Luxurious steading located in an idyllic position on a 70-acre working sheep farm. With masses of space and an open-plan layout, it’s ideal for groups or big family getaways.

Escape to this 18th-century farmhouse which exudes style and sophistication. With waterfall walks from your door, spend adventurous days treating your pups to exciting stick-chasing trips before relaxing and socialising back at the bolthole. Steam the night away in the sauna and let little ones play on the swings – there is something for everyone at this inviting cottage which sleeps eight and is great for family reunions with canine companions.

Tails will wag as soon as you arrive at this beautifully decorated home where splashes of colour liven up the space which is flooded with natural light. The open-plan lounge/diner has a trio of sofas with a rug nearby so everyone can get cosy and curl up or sprawl out. Admire the water wheel through the window and fire up the wood burner. Should you fancy some peace and quiet, head upstairs to the studio which sits beneath a vaulted ceiling. The kitchen is light and bright for cooking before you dine at the table or enjoy a feast on the gas BBQ and eat outside where there are swings and an enclosed garden where pups can stretch their legs. The four beautiful bedrooms all boast en-suites with the first-floor bedroom treated to a sauna. There is bike storage and ample off-road parking.

After spotting the local wildlife including red kites, deer and osprey, head out to explore. The falls of Grey Mare’s Tail plunge 60m into the valley and are 6 miles away so you can easily enjoy a waterside hike and a stick chase. Just 2.5 miles away, Moffat has a host of shops, inns, eateries and a museum so you can enjoy tasty treats and family-friendly days out close to home.

Wonderful venue, and just the right level of friendliness. I had it booked for a group of friends, and there was plenty of space so that we didn't feel crowded, but it was still very comfortable to sit round the fire in the evening or round the table for games. We definitely plan to be back.
