A well-loved retreat for over a decade, Rennaldburn's available for stays of a week or more.
The self-catering half of the house sleeps seven to eight, but is priced per person, so it's
reasonable if there's just one or two of you :)

Prices include all bedlinen, towels, firewood and energy usage, but not food, although
there's a complementary selection of essentials & wholefoods for you in the kitchen.

Nightly costs include a donation to the Akong Memorial Foundation and average
£64 for the whole holiday let side for one, with additional guests £16 each.

The centrally heated farmhouse has been lovingly refurbished in
an earth-friendly way, with many unique features inside,
from stained glass to organic woodwork…and, of course, an
abundance of original artworks.

Upstairs is the bathroom and two large bedrooms, each with a
double and single bed in them. (See above).

Both face West, towards the river
Esk which winds through the
valley, and the Loupin Stanes.

This is one of many prehistoric sites in the area, including the
Girdle Stanes, another ancient stone circle twenty minutes further downstream.

Half-way up the stairs, there is a cosy single with a skylight to the
stars and its own secret 'Mousehole', also with a single bed in it.

Downstairs is the sitting room, with an open fireplace. This holds an extensive library, specialising in
books of a spiritual and esoteric nature. This leads to the well-equipped kitchen, which also has a washer/dryer.

There's also wifi, DVD player & DVDs and many instruments to play.
(But be warned, there's no telly at Rennaldburn!)

My cat, Tashi, and I live in the back of the house, but the holiday
let side is completely self-contained, with its own front door.

It's child-friendly here, with cot and child safety gates available.

There’s plenty of room for parking, and barns for keeping bikes undercover.
