Dunploddin' is a newly built and purpose designed self catering property to provide all you need for for a relaxing and peaceful holiday in the Southern Uplands of Scotland.
Dunploddin' is situated on a very quiet road without through traffic, at around 1200 feet above sea level there is a true sense of peace and tranquility. I am sure you will miss traffic noise, mobile phones and the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Formerly a shepherd's cottage, this converted barn is a true rural delight. Situated 12 miles from the nearest village, this wonderfully remote location totally belies the state of the art refurbishment, beautifully carried out with dedication and flair by the property owners. This compact cottage is on two levels, it exudes lots of natural light and delivers a style and charm all of its own. There is an adjoining kennel with indoor and outdoor run, dog sitting available at no extra charge, but dogs are not allowed in the cottage. We also offer secure bike and equipment storage with an area to hang wet outdoor clothing.
In May, June and July guests can watch the development of the resident barn owl's who have residency in an adjoining barn, via a camera link to the cottage. Nesting kestrels, peregrins, oyster catchers, herons and house martins abound here - a real ornithologists dream. There is lots to do here for the outdoor enthusiast including idyllic walks, fascinating cycle rides, fishing and golf. Dunploddin' is one of only 4 properties situated on the Southern Upland Way.
