Talli House
For four, with two bedrooms and room for the dog. Two nights at least.
Talli House is a modern retreat for up to four adults on the edge of the village of Dunlop, in the East Ayrshire countryside.
It sits beside its hosts' home but is fully self-contained, with its own driveway, entrance and garden. Outside it's dark timber; inside, the living room rises to a high white ceiling, with a wood-burning stove, a long wall of glass onto the fields and a canopied outdoor lounge beyond. There are two king bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a walk-in rain shower and a deep, Japanese-inspired soaking bath between them. Dogs are welcome too, and there's a fully enclosed field for them to run in. Shops and supermarkets are about ten minutes' drive away.
Two king bedrooms, a walk-in rain shower and a Japanese-inspired soaking bath, an open-plan living room and kitchen with a wood-burning stove, a canopied outdoor lounge and a fully enclosed field.
Talli House is for adults only, and the minimum stay is two nights.
Dogs are welcome at £30 each, and you check yourself in with a lockbox. The house runs on a private water supply rather than the mains, so the soaking bath may need filling in two stages while the tank refills, and with the shops about ten minutes away, you'll need a car.

Talli House is on the edge of Dunlop, a village in the East Ayrshire countryside south-west of Glasgow, with its own private driveway.
Shops and supermarkets are about ten minutes' drive away, and the exact address comes with your booking. Dunlop gave its name to Dunlop cheese, and Dunlop Dairy, at West Clerkland Farm about a mile from the village, still makes it, with a cheese shop and a tearoom open in season. Merito is the village pub. For a bigger day out, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park is a 50-minute drive.
