The charming lounge with log burning stove provides a romantic and cosy setting. French doors lead onto a sunny patio and attractive garden which is visited by the playful red squirrels and many species of birds. Red Kites and Buzzards fly overhead and the occasional Otter may be spotted as it vies with the Heron as it searches the burn for wee brown trout. Roe and Fallow Deer together with Badgers inhabit the neighbouring woodland.
The cottage is situated in picturesque Anwoth, next to The Old Schoolhouse and opposite the historic and atmospheric Old Kirk both of which featured in the infamous film "The Wickerman".
