The Lodge, Upper Woodburn

This warm, wooden-clad cottage sits in beautiful gardens and woodland at the foot of the Campsie hills. The double-height living area with wood-burning stove leads onto an open plan kitchen and dining area. Also downstairs is a single room and a room with twin beds that zip together into a king-sized bed if requested. The family bathroom has a separate shower and bath. Upstairs is a double bedroom with en suite. The cottage has ramp access and an accessible bathroom and welcomes a well-behaved pet.

Outside is a garden area which is part of a larger woodland estate, which you are welcome to explore, with beautiful burn and bluebell wood. The area around is gorgeous rural countryside at the foot of the Campsies, with fantastic walking and cycling on the doorstep, but is also close to Glasgow and 10 minutes drive from Croy station where trains every half-hour will take you to Edinburgh. It is well placed for exploring central Scotland including Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, and exploring further afield.
