About this cottage rental

This single storey cottage is in the very centre of the village and 170 years ago the building was used as a small weighbridge for the gunpowder railway hoppers that passed by the building on their way down to the Pier.

Weighbridge is situated in its own enclosed garden at the south-western end of the Village facing south over a paddock down to the River Oude.

The front door leads into a long hallway (with coat hanging space) with all rooms opening off. In walk order you are led to the well-appointed double bedroom; large open-plan kitchen/dining area (with oven, hob, fridge with ice-box, microwave & dishwasher); small bathroom (with bath, over-bath shower, wc & basin); spacious sitting room with large patio windows enjoying fabulous views over the paddock and to the hills beyond (equipped with open fire, two single sofa beds for occasional guests, CTV, DVD);

Car parking is in the large gravelled area at the gable end of the building or outside the front door.

    We stayed in Weighbridge 20 years ago and we were excited to return to our cozy cottage, so comfortable and warm. We want to return again and stay longer.

    We spent 3 nights in this lovely little cottage where we enjoyed the most relaxing short break. Also our two dogs loved the area for their walks. Would recommend this to anyone as we would certainly revisit this cottage again. Sandra Monteith

    A wonderful place for a relaxing break. Staff are friendly and very helpful. A great place to take your four-legged member of the family! The restaurant is excellent too. We enjoyed it so much that when we checked out,we booked for next year!

    Excellent stay in a delightful cottage, despite bad weather some days which gave us the excuse of lighting a fire. Reception staff very welcoming and helpful, providing information not only about on-site facilities but also advising us of places to visit, etc. Cottage fully equipped, even a dishwasher, great WiFi connection. Loved the welcome pack for our dog, the treats and toy went down well with him. All in all a perfect retreat for some r & r.

    We loved this cottage for its accessibility and the lovely views from the french windows. My husband has limited mobility so parking by the door and no stairs were essential advantages. The only drawback was the somewhat cramped bathroom space.

    enjoyed my stay. Very dog friendly liked the dog welcome pack. Might be good to close in the Fence, especially to road with eg chicken wire to allow me to let the dog out without concern.

    Cozy comfortable cottage in a beautiful peaceful location. The cottage was very well appointed and had everything we needed including logs, firefighters, and a goody bag for the dogs. Reception provided excellent information about walks, local places of interests and trips further afield. Our garden was next to the off lead dog walking field which was very useful, but I was disappointed about the lack of off lead dog walking available in the immediate vicinity of Melfort Village (too many sheep!). However we discovered some fantastic Forestry Commission walks which were all in excess of 30 minutes drive away. The two highlights for me were the day trip to Lunga island to see the Atlantic puffins and the live music evening at nearby Melfort Loch hotel.

    We had a lovely short break in April , staying in Weighbridge Cottage . This is a charming wee cottage which was lovely and cosy once we got the log fire burning . As we have a wee dog it's proximity to the paddock was handy and having its own garden an advantage. As we are an elderly couple we would have preferred a walk in shower rather than a shower over the bath but that was the only negative point for us .
