Tackroom Cottage

Originally the Tack Room to the Stable Courtyard and now offered as a two-bedroomed self catering cottage for up to 4 people.

About The Tackroom Cottage

Tackroom Cottage has been newly refurbished to a high standard. It has flagstone floors throughout with underfloor heating supplied by an air source heat pump.

As the name denotes, the cottage was originally the tack room for Cairnsmore Estate Stable Block and is now one of 4 residences within the courtyard.

The Tackroom is an unusual property offering a comfortable and spacious holiday cottage combining character and original features with an eclectic mix of the traditional and contemporary, all in a peaceful location close to country and coastal pursuits. It is particularly suited to couples and due to the layout of the accommodation this cottage is offered for children aged 14 years and above.

The garden is enclosed by stone dykes, offering two small lawned areas and containing a unique pair of granite-columned hay barns, one with BBQ area.
