Birkwood Cottage - A Peaceful Escape For Scottish Adventures

Welcome to Birkwood Cottage, a charming former gardener's cottage tucked away in a peaceful, leafy setting on the edge of Symington, South Lanarkshire.

Set within 3 1/2 acres of woodland and landscaped grounds shared with Birkwood House, built in 1905. The cottage has a garden of an acre of fenced/laurel hedge/ woodland and grass. The cottage offers a lovely blend of countryside charm, comfort and tranquility. Recently refreshed, it's a welcoming home from home where you can slow down, escape the everyday and enjoy a little breathing space.

Sleeping up to six guests, Birkwood Cottage is a wonderful base for exploring Scotland. Discover historic villages, enjoy scenic countryside walks, browse independent shops and sample local produce. Edinburgh and Glasgow are within easy reach for days out, while the nearby market town of Biggar and historic New Lanark offer plenty to explore closer to home.

After a day of adventure, return to the peace and quiet of the cottage, settle beside the cosy log burner and enjoy a relaxed evening with family or friends. Whether you're planning a walking holiday, a Scottish adventure or simply a few days away to recharge, Birkwood offers the best of both worlds: the freedom to explore and a tranquil retreat to return to.

We encourage guests to discover the flavours and character of the local area, from independent cafes and traditional pubs to farm shops and local food producers. Taking time to explore locally, support indendendent businesses and appreciate the surrounding landscape is all part of the enjoying this special corner of Scotland.
