This charming wooden cabin nestled in the Clyde Valley is located on a bustling farm, offering a tranquil base for exploring Lanarkshire and the Scottish Borders. As well as alpacas, goats and sheep, the owners have seven dogs and encourage guests to bring their own canine companions along. With one king-size bed, the sweet property is wonderful for a solo traveller or a couple keen for a peaceful Scottish holiday.

This delightful cabin, one of six in the same style, boasts a minimalist decor that lets the natural wood stand out. A subtle animal theme creates a playful and welcoming atmosphere that’s in keeping with your farmyard surroundings. The flooring is cushioned and non-slip, to ensure your four-legged friends feel at ease.

Inside, you’ll have a central open-plan living area with a sofa and a Smart TV for quiet evenings in. The kitchenette comes fully equipped for whipping up delicious meals, and there’s a dining table for hearty breakfasts and suppers. When you’re ready to retire for the night, sink into the comfy king-size bed. A roomy wet room completes the indoor space.

Step outdoors to dine in the fresh air or immerse yourself in the private hot tub for an indulgent treat. You're also welcome to enjoy the shared lawn that surrounds the farm's six cabins, which overlooks a large, unfenced pond. You can rent the indoor BBQ hut if you fancy a sizzle-up and there’s also a secure, off-lead exercise field available, offering the perfect setting for your pets to roam freely.

The lodge serves as a serene starting point for discovering the local landscapes, inviting you to lace up your hiking boots and venture into the nearby forest trails.

Climb up the summit of the nearby Tinto Hill (8 miles) to enjoy rewarding views over the Clyde Valley, or try your hand at trout fishing in one of the local lochs at Tinto (4.5 miles)

Biggar, a historic market town 5.5 miles away, is a wonderful place to while away a few hours, whether you fancy sipping ale in a local pub or enjoying a meal in one of the town’s many eateries. There’s also a museum for lapping up some knowledge about the area’s archaeological and social history.

Clyde Wildlife Reserve (11 miles), famous for its spectacular waterfalls, is just one of the local spots on the popular Clyde Valley Tourist Route, which is a fantastic way to discover more about this area’s countryside, wildlife, castles and industrial heritage. The reserve is wonderful for spotting wildlife such as bats, badgers and birds, so don’t forget your binoculars. The pretty Lanark Loch (10 miles), which has a 1-mile walk around it, is also on the route.

At Chatelherault Country Park (20 miles), discover an 18th-century hunting lodge and make the most of the gorge views and picnic areas. Seeking more town than country? Drive the 29 miles to Edinburgh for an action-packed day exploring Arthur’s Seat, the wonderful castle and an excellent selection of shops and restaurants.

The Duck House is an excellent little cottage in a nice scenic and rural area. My partner and I loved how it was centered around dogs and loved how community driven everyone is. The Duck and chicken eggs where amazing and we loved the recommendation to visit the milk hut. The owner were lovely and provided a lovely weekend away

What an amazing place. The duck house felt like a TARDIS, small outside but spacious inside. Everything you could need. Green credentials stand out, but with do much comfort. The two puli dogs that accompanied us had a great time. Plenty to keep them busy on site and when out and about were made welcome everywhere. Lots of places to go to and advenRead moretures to have. The hot tub was brilliant, great to relax in after a day of exploring. Something for everybody available locally whatever your ability. Hide
