This is the second year in a row that we choose knowehead farm for our family Easter holiday. Biggar, at the doorstep, is a great place to visit with kids (great outdoor parks, very interesting puppet centre etc.) The house is incredibly comfortable, with a dream kitchen where we all spent a fabulous time together. The rooms are spacious, clean andRead more comfortable. The bathtub, out of this world. The shower useful. Our dog, who came with us, also enjoyed the space and the little garden. Being in a farm and having a chance to see the calfs, the cows, the sheep etc. was a very important part of the experience for our little ones. All in all, I think this cottage is just perfect for a family holiday. Hide

We set off for Biggar not knowing much about the area. It turned out to be an excellent property choice. All of the rooms very large, spacious & furnishing's very comfortable. The kitchen is very well appointed. The view from the upstairs rooms fantastic. The location of this property made visiting both east and west coasts well within day trip disRead moretances. Hide

I would highly recommend this place. The view from the bath is beautiful. The location is a perfect base to explore the Borders area. Having use of an EV charger was ideal and the reason I booked here. Well, that and the view from the bath.

A lovely cottage, a real home from home with everything you might need for a break away. Clean and tidy on arrival. Comfy beds and a peaceful location made for a great night's sleep. Well placed for local amenities or a trip further afield. Would recommend food at The Crown Inn at Biggar if you want to eat out.

A beautiful place to stay and a very nice and helpful landlady. We would recommend it to anyone, particularly in the spring. The sheep and lambs were so funny to watch in the fields opposite the farmhouse! Would love to ho back one day.

We had a lovely Easter break in this cottage. The house is immaculate and very spacious. The kitchen and dining area fantastic to have toddlers exploring. The garden with the picnic bench and the gazebo very pleasant, even in windier days. We had some questions for the owners during our stay and they were always very prompt and helpful answering. PRead moreerhaps the only thing to mention to dog owners is that the garden, even if pretty enclosed, is not a place where you can leave a dog off the leash. Hide

A very clean, warm, large, extremely comfortable and well decorated and dressed cottage. Beautiful situation and owners responded immediately to a query we had. Upstairs bathroom is well fitted and with a bath which has a view but is very small. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely comfortable house with large well equipped rooms. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was great for the family to cook and socialise in. In a great location for us with plenty of country walks but close to Biggar for shops and restaurants. Would definitely recommend.
