About this property

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?).

About the host

Hosted by Cass Delaney

Host profile image
Cass is from Edinburgh, and Charlie from Duns in the Scottish Borders. We live in Ampherlaw Farmhouse with our son, Lachlan and our horses, dogs, cat and chickens!

Why they chose this property

Before buying Ampherlaw Farmhouse in 2004 we lived just three miles away. We often rode past the house and fell in love with its crow stepped gables and beautiful stonework. Although it was in desperate need of attention, we saw the beauty that lay beneath. We were very lucky to be riding past one day as the For Sale sign was being erected. The rest is history!!

We spent the next six years restoring it to its former glory, and at the same time extended into two of the adjoining barns. It is these barns that form the cottage that we offer for self catering holidays.

What makes this property unique

Ampherlaw is a little hidden gem in south Lanarkshire. The beautiful views on a fine day make you think you're living in paradise. Although it has a lovely rural position, it is only a 35 minute drive to Edinburgh.

We love staying here as we have horses, dogs, cats and chickens and we love the freedom the place offers.
