Burnside Cottage

Burnside Cottage is a ground-floor conversion in woodland near Glentrool, furnished and equipped for two people. The open-plan living space combines a sitting area with dining, a kitchen fitted for everyday cooking, and a bedroom with a kingsize bed plus a single. There's a shower room and access to an enclosed courtyard and patio. The essentials are covered: electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and wifi are all included, and the owners leave a welcome pack of home baking and eggs to get you started.

On-site parking takes two cars, and there's secure storage for bikes and fishing rods with a washing facility if you need it. The forest setting attracts wildlife—deer, red squirrels, woodpeckers—making it worthwhile for anyone interested in photographing or simply watching birds and animals. Nearby lochs offer wild swimming, kayaking and fishing. Glentrool itself draws walkers and those seeking quieter ground. The cottage is non-smoking.
