About this property
Kirkmuirhill 2 miles. Marshill Farm House is a handsome detached retreat tucked away in the peaceful varea of Draffan, near Kirkmuirhill in South Lanarkshire.

Step inside to find the kitchen/diner, a well-equipped space for whipping up hearty meals using the sleek appliances at hand. There's also a handy utility room with a washing machine to help keep things ticking over during your stay. The separate dining room adds a touch of old-school charm, complete with an extra fridge for overflow essentials. After dinner, settle into the sitting room and unwind beside the open fire, or head to the second lounge to catch up on your favourite shows with the Smart TV. For a quieter moment, the sunroom offers another relaxing spot, also with a Smart TV, ideal for a slower pace. Outside, the enclosed garden includes a patio and lawn with outdoor furniture, perfect for laid-back lunches in the open air. There’s a small play area to keep the youngsters busy and, for the grown-ups, a bubbling hot tub for a well-earned soak beneath the stars. When it’s time to call it a night, the ground-floor super-king-size bedroom (which can be set up as a twin if needed) offers plenty of space, its own Smart TV, and a tasteful en-suite. Upstairs, you’ll find a king-size and a double room, each with their own Smart TV, alongside a flexible twin room that can be turned into a super-king-size. Two spacious bathrooms with baths and walk-in showers help keep the morning rush at bay, while an additional shower room adds extra convenience. Venture out from Marshill Farm House to soak up the rich cultural heritage surrounding Draffan. Take a step back in time at New Lanark, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offering fascinating insight into a preserved 18th-century mill village. Embrace the outdoors with a day at Strathaven Park, ideal for family picnics and leisurely walks, maybe even take a ride on the miniature railway. For a touch of military history, visit The Cameronians - Scottish Rifles, and explore their significant regimental collection. Make sure to unearth the architectural gem that is Craignethan Castle, surrounded by stunning views of the rural landscape. At Mauldslie Bridge, enjoy the picturesque vista over the River Clyde and end your day at the nearby Spectacle E'e Falls for a calm and scenic retreat.
