Summary: Birkwood Cottage is a wonderful place. We spent the Christmas week here, Fiona greeted us as we arrived and was very welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. The cottage was so clean and inviting and very well equipped. The dogs loved the garden area which was safe and away from main roads ( we have a spaniel!) We’ve had a wonderful break. X

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage. It was lovely and comfortable, cozy and all the details were perfectly attended to. Our host was friendly and very helpful with local information and made sure we had a few helpful things in the kitchen to get us started on arrival. Fiona is really lovely and we would love to return to this wonderful area of the countryside. The location is central for day trips and there are tons of hidden gems. The morning walks are gorgeous and there are so many friendly lambs and dogs to get to know. We loved it !

Summary: Lovely location as a base for hiking in the south of Scotland in the Clyde River valley. The cottage has three nice size bedrooms (we used two) with comfortable beds and a kitchen with all the basics. Fiona is a responsive host with good recommendations for hikes and local restaurants.

Summary: Lovely cottage, tucked amongst the trees providing a peaceful and secluded stay. Cottage has everything you need and more, wood burner was great and logs provided. Fiona was lovely and helpful pointing out out local places of interest like Biggar and Peebles but cottage is well located for the larger cities if that’s what you’re looking for. Thanks for having us.

Summary: This cottage was lovely and peaceful. It had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable which made a nice change! We would get the bus into Biggar for dinner in the evenings which was perfect as only 10 mins away. Using the car in the day was also easy to get to Lanark or Biggar where parking is free. I grew up in Lanark so loved seeing Tinto where I would climb many a time as a child. (Perfect for any hikers.) I highly recommend this cottage and would definitely stay again.
