If you’re seeking a pet-friendly holiday in Bonnie Scotland, stay at this gorgeous wooden cabin where you’ll have alpacas, sheep, goats and seven dogs as your neighbours. It’s located on a working farm and surrounded by fields and a lake, with plenty of natural beauty spots to explore in the nearby area. With one king-size bed, this sweet home is fantastic for a peaceful getaway as a solo traveller or couple, with up to four canine chums also welcome to join you.

Cosy, homely and quirky, this stylish dwelling is constructed solely of wooden panels for an alpine-inspired atmosphere. The inside has a minimalistic style with a playful animal theme that references the farmyard setting. Created with your four-legged pals in mind, the property features padded, anti-skid floors so your dogs feel happy and comfortable during their stay.

Everything is on the one floor in this welcoming holiday home, which offers open-plan living which is perfectly suited to a romantic break. The fully-equipped kitchen, although dinky, is ideal for prepping delicious meals, to be savoured at the dining table. When your legs are tired from hours of walking, you’ll love sinking into the sofa for a couple of hours of easy entertainment on the Smart TV. At one end of the room, there’s a cosy king-size bed where you can retire for the night. The wet room features a roomy shower for freshening up each morning.

Outside, you'll find a secure area laid with artificial turf and furnished with seating, in addition to a private hot tub that offers panoramic views of the open fields and forests. Your cabin is one of six situated on the farm, all encircled by a generous expanse of grassland with vistas of an open, unfenced pond that you are free to enjoy. An indoor BBQ hut is available for rent directly from the owners.

Whether you fancy long walks or gentle strolls, challenging cycle rides or peaceful drives through the countryside, you’ll find so much to do nearby.

You may fancy a pub lunch in the historic market town of Biggar (5.5 miles), which offers amenities like shops and restaurants. There’s also a local museum where you can learn more about life in Upper Clydesdale from prehistoric times onwards.

If you fancy a gentle hike, head up to the summit at Tinto Hill (8 miles) and soak up the 360-degree views over the Clyde Valley at the top. The 4-mile route is easy to follow, and the round trip should take about three hours.

There are plenty of appealing natural sites nearby, such as Lanark Loch (10 miles) and the delightful Falls of Clyde Wildlife Reserve (11 miles). Both these locations are on the Clyde Valley Tourist Route, which is worth checking out for ideas when you’re deciding what to do.

Chatelherault Country Park (20 miles), another location on the route, is the site of an 18th-century hunting lodge and hundreds of acres of woodland you can explore. It’s home to majestic 600-year-old oaks and a fantastic 24m gorge with Duke’s Bridge crossing over it.

The cabin for its size was very comfortable. No room for bedside table at side of beds but it wasnt a great problem. Small induction hob, no washing machine. Great shower room. Only one tiny mirror but worked out that it was because in was a timber cabin (we were on holiday once before and the sun shining on a mirror started a small fire on a veluxRead more window). So perhaps its because of safety regs. Great peace and tranquillity. Just what we needed Good fields to exercise ones dogs Hide

The lodges are small but perfectly formed. There is everything you need. The enclosed garden kept the dogs safe, we used the hot tub every evening. The surrounding countryside was beautiful and the dogs loved the walks in the forest. With the Scottish weather the drying room was very useful. We will return.
