Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Carluke, Southern Scotland

The unbridled beauty of South Lanarkshire is yours to explore from this homely cottage. Utterly rural and completely remote, you'll come to appreciate the peace and quiet that this detached property affords and the ample countryside that lies around it for endless walks and bike rides. If it's a city break you prefer, you only need to head to Lanark (4.5 miles) and board a train – you'll reach Glasgow (25 miles) in less than an hour.

A real home-from-home, this single-storey property has been thoughtfully decorated with comfortable, inviting decor and warm tones. Owing to its enviable location on a working sheep farm, you can admire countryside views from every window in the house. Step inside and stop off on the porch, storing coats and boots and leaving the outside world behind.

As you move into your cosy, welcoming house, you'll no doubt begin to feel at home instantly. The lounge is an ever-inviting room with cushy seating, a Smart TV and a wood burner-effect electric fire, the perfect spot for movie nights after mealtimes. Along the hallway, meals can be prepared and enjoyed in the spacious kitchen/diner, a room that also enjoys direct access to the garden.

Notice two bedrooms, both king-size, with exceptionally comfortable beds, ready to welcome you after a long day of hiking or riding. A family bathroom with a double-headed shower completes the abode's offering. You've got plenty of room to relax outdoors when staying here, with the property offering a large, enclosed garden and a furnished patio spot.

Move out onto the patio via the kitchen and enjoy meals and drinks alfresco, staying outside late into the night to admire the dark skies above and a spot of stargazing. Private parking for four cars is also available.
