This beautiful rustic single storey traditional 18th century cottage, built from local pink sandstone, was bought by my father in 1986. I've been going there since I was 7 years old.

It's in an isolated tranquil location with beautiful views of the Lowther Hills, and a ruined castle and loch a 10 minute walk away. A great area for walking, cycling, fishing, bird watching etc.

It has a separate office with hill views, bike storage, open fire, and recently refurbished kitchen and bathroom.

The space
The cottage sleeps 6, in 3 double bedrooms. One of the bedrooms has an ensuite shower and toilet. Please note that this bedroom can only be accessed through one of the other bedrooms. Please see photos for a floorplan. The main bedroom has a superkingsize bed.

There is a separate secure double-glazed office with plenty of space for two people with three monitors each. The office is heated, with fast wifi and views of the hills through the windows.

There is also secure heated bike storage with worktop area and plenty of space for several bikes.

Guest access
Access to the whole cottage and garden.

Other things to note
Please note there is no TV, but there is very fast fibre wifi so feel free to connect your own devices.

There are CCTV cameras overlooking the driveway, but guests are able to switch them off for the duration of their stay.

The water comes from a spring in the hillside behind the cottage. It passes through ultraviolet and mesh filters as it comes into the cottage. The supply is regularly tested by the council environmental health department each year.

Please also note that this is a lovely, rustic, cosy cottage. It is not a 5 star apartment! The furniture isn't matching. The mugs and plates aren't all matching sets. The bedding isn't matching. It is a much loved and well used family cottage. Please have a look at the photos and see if you think it will meet your expectations. Thank you!

Neighbourhood highlights

Absolutely spectacularly beautiful area. You can walk into the hills and forests straight from the cottage, and to a ruined castle and loch. Lovey beaches are within a 40 minute drive. You can also drive in the other direction further into the hills, and go gold panning in the river. Drumlanrig Castle is a short drive (or a walk) away.

Lives in Manchester, United Kingdom
I live in Manchester with my wife, two children and cat. I've been going to Morton Mains Cottage since I was 7 years old, when my dad bought it in 1986. He died in 2008 sadly, and left the cottage to me and my brother. I generally manage to get up there 3 or 4 times a year. I hope my children grow up enjoying it as much as I have done.
