The home has character and style in abundance - we love the exposed stone wall in the immaculate, modern kitchen, the drinks bar in the living with crystal-cut glasses elegantly lined-up, and the warmth of the light and sunny contemporary living room. Play laird (or lady) for the day and tuck into eggs from the chickens strutting round the garden before heading down to the river for a...

This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
