What better way to spend a lovely relaxing break, than in Mill Cottage, Wanlockhead, the highest village in Scotland, where time has virtually stood still.

Wanlockhead is situated some 1500 feet up in the Southern Uplands in Dumfries and Galloway. Located 15 miles from Dumfries and only 1 hour's drive from the Scottish/English border, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Ayr (Prestwick Airport & Troon Ferry Terminal), this is the perfect retreat and quick get-away for all ages and life-styles.

This newly renovated 250 year old miner's cottage, comprises 1 Double Bedroom, 1 Twin Bedroom, Bathroom and large open-plan Lounge/Dining Room/Kitchen with logburner, open fire, a traditional Raeburn and many other quaint features one should expect from a traditional Scottish cottage in the hills! There is also a pull down futon for additional guests in the lounge. Mill Cottage can comfortably accommodate 4-6 guests.

Due to it's traditional features and Scottish character, Mill Cottage was chosen last summer to film inside scenes for the new BBC drama 'HOPE SPRINGS', which is to be broadcast in Spring 2009. Featuring top actresses, Annette Crosby and Alex Kingston, Hope Springs is an 8-part peak time drama from Shed Productions. Look out for Mill Cottage on the T.V. this spring!!!

SOME OF THE LOCAL ATTRACTIONS/SIGHTSEEING
With The Lead Mining Museum in Wanlockhead, the narrow-gauge railway in Leadhills 1 mile down the road and the Southern Upland Way right at your doorstep for hill walkers/mountain bikers, this really is an ideal retreat for single people, couples of all ages and families. There are numerous local attractions, including Golf, Fishing, Gold Panning, Drumlanrig Castle, the New Lanark Heritage Centre and indeed the whole of Dumfries and Galloway to explore, which must be one of Scotland's best kept secret locations. With easy access to the central belt, it really is an excellent base for day trips.
