Thank you so much, Cass! This quaint cottage was the perfect retreat after long days of work and travel. My favorite parts were a bubble bath, countryside walks, and the crackling wood fire.

This is an unbelievable property. Absolutely first-class from start to finish in a beautiful location that is a great base for access to Glasgow and Edinburgh. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is in the cottage, all amenities are there. The hosts, Cass and Charlie, are just the best too. Can't recommend Ampherlaw Farmhouse enough.

Relaxing Luxurious Getaway disguised as a Rural Farmhouse

We lovd the beautiful countryside and the rural walks. Close to charming little towns and we also hiked the historic Clyde waterfalls. Our hosts were very lovely and accommodating, wish we could have gotten to know them more. Better than their humble photos portray.

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.
