Charming Rural Farmhouse Cottage

Idyllic farmhouse annexe set in the beautiful rolling countryside of South Lanarkshire. Furnished with antiques, quality linens and toiletries, Ampherlaw Farmhouse is all about escaping from your busy lives. You'll feel so relaxed you won't want to leave! Snuggle up by the wood burning stove in fireside chairs and enjoy the views, or explore nearby Edinburgh, Glasgow and the Borders. The generously proportioned rooms include a huge bedroom, incorporating a wood burning stove (a basket of logs and coal are provided in the winter months) and sitting area with fireside chairs; the large ensuite bathroom has a bath, overhead and handheld showers and is equipped with robes and fluffy white towels. The dining room enjoys views over Tinto Hill (a lovely day out) and is furnished with antiques. French doors open onto the patio area where you may sit and enjoy a barbeque. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you will need for your stay. We even provide a welcome hamper of bread, butter, milk and biscuits along with tea, coffee and sugar.

Incredible stay
The stay at Ampherlaw was just amazing. The farmhouse was spotlessly clean, had all amenities and heating. Every thought was given to our comfort and directions with check-in instructions were easy to follow. My partner and I would definitely stay again as the perfect retreat to the peaceful countryside.

Lovely country stay
One of the best stays i've had, beautiful location and the hosts were very friendly. Inside the stay itself was nice and warm perfect for the cold november nights. The bedroom was very cosy with the log burner and armchairs, it felt very homely. It was easy to nip to Edinburgh for the day from here aswell. It was perfect

Where's the heat?
this cottage is lovely. The surrounding countryside is beautiful. But the room containing the sitting area/bedroom was uncomfortably cold. REALLY cold. The wood burner stove was prepped for a fire on my arrival and a basket of wood was at my disposal. But I needed a fire nearly every night after returning from a day of touring and the basket quickly emptied. A "helpful hints" list was provided by the hosts which indicated addiitional wood was available for purchase from them. When I approached the male host about more wood, he replied the cottage "is listed as self-catering". I was on my own for wood. His tone was such that I knew not to pursue the issue or any OTHER issue that might arise. BTW, most of the nights were below freezing. On the other hand, the female host was very cooperative--except she seemed to be around less of the time than the male host. I booked for two weeks and packed clothing with the intention of being able do laundry...but the clothes washer didn't function properly and no manual was available for it--although all the other kitchen appliances did have manuals available. Found myself getting online to determine the error code flashing on the washer (not found) and resorted to air drying my clothes. Adding to the coldness of the cottage was a bathroom heater fan that did not function when applying the instructions from the "helpful hints". Began to feel: they had my full payment for two weeks and were trying to force me out (freeze me out?).

Beautifully appointed, everything you could wish for, Cass was very welcoming and although about half an hour from Edinburgh it was a pleasure to go out and have the cottage to return to and relax.

Perfect stay.
The cottage is of high standard, extremely clean and well equipped, good parking close to the cottage, very quiet, within 50 mins car trip to either Glasgow or Edinburgh. If you need a restful break this is the accommodation for you.

A beautiful and luxurious farmhouse central to either Glasgow or Edinburgh.
A quiet and beautifully spacious farmhouse with all the luxurious amenities! Upon my arrival, the wood stove was already stocked and ready to be lit. A heated drying rack with fluffy towels, bathrobes, and luxurious soaps in the bathroom—perfect after a long day of driving! All the kitchen amenities for cooking & cleaning including tablets for my laundry! Beautiful and tasteful décor. Cass & Charlie are such wonderful people and v. attentive hosts. The suggested 20 mins drive to Falls of Clyde is a lovely picturesque spot for a picnic and not a difficult trek by any means to stretch your legs. A really truly pampered stay in Scotland.
