This stunning converted barn on a quiet working farm is perfect for a family of four and their canine companion seeking a relaxing holiday in Lockerbie, Scotland. This property is every doggy’s dream – a huge house to explore, a lovely garden to do morning stretches, hundreds of miles of unspoilt sandy beaches, and walking trails to sniff out.
Inside, your luxurious open-plan living space offers high-beamed ceilings, social gathering spots and lots of light. Hunker down with some blankets and gaze upon the rolling hills or log in to Netflix and stream a film on the Smart TV. Wake up to the smell of breakfast being cooked in the contemporary kitchen, which you can enjoy leisurely at the central island or out in the sunshine overlooking views of the fields. On the private patio, put your feet up with a wee dram of whisky as you admire the sun coming down or take a dip in the soothing waters of the hot tub. At bedtime, the ground floor king-size beckons weary heads and boasts an en-suite, while the lower ground floor benefits from a double bedroom with an additional single Z bed and another en-suite. This marvellous holiday home also gives guests access to the utility, where a washing machine and tumble dryer can run through sandy dog towels after days on the beach.
Take your happy hound for their morning ramble around Eskrigg Reserve (3.5 miles), a beautiful nature reserve and woodland housing the red squirrel, tawny owl and kingfisher. After your walk, refuel with a hearty pub lunch in the town of Lockerbie, where you’ll also find quaint cafes, shops and independent boutiques. Other attractions include Lochmaben Castle (6.5 miles), Hutton Mote (6 miles) and the city of Dumfries (15 miles).
