Stable Cottage - Self-catering in Dunbartonshire
Alexandria, G83 8NB, Dunbartonshire
Scotland,
Reino Unido
Lots of care has been poured into the renovation of this old stone building along with a healthy regard for sustainability. Zoë's clever eye for design makes it a pleasure to walk in. Find a good-sized sitting room with a wooden table under the window for gazing, softly painted panelled walls, oak floors, bright rugs and a little Everhot stove. Choose a good book and take it to the bright conservatory with rocking chair and garden views.
A pretty double bedroom and bunk room are on this floor, then up the steep stairs and through a hobbit door a light and airy twin with sloping ceilings, not for giants but inviting nonetheless. The charming bathroom is downstairs and has a big bath with shower over, perfect after a long walk.
Cooks will be delighted with the kitchen and its fun Bert & May tiles. A Grind coffee machine and Tunnocks tea cakes welcome you, everything ugly and modern is hidden away, all is pleasing to the eye.

Local points of interest from Zoë Croucher:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Zoë Croucher:
- Spot some deer in the morning mist, spy a red squirrel darting through the trees. See bats emerge from the eaves at dusk, and hear a tawny owl hoot in the night. Close your eyes and lose count of how many different birds you hear. All from the doorstep.
- Loch Lomond is your oyster! And only moments away. Take a dip with the mountains as your backdrop, meander in a kayak along the shores, or take a speedboat tour of the islands and stop off for lunch at one on the way.
- Mountains and hills abound, with the most fabulous views. Scotland's most southerly Munro, Ben Lomond is nearby - as well as the Trossachs and Arrochar Alps. There are many easier walks too. Soak in a piping hot bath and enjoy a dram when you get home.
- Visit the Hill House in Helensburgh, explore the independent shops and enjoy an ice cream along the seafront. Take a wander through the pretty villages of Luss, Drymen, Balmaha or Killearn and grab a pub lunch while you're there. Maybe even a distillery...
- The vibrant and wonderfully different cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh are only a 40 min and 1.5 hr drive away. World famous art collections, stunning architecture, impressive theatres, vast array of restaurants and exciting nightlife. Great for a day trip.
- Dark skies are breathtaking to gaze up at from the outdoor bath!
