Charming period cottage perfect for a romantic getaway within rural surround

Relax inside or enjoy your morning coffee outside while soaking in wonderful valley views

Go walking or cycling at the nearby Tinto Hill, Culter Fell and Crosscryne

Property code: 82923

This charming period stone-built cottage, perfect for a cosy romantic retreat, is just 1.5 miles from the Royal Burgh of Biggar and nestled amid beautiful countryside with scenic valley views.

Enjoy a romantic stay at this stone cottage that is situated just 1.5 miles from the Scottish market town of Biggar and takes in far-reaching views across South Lanarkshire. Spend time in the town, with its array of independent shops, restaurants, activities and attractions. Head out from the one-bedroom abode to follow hiking trails and cycle routes. Stroll through the Clyde Valley or the Southern Upland Hills then return to the traditional-style cottage, which sleeps two people and also welcomes one canine companion, to sit out in the sunshine with a glass of wine or in front of a romantic film for a cosy night in.

 

Tear yourself away from the views before entering this attractive Scottish cottage to find comfortable accommodation to suit you and your loved one. Leave your jackets, walking boots and backpacks in the hall and head on through into the spacious, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Settle on the soft seating with a cup of tea and a piece of Dundee cake to discuss your day and plan tomorrow’s adventure. Watch the Smart TV for a while, perhaps, or enjoy your favourite tunes through the Bluetooth speaker, then head through to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Dine together by the window as you gaze out across your scenic surroundings.

 

Climb a few stairs up to the king size bedroom when it’s time to turn in for the night. Have a bath or shower when you wake in the morning then prepare a hearty breakfast to set you both up for the day.

 

Enjoy breakfast out in the sunshine whenever the weather is warm enough. Look out across the countryside from the patio by day and up at the starry skies by night. Find there is space to store cycles safely at the cottage and plenty of parking as well.
