1 Bedroom Cottage in Dunning
The Doocot is a delightful and secluded cottage, set in woodland beside an 18th century Doocot. It sits in the tranquil grounds of our own home, far away at the opposite end of the garden with our woodland on one side and well kept garden on the other. You can relax on the deck, reclining on the patio furniture and look endlessly out over the fields and a golf course watching the local wildlife come and go - red squirrels, woodpeckers and even the odd deer. A beautifully peaceful spot.
The Doocot interior is a calming and thoughtful one, decorated in creams and browns throughout with luxury linens and where every little detail has been thought out and provided for.
You enter through the conservatory into the kitchen and living area. The cottage is heated with a Stovax wood burning stove and a complimentary basket of logs on arrival. There are radiators to give background heat so the stove is not required unless you choose so. For relaxing nights in then there is a flat screen television, Blue Ray DVD, Freeview, DVD's, Books, Bose iPod dock and games but if you want to venture out then there are plenty pf restaurants nearby and one or two within walking distance. There are quirky artworks and photographs by a local well known photographer hanging on the walls.
The kitchen/dining area is well equipped with beech worktops and a dining island in the centre. It is a well appointed kitchen with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with small freezer compartment and a washer/dryer.
There are dressing gowns and fluffy towels, a lovely big bath and shower and Highland Soap Company bath and body products. The bedroom is bright and airy with full length windows down one side of the room to maximise the view. There is a wonderful super king size bed, with luxury linens, a dressing table with mirror, a magnifying mirror and a hairdryer.
Dogs are very welcome in The Doocot (by arrangement, £30 per dog per stay) and they are provided with a small welcome pack of their own including a towel, blanket, bed, a dog bowl and home made doggy biscuits! There is a gate at the bottom of the drive which can be shut at your discretion making it a fully enclosed garden.
We have a dog of our own plus some hens (you're very welcome to the fresh eggs daily) as long as you shut the gate to their run to stop them raiding the vegetable patch - please help yourself to whatever is in season ...
The price includes electricity, wifi, sheets, towels and dressing gowns. There is always some tasty baking and home made jam to welcome you (some of our very own homemade liqueur awaits tasting too!), fresh flowers plus some milk in your fridge for a cuppa when you arrive. In the kitchen there is a supply of tea, coffee, sugar, oils, salt and pepper. Loo rolls, cling film, silver foil, firelighters, matches, washing up liquid and cleaning products are provided too.
