For couples seeking a rural retreat away from the hustle and bustle of modern life, this cosy barn conversion set on a working smallholding offers the perfect retreat. Spend the days enjoying long countryside walks and nights stargazing from your private hot tub. The historic market town of Moffat (8.5 miles) is within easy reach with a range of speciality shops and art galleries to browse. Further afield the bustling town of Dumfries (13 miles) boasts ancient buildings, riverside walks and pubs and restaurants serving local produce.

Enjoying a peaceful rural location, your single-storey barn conversion offers stylish contemporary accommodation in a wonderful countryside setting. Decorated in neutral tones and with windows looking out onto towering trees and open fields, there is a sense of peace and tranquillity throughout the property.

Enter your cottage from the farm courtyard and step through into the light and airy open-plan living space. Rustle up tasty meals in the stylish kitchen area to share at the centrally positioned dining table. After supper, light the wood burner and sink into the plush sofa for an evening of quiet conversation or TV. When it’s time for bed, freshen up in the spacious wet room before snuggling up in your cosy king-size bed and drifting off to sleep.

On balmy evenings, share an alfresco meal at the outdoor seating area, watching the stars appear overhead or soothe aching limbs in your private hot tub.

Step onto the Annandale Way straight from your front door and hike to the dramatic hollow of the Devil's Beef Tub, site of ancient clan gatherings and 13th century cattle rustling. Stroll along quiet roads and bridleways exploring the local countryside or head to the Moffat Hills for a ramble through the tranquil landscape. Further afield, make sure you pack your camera for a walk to the spectacular cascades of Grey Mare's Tail (16 miles) plunging 60 feet into the valley below.

Moffat (8.5 miles) is a historic market town with shops, restaurants and galleries galore. Discover the history of the town in the interesting Moffat Museum or spot dragonflies and butterflies as you stroll the ponds of Moffat Community Nature Reserve. Hire a swan boat to sail across the water at Station Park and make sure you try some famous Moffat toffee.

Hop in the saddle for an exhilarating ride through the Forest of Ae (10 miles) where you will find the 7stanes mountain bike trails. Hurtle down narrow trails with steep descents and big air jumps on the red and orange runs, or for a more sedate forest adventure there are green and blue trails suitable for all. If you prefer foot to pedal, then there are numerous waymarked trails through the towering trees leading to glorious vistas and tranquil rivers.

The Bothy and the hosts were really lovely. The cottage is spotless, well equipped, comfy bed, beautiful view, and large hot tub. What more could you ask for.

We have enjoyed many hot breaks over the years but this is the 1st time we've returned to one and we will be back. It was our home from home, comfy, cosy, peaceful & quiet. It's handy for exploring the surrounding area too with shops, places to eat, points of interest, etc. The hot tub is sheltered private & well placed for star gazing (if the clouRead moreds allow). The owners are lovely & on hand if you need anything but otherwise do not intrude on your break. We look forward to our next break. Hide

This is a lovely comfortable property. The bed is one of the most comfortable Ive ever slept in; excellent heating and reclining sofa. Its a very rural area which means lovely open landscape and pretty views, but no pubs/restaurants/shops nearby (not much effort to go to Moffat for those).

Autumn/winter stays will need to be for outdoor activities or relaxation rather than visiting. Hide
