Surrounded by natural beauty and just a short distance from the Ochil Hills, this is a lovely setting for walkers and outdoor lovers. Right next door, pretty parklands provide a lovely setting for a morning stroll, while the nearby village of Saline, less than 1 mile away, has a golf course and scenic woodland trails at Saline Glen. For a taste of local flavours, a farm shop 3 miles away serves up fresh, delicious treats. If you're in the mood for an adventure, Knockhill Racing Circuit, 4.5 miles, is a must-visit for motorsport fans.

If you fancy a city day trip, you’re within easy reach of Stirling (18 miles) and Edinburgh (28 miles).

Step inside this single-storey cottage and into a welcoming hallway – perfect for storing your outdoor gear after a day of adventure. From here, head into the spacious open-plan living area, bathed in natural light and designed for ultimate relaxation. Sink into the plush sofas and enjoy a movie on the Smart TV, or cook a feast in the well-equipped kitchen. Whether it's a romantic dinner or a lively family gathering, the dining area awaits with patio doors leading to the garden. Off the hallway, you’ll find two beautifully decorated bedrooms – a king-size retreat and a cosy twin – both thoughtfully designed for a restful night’s sleep. Completing the accommodation is a sleek, contemporary bathroom.

Outside, the private and partially fenced garden is a haven for outdoor dining. Enjoy al fresco meals on the patio before sinking into the bubbling private hot tub for a well-earned soak.
