East Lochhead Cottages

Overview

It is located in beautiful rolling Renfrewshire countryside with views of the nearby Barr Loch. Since purchasing Eastlochhead in 1994 the farm buildings and surroundings have been carefully transformed into attractive award winning self catering cottages. Reflecting Ross's environmental background, environmentally responsible practises were adopted in building works, whilst recycling, composting, energy conservation using local services remain an integral part of the daily routine.
In 2004 and 2006 Ross and Janet's efforts were rewarded by becoming the National Champions for the Hospitable Climates Energy Initiative, and winning a Thistle Award for Sustainable Tourism. Since 2001 East Lochhead has achieved a Gold Level in the Green Tourism Business Scheme.

The Andersons keep Highland Cattle, Jacob Sheep and hens as well as a Shetland Pony, a cat and two dogs. Spring time, with it's lambs and calves can be a rewarding experience for visiting children and adults too if they come from the town.

There are five cottages, each of them differing in size and design, arranged around the courtyard. Careful rehabilitation of the old barns has created high quality accommodation that should meet all the requirements of visitors to East Lochhead. Being in a self-catering cottage, however, does not mean that guests cannot join us for breakfast, lunch or dinner in the main house or, if preferred, in the familiar surroundings of your cottage.
