At Ghillie's you can enjoy beautiful unspoiled views, your own extensive enclosed garden, and natural woodland on your doorstep.

We can comfortably sleep 6 people, with the option of 2 additional pull down beds if required.
Come and enjoy the natural beauty of this lovely area in total comfort.

Further afield lie Carlisle (60 miles), Edinburgh(70 miles) and Glasgow (65 miles).

The cottage enjoys an idyllic, South facing position with it's own large garden, and lies within our own farmland with the farmhouse being half a mile away. We would like guests to feel free to walk over the farmland without restriction (pets being kept on a lead near any livestock). Farm tours can also be arranged.
