Courtyard Cottage

Charming private wing of a magnificent Scottish Baronial Mansion, perfect for a romantic getaway. Located amid beautiful, landscaped gardens within easy reach of the historic town of Langholm.

Nestled in a wonderful rural position in the Southern Uplands on the outskirts of Langholm, this property enjoys far-reaching views of the Esk Valley. Excellent walking, biking and hiking routes are available from your doorstep including the Southern Upland Way and the Reiver Trails, or you can enjoy fishing on the River Esk. Langholm boasts a great range of local amenities including the Buccleuch Centre, a theatre and arts venue, independent shops, friendly inns and eateries. Visit the nearby Samye Ling Buddhist Centre, Rock UK adventure centre, and Kielder Water and Forest. There is also St Mary’s Loch or Grey Mare’s Tail to discover, a mesmerising waterfall plunging 60 metres from Loch Skeen. The property is perfectly positioned for touring the Scottish Borders, Lake District, Hadrian’s Wall Country and Northumberland.

 

From the mansion’s gardens, enter the fully enclosed indoor courtyard. Step inside this charming property into the hall and move through to the well-equipped kitchen. This is the perfect place to cook up a storm with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a comfortable dining area in the kitchen to enjoy romantic meals. Next, is the stylish bathroom with a shower over the roll-top bath, and WC. Heading up the stairs you are met with the lovely lounge with its splendid views over the manicured gardens. Relax on the comfortable sofas after a day out exploring the beautiful local area and watch a great movie on the Smart TV. Finally, completing the accommodation is the pretty king-size bedroom with lovely garden views to enjoy. Venturing outside, there is a fully enclosed indoor courtyard and a boot room to store all your outdoor clothing.
 

Stepping outside the courtyard, there is a garden with a seating area and a gas BBQ. This is an idyllic spot for al fresco dining or lazing evenings stargazing, perhaps with a nice glass of wine, good local ale or a wee dram. There is ample off-road private parking available.
