The cottage is exceptional. Very well furnished and comfortable. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. The neighborhood is quiet and the cottage was spotless on my arrival. I would absolutely return for future if I visit Scotland again.
Cass and Charlieâs stone cottage is a brilliant spot to day trip from that offers a quiet home nestled into incredible countryside.The cottage is roomy, beautifully appointed and amazing walks are right outside your door.Coffee in the morning in the courtyard and a stroll to say hello to the sheep, cows, horses, rabbits and pheasants were a smashing start to each day.We loved every minute with Cass and Charlie. We think you will too!
We stayed last year and were very impressed. So decided to book again this year.Amazing property everything you need.Wonderful hosts. Great location for Edinburgh and Glasgow and many more places.Can't wait to go again.
Relaxing Luxurious Getaway disguised as a Rural Farmhouse
We lovd the beautiful countryside and the rural walks. Close to charming little towns and we also hiked the historic Clyde waterfalls. Our hosts were very lovely and accommodating, wish we could have gotten to know them more. Better than their humble photos portray.
We had one of our most wonderful holidays in Scotland in this beautiful cottage. The check-in process was smooth, and the hosts gave us such a warm welcome â they are truly lovely people. The house and the location are stunning â itâs a place where you immediately feel at home. After many day trips, it was always so nice to know that we could return to this cosy and charming cottage. We would love to come back and can wholeheartedly recommend it!
This is a very lovely little cottage. It is far enough away from town to feel peaceful, but close enough to make going into town easy. The folks in the nearest town of Carnwath were very pleasant and welcoming. The only issue we had was initially finding the right drive entrance, but that was more due to it already getting dark when we arrived. We highly recommend this place.
This location had a great view of the countryside and is in close proximity to many notable citiees and landmarks. The hosts are friendly and welcoming.
Amazing property.Fully equipped.One of the best self catering properties that we stayed in.Charlie and Cass exceptional hosts who show they care about the experience.Would definitely love to re visit and stay at their property.Will highly recommend to friends and family.Just want to thank them for our stay.
Wir haben den Urlaub sehr genossen. Es ist eine tolle Unterkunft mit sehr netten Vermietern. FĂŒr unsere Vorhaben und Wanderungen ein idealer Ausgangspunkt.
Danke nochmals von ganzem Herzen
Like last year, cottage was so cozy and environment is so peaceful. We enjoyed our stay at this warm house. All those vintage interoir fits perfect as well as the owners. Everything just is so helpful relaxing there.
The stay at Ampherlaw was just amazing. The farmhouse was spotlessly clean, had all amenities and heating. Every thought was given to our comfort and directions with check-in instructions were easy to follow. My partner and I would definitely stay again as the perfect retreat to the peaceful countryside.
One of the best stays i've had, beautiful location and the hosts were very friendly. Inside the stay itself was nice and warm perfect for the cold november nights. The bedroom was very cosy with the log burner and armchairs, it felt very homely. It was easy to nip to Edinburgh for the day from here aswell.
It was perfect

Where's the heat?
this cottage is lovely. The surrounding countryside is beautiful. But the room containing the sitting area/bedroom was uncomfortably cold. REALLY cold. The wood burner stove was prepped for a fire on my arrival and a basket of wood was at my disposal. But I needed a fire nearly every night after returning from a day of touring and the basket quickly emptied. A "helpful hints" list was provided by the hosts which indicated addiitional wood was available for purchase from them. When I approached the male host about more wood, he replied the cottage "is listed as self-catering". I was on my own for wood. His tone was such that I knew not to pursue the issue or any OTHER issue that might arise. BTW, most of the nights were below freezing. On the other hand, the female host was very cooperative--except she seemed to be around less of the time than the male host. I booked for two weeks and packed clothing with the intention of being able do laundry...but the clothes washer didn't function properly and no manual was available for it--although all the other kitchen appliances did have manuals available. Found myself getting online to determine the error code flashing on the washer (not found) and resorted to air drying my clothes. Adding to the coldness of the cottage was a bathroom heater fan that did not function when applying the instructions from the "helpful hints". Began to feel: they had my full payment for two weeks and were trying to force me out (freeze me out?).
Cass is from Edinburgh, and Charlie from Duns in the Scottish Borders. We live in Ampherlaw Farmhouse with our son, Lachlan and our horses, dogs, cat and chickens!
Before buying Ampherlaw Farmhouse in 2004 we lived just three miles away. We often rode past the house and fell in love with its crow stepped gables and beautiful stonework. Although it was in desperate need of attention, we saw the beauty that lay beneath. We were very lucky to be riding past one day as the For Sale sign was being erected. The rest is history!!
We spent the next six years restoring it to its former glory, and at the same time extended into two of the adjoining barns. It is these barns that form the cottage that we offer for self catering holidays.
Ampherlaw is a little hidden gem in south Lanarkshire. The beautiful views on a fine day make you think you're living in paradise. Although it has a lovely rural position, it is only a 35 minute drive to Edinburgh.
We love staying here as we have horses, dogs, cats and chickens and we love the freedom the place offers.
