Designed for flexibility, this sumptuous accommodation, with its 2-storeyed layout, is excitingly different with double height ceilings, a mezzanine gallery area, an open-flow floor area downstairs and underfloor heating. Upstairs the star-shaped bedroom with its kingsize bed and a single (or 3 singles ) echoes the surprises found everywhere in this light-flooded accommodation. With two luxury bathrooms, each with bath and shower, guests feel pampered. Downstairs an optional luxurious sleeping area with a double bed delights disabled guests who find stairs difficult. The gallery area can sleep a sixth person on a good sofa-bed.
With Scandinavian glazed sliding doors opening onto a small flagstoned courtyard, velux roof windows, solid oak floors and doors, wonderful limestone flagstones, open stairwell and ash staircase with tension wire balustrades, this conversion is bright, white, light and airy.
Featured in an Interiors Magazine, what so impressed the journalist were the personal touches that set this place apart. The metal sculptures, the original artworks, the retention of original fittings blending so well with its modernity, the quality of the detailing and the craftsmanship. And with a kitchen to die for, amazingly well equipped, with solid oak kitchen units and black granite worktop, and plenty of floorspace this cottage encourages you to spend time in the kitchen in Scotland's Year of Food and Drink!
