Peaceful countryside can be admired from nearly every room at this charming apartment nestled within a working dairy farm fringing Falkirk. While the apartment’s cottage exteriors may be 200 years old, inside the home has been beautifully reimagined for modern-day living. Expect a king-sized bedroom for a peaceful night's sleep and a bunkbed room that little ones will love. When you’re ready to explore, take your pick from the 67km of walking and cycling paths starting just moments from your door to explore the Falkirk countryside. For anything else, including nearby Stirling, you’ll need a car as there’s little within walking distance. But for us, that's all part of the charm.

There’s little within walking distance of this home, so we recommend having a car to make the most out of your stay.

Local guide
About Edinburgh
Edinburgh is a Jekyll and Hyde city. By day you can stroll the wide, leafy boulevards of the Georgian New Town, home to fine dining restaurants, art galleries and trendy coffee shops. By night, a dark past of grave-robbery, underground streets and witchcraft flickers to life in the Old Town as ghost walks wend their way down narrow snickleways. The Royal Mile cuts the city in half like a river,...
