A peaceful and romantic haven bursting with character; renovated from a former mill and designed for couples and their four-legged friends.
Designed for couples and their four-legged friends, this 19th-century former mill is a peaceful haven bursting with character set in the heart of rural southern Scotland. Walk for miles through the scenic countryside, visit stunning national parks and discover pretty villages or bustling market towns in this beautiful region, before coming home to your open fire and galleried bedroom.
Annexed to the owner’s home, this riverside stone-built retreat is full of rustic charm with stone feature walls, exposed wooden beams and a galleried bedroom accessed via a bespoke spiral staircase. There is a lovely, welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive, with thoughtful touches such as art supplies, bedside diffusers and freshly baked bread prepared for your arrival. Settle down in front of the roaring wood burner that's sure to be a hit with furry family members. Head outside to the beautiful, fully enclosed garden surrounded by hills and fields, and let your canine companions explore the area whilst you relax and watch the river flow by. In the evening, light the outdoor candles, fire up the BBQ or the chiminea and snuggle up in the blankets provided with Fido by your side. At the end of the day, follow the spiral staircase up to the inviting galleried bedroom. Featuring Velux roof windows that you can open up to watch the sky above, listen to the calming sounds of the river flowing by from the comfort of a king-size bed dressed in luxury linen.
With many scenic walks and cycle routes from the doorstep, you and your hounds can roam for hours without seeing anyone except sheep and their lambs. The historic village of Langholm, birthplace of renowned engineer Thomas Telford, is 6 miles away. Here, you will find two excellent butchers and a couple of local pubs serving home-cooked food where Rover will be warmly welcomed at the bar. Just over the border to England, Kielder Forest Park (29 miles) is home to the largest woodland in England as well as the UK’s biggest man-made lake and provides miles and miles of dog-friendly walking trails.
