Finch Cottage
This cottage forms one half of the clock tower building, but is detached and entirely self-contained; the roof continues over the archway (which separates it from the other building) to add to the architectural appeal and to support the clock turret. The kitchen and bathrooms at the front look onto the Kilmichael Woods, which are now part of the Glenrickard Forest, administered by the Forestry Commission, and home to the occasional deer as well as many red squirrels.
The bedrooms and the spacious sitting room face west onto its own private garden and across to Glen Cloy, Sgiath Bhan and Goatfell. It has underfloor central heating and a beautiful marble fireplace with real-flame gas fire. French doors lead onto a private patio garden.

Heron Cottage
This and the adjoining cottage are mirror images of Finch and Bluebird. Facing the Cloy Burn and Glen Cloy, they make a picturesque group around the 4 private, fenced gardens which together form a sheltered suntrap.
As with all our cottages, it is finished to 5-star standards. Furnished thoughout with solid mahogany pieces (including the lovely sleigh beds), gilt-framed pictures and a fascinating collection of “objets”, it is far more special and stylish that the word “cottage” conveys.
Full, controllable, underfloor central heating ensures warmth and comfort all year round. The sitting room is particularly light and spacious and has a classic, limestone chimney-piece with electric fire to make a grand focal point. Each bedroom (one twin and one double) has its own bathroom en suite. The “master” bathroom even has a walk-in digital shower as well as a whirlpool bath. “Heron” also has a sofabed to accommodate a fifth person, who will also have access to his or her own further half-bathroom.

Peacock Cottage
Peacock Cottage is named for our tame and friendly peacocks, who seem especially attracted to it: they occasionally perch on the bedroom window ledges or come to the kitchen door looking for treats. It is a light and spacious house with large en suite bedrooms and a living room which has windows on three sides, including French windows onto its private patio and garden. It has an upright piano in the hall.

Wren Cottage
Wren Cottage is probably the most “cottage-like” of them all. It is a cosy, fresh and bright holiday home, facing south onto the Stable Court, across its own small front garden.

Dove Cottage
Together with Peacock and Wren Cottage, Dove Cottage forms four sides of what was originally the stable courtyard. Made up of the renovated dovecote and smithy, the cottage consists of two spacious bedrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen and a particularly light sitting room.
Dove Cottage offers not only a pretty fenced-in garden with a wisteria draped pergola, but also a second sitting area facing south, perfect for afternoon tea or sundowners.
