Situated on a quiet road in an elevated position with beautiful, sweeping views over parkland to the hills beyond. There is free parking either on the road or on the driveway at the property. The double room is adjacent to private shower/toilet and guests have access to all ground floor shared areas - kitchen, dining room, living room. We are 2 mins walk from the High St shops, museum, restaurants and pubs. There is an hourly bus service to Edinburgh or Peebles (45 mins to Edinburgh by car). The bedroom is spacious and very quiet as it backs on to the rolling countryside. This is a relaxing and comforting space with beautiful period features and high ceilings. The private shower room with toilet is adjacent to the bedroom and for the exclusive use of guests. Guests can access shared areas all of the lower part of the property including the kitchen, front living room and dining room. The front room is a relaxing area to read or chat and enjoy the views from the property.
It is a real pleasure to welcome guests from all over the world. Whether it's the excitement of a local wedding, adventuring through Scotland or spending time with friends and relatives...whatever the reason for their visit, guests share such varied and interesting stories, it makes hosting so worthwhile!
Biggar is a small but unique Scottish village in so many ways . It is lively and friendly and very welcoming to visitors. It offers a range of attractions. There are numerous festivals that take place throughout the year such as the Biggar Little festival during October, the famous Biggar Bonfire at New Year that attracts worldwide attention and regular "meet the writer" events hosted by our local prize-winning bookshop. The countryside in this part of Scotland is ideal for keen hill walkers with Tinto Hill about 5 miles distant and is the highest point in Central Scotland. The 360 views from the top are spectacular. Other nearby attractions include the beautiful Dawyck Gardens and Little Sparta. Biggar's pubs and restaurants give the visitor a warm Scottish welcome.
