Thomas Carlyle Cottage

Nestled at the foot of the imposing Southern Uplands and close to the River Nith, this contemporary property is a tranquil retreat for a group of six. Spend days meandering the countryside before soaking away the day in the hot tub.

The quaint village of Thornhill (0.5 miles) has pubs, restaurants, and a couple of shops so you can grab a bite to eat or pick up anything for home-cooked meals. Outdoor activities are in abundance here with several walking and cycling routes accessed from the property and into the surrounding area.

There is also plenty to see and do for history lovers, including Drumlanrig Castle (4 miles) and Robert Burns’ farm, Ellisland (8.5 miles). Take a train that leads through the Lowther Hills and into the old mine workings at Leadhills (19 miles).

Travel up the private driveway to this charming cottage located on a small courtyard with a few other holiday properties. Park up in the private parking spaces and step into the hallway before heading through to the light and bright lounge/diner set underneath a high ceiling.

This space contains a comfortable sofa, a TV, and a four-seater dining table. Just beyond this is the compact kitchen, which has everything you need to create culinary delights for all to enjoy.

One of the bedrooms is located on the ground floor, a twin bedroom, alongside a bathroom. The other bedroom is located on the gallery first floor, which has a super-king-size bed and an en-suite shower room.

Immediately outside is a patio area with garden furniture and a BBQ for al fresco dining, and a bubbling hot tub where you can soak away the day. There are also a sauna and a swimming pool on-site which you can book for exclusive use at an additional charge.
