Auld Laundry Cottage
Raehills, Moffat, Dumfries and Galloway |
|
Delightfully situated within the stunning grounds of historic Raehills, this building has been recently restored to provide superb self catering accommodation, with considerable care being taken in the conversion to use the latest ecological techniques and natural materials. The cottage is approached up the private mile long drive of Raehills and enjoys a peaceful and idyllic location in a small oak glen. Guests are encouraged to treat the exclusive parkland and gardens of Raehills as their own and to explore and enjoy them.
Auld Laundry Cottage is halfway between Moffat and Dumfries, with excellent connections to the rest of Scotland and the north of England, lying just 10 minutes from the A74M motorway. Nearby Lockerbie has a main line railway station with direct services to Glasgow, Edinburgh and the South. Also close by, the former spa town of Moffat enjoys a wide range of shops, pubs and award winning restaurants. Perfect for getting away from it all, the surrounding area has activities for everyone, from mountain biking and hill walking on our estate and in the Ae Forest (part of the 7Stanes), to fishing and stalking and enjoying a round of golf on numerous local courses. Tennis can be arranged in the gardens of Raehills. Horse riding and sailing are also available locally. On wet days, for the kids there's pottery painting nearby, trips to DG One, a brand new leisure centre, and visiting various play centres. History lovers will be at home in Burns and Reivers country, close to many sites of historical interest including Caerlaverock and Drumlanrig Castles.
