The Hideout - Owls Nest

Retreat to this enticing, one-bedroom abode, set in enchanting countryside, close to Biggar in the Scottish Borders. Immerse yourselves in the incredible country views from the stylish, light-filled cabin, which sleeps two guests and could be perfect for a couple seeking a romantic getaway away from their busy lives. Gaze out towards picturesque Tinto Hill from the sun deck; take long walks through the scenic Southern Uplands and enjoy your proximity to bustling Biggar, with its shops, restaurants and places of interest.

Open the door on to this inviting holiday home, with its under-floor heating and chic, modern interior, to find bright, open-plan living in a studio-style lounge/kitchen/diner/bedroom. Unpack the fresh produce you have sourced at farmers’ markets and in local shops in the kitchen area and make yourself a fresh cup of tea to enjoy with the Dundee cake you have bought at a Scottish bakery.

Settle on the soft seating to discuss the adventures of your day; plan your next day of fun together or simply soak up the magnificent views through the great expanses of glass. Open the French doors when the weather is warm enough to bring in a cool breeze. Find a television programme to enjoy on the Smart TV.

Cook up a tasty meal with your locally sourced ingredients and then enjoy a romantic dinner either inside or out at this cabin. Ponder at the table for a while afterwards, simply enjoying the beautiful backdrop of your surroundings.
