About this property

COUNTRY NEST- Cosy Spacious Holiday House

  • Located just over 30 minutes from Edinburgh, 40 minutes from Glasgow and only a short drive from the Borders.
    Country Nest is located in the semi-rural village of Carnwath so come and experience the countryside with village charm.
    Our home is ideal for families or couples looking for a break away in the beautiful countryside.
    You can snuggle up in front of our log burning stove, or relax in our garden.
    On the door step you will find a take-away, bakery, grocery shop, and pub.

    The space

    You will love our spacious lounge where you can chill in front of our log burning stove. Enjoy a night of board games, unwind with a DVD or some quiet time with one of our books. For the tech savy's, we have wifi throughout the house.

    We like to think you can do anything in our kitchen!
    We have a washing machine, dishwasher and electric hob/oven along with a fridge and more importantly a freezer to store those ice cubes.
    In addition to the adults plates and cutlery we are stocked up with kids stuff too, even a high chair for the wee one.

    Our Bathroom/toilet is located on the ground floor and has a power shower overhanging the bath.
    You will find fluffy towels and smellies for you to use.

    Country Nest has two bedrooms that hold five guests. The main bedroom has a king sized bed with plenty of natural day light. The second room has a bunk bed, made up of a double bed at the bottom and a single bed on top. For the wee one, you will find a travel cot ready for use and can be set up in either room.

    When the Scottish sun shines you can unwind on our outside terrace or chill out on the grass.

    Country Nest uses oil to heat the central heating and hot water throughout the property. In addition to this we have a log burner in the lounge, with the use of a fan, circulates the heat from the stove throughout the property.

Nice place, location limited in resources

The place is super quaint and clean. Hosts very responsive and helpful. Not a lot in town to eat, the one pub was not recommended, so be sure to plan meals accordingly. Easy drive to train station. Parking was limited and a bit far away.

Cozy Cottage

This cottage was cozy, clean, and welcoming after making our long trip from busy London. It was the perfect home base for visiting family and exploring the area. Plus it’s right between Glasgow and Edinburgh for sightseeing in any direction. We walked to the Apple Pie bakery everyday for coffee and to try whatever fresh pastries they had to offer that day. The cottage had comfy beds, a fully stocked kitchen, plus a large table for games or sharing a meal and a relaxing living room area with the lovely fireplace. Ian was very responsive. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing this cottage with us!

Familienfreundliche Unterkunft

Wir haben 3 Nächte die Unterkunft genutzt (Ehepaar mit 2 erwachsenen Kindern). Die Wohnung war super ausgestattet, bietet sehr viel Platz (> 100 m2) und war sehr sauber. Die große Küche und das komfortable Wohnzimmer haben uns sehr gefallen; zudem auch die 2 Schlafzimmer mit guten Matratzen. Das Haus sieht von außen unscheinbar aus, aber innen ist alles TipTop. Für Ausflüge nach Edinburgh mit dem Auto sollte man 50 Minuten bis zur Innenstadt einplanen. Das liegt hauptsächlich am intensiven Stadtverkehr mit vielen Geschwindigkeitsbeschränkungen (20 Meilen/h). Wir können die Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen. Many Thanks to Ian&Kat

Lovely home away from home base for exploration

This dog friendly property is a bit far from the fringe events, but that was my error. The property itself and hosts are great. The two bedroom house is perfect for a family of three or four with pets.

Charming house, great place to start exploring

We found the house immaculately clean, very well equipped and with lots of charming details (books, signs, bird food...). The bedrooms were cozy and really quiet, so we didn´t hear the rather busy street at all. The place is a perfect start for exploring the vicinity (Glasgow, Clydefalls, Owl centre, even the west coast). We can also highly recommend the Arms-Hotel, just 50 metres away. Good food, very nice and authentic people. Thank you Ian and Kat for a wonderful time.

Perfect for a quiet break away.

Lovely cottage in a quiet little village. Village has all the essentials. Pub, shop and cake shop! Property is very well decorated and caters for all your needs. The enclosed back garden was great for our dog. He could have a little wander and a great park just at the back of the house!

We had an enjoyable time away! The property was comfortable and homely. Great park at the back of the property for dogs. Just pity about parking on the road but it wasn’t a problem! A short drive away if you want to go shopping. We headed for the New Lanark World Heritage Site! Brilliant! Fantastic weekend had by all!

Beautiful warm cosy cottage

Lovely, well equipped and cosy cottage. Perfect for a get away from it all break. The two bedrooms are very comfortable and airy. A great living/ dining room With a wood burning stove . We didn’t use it as the nights were warm but I’m sure we would have loved it had we visited in autumn or winter . The kitchen was lovely too and we loved cooking rather than going out for dinner after a long day of hiking . Location of the cottage makes it so easy to drive up to Edinburgh or Glasgow ( almost the same time to both the cities). The best part about the drive up to Edinburgh is the amazing views and the scenic route . We also did day trips to Inverness and Fort William ( 3 hour drive to either location from the cottage ) . We were at the cottage for 7 days and my family of 5 ( all adults ) and our labradoodle Rusty loved staying there . Certainly was more than home away from home .

A lovely cottage

A great cottage. Spotlessly clean and much bigger than the photographs suggest. The owners have thought of everything and we really appreciated the little touches (e.g tinfoil in the drawer, a couple of dishwasher tablets, hand soap and shower gel in the bathroom, board games, OS msps etc etc). We enjoyed participating in the quiz in the local pub, even though we came last and won the Smarties! The locals were really friendly and made an effort to chat to us and our children. A great base for Edinburgh as well as the more local attractions. We'd definitely recommend Country Nest.
