About this property

Lavender Cottage

Lavender Cottage is a very snug, homely cottage on the outskirts of the village of Carsphairn. It is situated between Loch Ken and Loch Doon, both 20 minutes drive away, within the vast forest park.
This is a very beautiful, tranquil part of Scotland, and is ideally situated to cater for all activities within country life. There are stunning views from the cottage windows (see below), which you can enjoy whilst relaxing beside the log fire. If you are feeling more active you can enjoy the walking, cycling, fishing, golf, sight seeing and water sport opportunities all available locally.
The village shop, post office and heritage centre are all nearby. Ideal cottage to stay in only two hours away for the upcoming Edinburgh Festival.

Pleasant stay. Thank you :-)
Very peaceful location in beautiful countryside. Nice cottage, well equipped, cosy and clean. Only one issue - water flow from shower head rather weak.

Cosy cottage in nice location
The property was clean and comfortable and suited us well for a short stay. We did a lovely walk into the surrounding hills straight from the house. Would benefit from a few small improvements, e.g. more cutlery and other kitchen equipment, but no major issues.
