The cottage is exceptional. Very well furnished and comfortable. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. The neighborhood is quiet and the cottage was spotless on my arrival. I would absolutely return for future if I visit Scotland again.

Cass and Charlie’s stone cottage is a brilliant spot to day trip from that offers a quiet home nestled into incredible countryside.The cottage is roomy, beautifully appointed and amazing walks are right outside your door.Coffee in the morning in the courtyard and a stroll to say hello to the sheep, cows, horses, rabbits and pheasants were a smashing start to each day.We loved every minute with Cass and Charlie. We think you will too!

We lovd the beautiful countryside and the rural walks. Close to charming little towns and we also hiked the historic Clyde waterfalls. Our hosts were very lovely and accommodating, wish we could have gotten to know them more. Better than their humble photos portray.

We had one of our most wonderful holidays in Scotland in this beautiful cottage. The check-in process was smooth, and the hosts gave us such a warm welcome – they are truly lovely people. The house and the location are stunning – it’s a place where you immediately feel at home. After many day trips, it was always so nice to know that we could return to this cosy and charming cottage. We would love to come back and can wholeheartedly recommend it!

This is a very lovely little cottage. It is far enough away from town to feel peaceful, but close enough to make going into town easy. The folks in the nearest town of Carnwath were very pleasant and welcoming. The only issue we had was initially finding the right drive entrance, but that was more due to it already getting dark when we arrived. We highly recommend this place.

The stay at Ampherlaw was just amazing. The farmhouse was spotlessly clean, had all amenities and heating. Every thought was given to our comfort and directions with check-in instructions were easy to follow. My partner and I would definitely stay again as the perfect retreat to the peaceful countryside.

One of the best stays i've had, beautiful location and the hosts were very friendly. Inside the stay itself was nice and warm perfect for the cold november nights. The bedroom was very cosy with the log burner and armchairs, it felt very homely. It was easy to nip to Edinburgh for the day from here aswell.
It was perfect
4.0 / 10.0
this cottage is lovely. The surrounding countryside is beautiful. But the room containing the sitting area/bedroom was uncomfortably cold. REALLY cold. The wood burner stove was prepped for a fire on my arrival and a basket of wood was at my disposal. But I needed a fire nearly every night after returning from a day of touring and the basket quickly emptied. A "helpful hints" list was provided by the hosts which indicated addiitional wood was available for purchase from them. When I approached the male host about more wood, he replied the cottage "is listed as self-catering". I was on my own for wood. His tone was such that I knew not to pursue the issue or any OTHER issue that might arise. BTW, most of the nights were below freezing. On the other hand, the female host was very cooperative--except she seemed to be around less of the time than the male host. I booked for two weeks and packed clothing with the intention of being able do laundry...but the clothes washer didn't function properly and no manual was available for it--although all the other kitchen appliances did have manuals available. Found myself getting online to determine the error code flashing on the washer (not found) and resorted to air drying my clothes. Adding to the coldness of the cottage was a bathroom heater fan that did not function when applying the instructions from the "helpful hints". Began to feel: they had my full payment for two weeks and were trying to force me out (freeze me out?).

A quiet and beautifully spacious farmhouse with all the luxurious amenities! Upon my arrival, the wood stove was already stocked and ready to be lit. A heated drying rack with fluffy towels, bathrobes, and luxurious soaps in the bathroom—perfect after a long day of driving! All the kitchen amenities for cooking & cleaning including tablets for my laundry! Beautiful and tasteful décor. Cass & Charlie are such wonderful people and v. attentive hosts.
The suggested 20 mins drive to Falls of Clyde is a lovely picturesque spot for a picnic and not a difficult trek by any means to stretch your legs. A really truly pampered stay in Scotland.

The Ampherlaw Cottage is perfectly situated in the rolling hills of central lower Scotland, the "Lowlands." From there I was able to adventure out and explore almost everywhere except the outer islands. During the four weeks I was there, crisscrossing the area, I drove almost 2,500 miles, stopping in the small villages and hamlets as well as the larger towns and big cities of Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Inverness. The cottage itself is a masterpiece of comfort and rustic elegance that captures the flavor of an 1850s baronial mini-manor, so much so that I enjoyed the down days at "home" between adventures almost as much as the far-flung adventures themselves. If one desires to capture the essence of Scotland and literally breath in the magical atmosphere of the isolated roads, small-town hospitality, surrounding hills, sheep-studded pastures, and distant forest-scapes, Ampherlaw Cottage is the place.

We had a lovely time here. The property is beautifully presented and extremely comfortable. We were made to feel very welcome and had access to everything we needed. We did some cycling in the local area and had an easy trip into Edinburgh one day too, although we were just as happy inside by the cosy fire when it rained. We hope to be back!

This was exactly what we were after for our Scottish getaway, the accommodation was lovely and comfortable and Cass our host really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome! The extra touches like leaving out bread, butter and biscuits were great. We would highly recommend and we'd love to return one day.

It's impressive how easily we were able to use Carnwath, Fourth & (the Mill town of New Lanark) area of Lanarkshire, to get to most of the lowlands of Scotland. One day was Hadrians Wall, built like 2 thousand years ago, to keep the unconquirable Scots/Pics out of Britania (though for some reason the new Brits own NorthUmbria... and yes, my spelling will not be suitable), but we also visited Edinburgh and Paisley and Glasgow, and always had this cozy ensuite cottage to call home for the week.
Loved the wood burning fireplace, thick stone walls and 5 different ways to get back to the place (my favorite was the ford between forth & the cottage).
