Private room in a modern family townhouse tucked away behind the high street of this historic market town in the Southern Uplands. Ideally placed to explore the area, attend a wedding at nearby Cornhill Castle, and Shieldhill Castle, base yourself for work, or simply relax. Park your car for free minutes away. Secure your motorbike or bicycle in our private, onsite space. Take a short stroll to pubs, cafes, restaurants, and independent shops. Wander around the museum, unwind in the nearby parks and play areas, or enjoy a round on the town's golf course. You couldn't be much closer to witnessing the Biggar Hogmanay Bonfire and Biggar Show in the town centre, and are centrally place for other local events throughout the year. At festival time Edinburgh is only 29 miles away.

My wife and I like people - it's why we do this and why we will be there to greet you unless there's a good reason not to be there. We are happy to chat because we are curious - but if you just want your own space, that's absolutely fine. I am a passionate gardener and walker in the twilight years of my working life. If I'm not at home I'm probably helping others with their garden (or tramping the hills.) My wife Janey loves playing and teaching the piano.

This is farming, fishing, and hiking country, almost within casting distance of The Borders. For an energetic hike Tinto Hill or Culter Fell are just a few kilometres away, while for those preferring a more gentle stroll, Dawyck Botanic Gardens is a short drive. Both have ample (and free) parking. To eat you don't even have to drive anywhere. Biggar has two very good pubs in The Crown and The Cross Keys, and an award-winning Indian restaurant.
