5 Star Cottages Scotland - the Shire

The Shire - sleeps 4 in 2 bedrooms

Originally built to house the Shire horses, this beautiful cottage now has a large stone fireplace framed in double oak beamed support as its most striking feature.

A hand-made breakfast bar and an open plan kitchen look onto the spectacular feature, full height fireplace, and 2 double bedrooms en-suite complete this luxury cottage.

The downstairs bedroom has the unusual feature of a roll top bath with claw feet, modesty screened, in the bedroom itself.

The Muirhall trademark oak staircase leads to the first floor double bedroom, which boasts a balcony which overlooks the feature stone fireplace in the lounge below.

With full height ceilings and exposed oak beams, the remote control Velux windows ensure that this cottage is light, especially in the summertime.

"We have had a really relaxing week here and can't believe how quickly the time has gone. Renee spent a long time searching for quality self catering and we certainly have found it here. It's been a great location for exploring both Glasgow and Edinburgh and beyond. You have both been excellent hosts and we thank you again for allowing us to bring our booking over from last year. We have no doubt that Muirhall will be a great success and we'll be telling all our friends" - Dave, Renee, London

"As regular visitors to the cottages (this is our 5th visit) every experience has been memorable and we are already looking forward to our next trip back. We will highly recommend to friends and family. It is a wonderful area to stay." - Jochen and Kerstin,Germany
