Escape with your special someone to this pretty period cottage in Newton of Falkland. Sleeping two people in one bedroom and welcoming two canine companions, it’s perfect for romantic couples in search of a quirky detached cottage to call home while they discover central Scotland together. Spend happy days walking your pups in Lomond Hills Regional Park, and in the evening, come home to your blissful retreat to share some wine and watch the stars come out in your private enclosed garden.
Pull into your private parking spot (there’s room for two cars) and step inside your single-storey cottage. Exposed stone walls and wood panelling welcome you into the hall, where there’s plenty of space to store your dog walking gear. Head through to the light and bright lounge and you won’t be able to resist having a little fun on the self-playing baby grand piano. When it’s time to eat, cook up a storm in the bright and cheerful kitchen, and then share a romantic meal for two at one of the two dining areas in the kitchen or lounge. Alternatively, step outside into the garden and indulge in an al fresco feast with your sweetie as your pups run free in the enclosed space. When the day is done, you’ll find a spacious king-size bedroom calling your name. A stylish bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the layout.
Tails are sure to wag when you do the 4-mile circular hike from Falkland (1 mile) to Maspie Den. Along the way you’ll discover hidden waterfalls, bridges and caves – and if you’re lucky – the occasional deer. Back in Falkland, head to Falkland Palace, a stunning Renaissance palace that was once a retreat for Scottish kings and queens. Your pups are welcome to join you in the palace gardens.
