Take your tufty-pawed pals along with you to this family-friendly lodge in the Glasgow and Clyde Valley. This five-person cabin is perched within a working farm, with an onsite farm shop, gin distillery and several exceptional walking trails available from your front door.
Follow the private track alongside the sheep and cattle to find a beautiful rural lodge nestled within the greenery. Usher your hounds inside and drop your coats and hats down in the handy utility room before parking yourself in the spacious lounge with a cup of tea and a packet of shortbread. On chilly evenings, strike up the wood burner and convene around the Smart TV for films and buttery popcorn, while on balmier nights, venture out into the enclosed garden to savour wee drams of whisky and drink in those fabulous rolling views. Pop down the pups’ dinner before cooking up a family feast in the well-appointed kitchen. When the day is done, make your way to one of three cosy bedrooms: a single bedroom and two doubles, one of which boasts an en-suite shower room.
Stretch your legs for more stick-chasing spots along the exceptional forestry trails and rich mining history available from your front door. Feel free to explore the local farm, taking in the views as you do so and stopping for a top-up shop in the well-stocked farm store onsite. Further afield, Glasgow (27.5 miles) or Edinburgh (32.1 miles) offer incredible restaurants, shopping, Scottish souvenirs, and plenty of activities, such as Arthur’s Seat or ghost tours.
