Summary: Ideal for a really peaceful holiday, this cottage regularly attracts walkers, wildlife watchers and those who simply enjoy tranquillity. South facing with its own fenced garden, it shares three secluded acres with our own home and the tiny 'Lazy Duck' bunkhouse, and looks out across mown grass to a burn with ponds and ducks and through pinewoods towards heather moors and mountains. A number of traditional features give this cottage its distinctive character, including an efficient open fire for which we supply logs and peat.
