge. It's so well equipped with plenty of room inside and out.

The lodge is in a great location, with beautiful views across the farmland! We loved the farm shop and were able to meet some lambs which was amazing. Note: we booked based on there being an enclosed garden/patio for our two dogs and two young children but this isn't actually the case. The dogs had to be tied up/on a lead at all times. Luckily we hRead moread brought a free standing baby gate, which we used to block the top of the balcony stairs and stop kids or dogs from getting outside unattended. Hide
