Set in peaceful woodlands in the surroundings of a working farm, this dog-friendly studio ‘hobbit style’ cabin enjoys lovely views over the open fields. Situated on a working farm, this lodge offers a peaceful base for exploring the Scottish Borders and surrounding Lanarkshire towns and villages. Make the most of this area by donning your walking boots and exploring the local forest walks and the shorter woodland walks around the farm to meet the alpacas and other farm animals. Less than 5 miles away, you can spend a relaxing day trout fishing at Tinto Hill or if you have the energy you can climb to the top and be rewarded with the most stunning views across the Clyde Valley and beyond. For local shops, cafes and restaurants, visit the nearby historic market town of Biggar which is less than 6 miles away.

Step inside a beautiful open-plan living space that not only has been designed with your canine friends in mind but also creates the perfect couples retreat for relaxing and planning your next day’s adventures. The kitchenette is well-equipped to create tasty meals and there is a table and chairs for dining together. A Smart TV and a cosy sofa provide a wonderful space to unwind each evening after fun-filled days. When it's time for sleep, you will find a comfortable king-size bed. Completing the property is a spacious wet room.

Heading outside the cabin, you can enjoy a spot of al fresco dining or just simply treat yourself to a lazy evening gazing at the stars as you soak in the private hot tub. The enclosed area outside has artificial turf and there is also a shared grassed area surrounding the farm’s six cabins overlooking a large, unfenced pond that you are also welcome to enjoy. An indoor BBQ hut is also available for guests to hire which can be organised directly with the owners. A dog-friendly off-lead exercise field is available – perfect for your pups to run freely.

Overall the Duck House was a fantastic little cabin for the week. It was nice and clean inside with a well enough equipped kitchen area. The hot tub is fantastic and the location of the property is ideal for getting the train to Edinburgh as its only a 10 minute drive from the station.

We were looking for a quiet break that had the option of a dog. This came up and I believe we couldn't have found much better. Cabin was clean, quirky, perfect size(for 2 adults and dog) quiet and the hot tub was a great addition. Drove to Biggar(10 min drive) had a nice walk, some lunch worth a visit. The farm has good options for walking the dog.Read more All in all it was exactly what we were looking for. I'm not one who posts often at anytime, but I feel in this case it's deserved. Hide

The two puli dogs that accompanied us had a great time. Plenty to keep them busy on site and when out and about were made welcome everywhere. Lots of places to go to and advenRead moretures to have.
