Beautifully appointed, everything you could wish for, Cass was very welcoming and although about half an hour from Edinburgh it was a pleasure to go out and have the cottage to return to and relax.
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

About the host
Hosted by Cass Delaney
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!
Why they chose this property
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.
What makes this property unique
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.
