Lindores Lodge

It’s a modern farmhouse for six, with room for two more on a sofa bed.

There are three bedrooms: two make up as a superking or twin and one as a king or twin. Two have their own bathrooms. The third, on the ground floor, suits wheelchair users, with a lower hanging rail and a wet room beside it fitted with grab rails and a shower seat. The kitchen is built round a big range cooker with a double oven, and tall windows look out over the fields to the hills. In one bedroom a floor-to-ceiling window lets you lie in bed watching the pheasants fly by.

Outside there’s an enclosed garden with a sunken trampoline and a slide, a seven-seater hot tub tucked into the side of the house, and parking for four cars. Up to three dogs can come too, and the barley growing in the fields around you goes next door to Lindores Abbey Distillery.

Good to know: Wi-Fi, bed linen, towels, heating and electricity are all included. High chairs and travel cots can be hired, and children under five can’t use the hot tubs.
