About Lammerlaw Self Catering
Lammerlaw Farm Cottage is a single storey holiday cottage on a working farm on the edge of the Scottish Borders and Lanarkshire, near Biggar, sleeping four and rated four stars by VisitScotland with a Gold award. It is family run, and the owners live in the nearby farmhouse, which means help is at hand without anyone being underfoot. The position is peaceful and secluded, with views over fields, farmland, hills and garden towards the Southern Upland hills, and it makes an excellent base: the Scottish Borders, Dumfries and Galloway, Glasgow, Edinburgh and the beaches of East Lothian are all within about an hour's drive.
The living room has a log burner, a smart TV and a selection of books, games and maps of local walks, with those stunning views towards the hills. The kitchen is well appointed and covers everything needed for a comfortable stay: a fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, clothes air dryer, microwave, toaster, oven and hob, a Tassimo coffee machine, a cafetiere and a DAB radio. A sun room leads off the kitchen with a smaller seating area, a good spot for a quiet coffee, or for younger guests a wall mounted television with a DVD player and a Wii console with games. The cottage has a double bedroom with a king size bed and a twin room, and the bathroom has both a bath and a separate shower, with easy access for guests with mobility considerations; there is also a gently sloping ramp from the parking area to the rear entrance. All bedding and linen are provided, with a hairdryer, and a travel cot and high chair are available free of charge on request. A weekly clean is offered on longer stays.
The cottage is surrounded by a well maintained secure garden, with access to a small enclosed woodland area for children's play and a further fenced off area where football can be played safely. There is a bike store with drying space, parking for two cars adjacent to the property, swings, football goals and a dark sky location for stargazing. The cottage is heated by a renewable source, its electricity comes from the farm's own wind turbines with the surplus fed back to the grid, and the water comes from the hill, which is worth knowing if you care where your holiday's energy comes from. The cottage is decorated for Christmas, and short breaks are offered at weekends in low and mid season.
Biggar, the local market town, has a Co-op, pharmacy, butcher, greengrocer, post office, garage and a good number of independent shops, cafes and pubs, many offering takeaway meals, plus a museum covering the archaeology and social history of Biggar and Upper Clydesdale. The area suits walkers, cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts: hill walking on the Southern Upland Way, mountain biking at Glentress, fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking and canoeing are all within reach, and there is a puppet theatre for younger guests. New Lanark World Heritage Site, the Falls of Clyde, Rosslyn Chapel, Linlithgow Palace, Lanark Loch, Strathclyde Country Park and Dalkeith Country Park make good days out, with Edinburgh twenty four miles away for the castle, museums and galleries. Lanark is the nearest station, ten miles off, and the local calendar runs from the Biggar Agricultural Show and Borders Book Festival to the Edinburgh festivals and the Biggar Bonfire on Hogmanay.
