We stayed put because everything we needed was right there. Will definitely come back!

We loved the cosy cottage - really well stocked and spotless. The secure garden was a big plus, especially since we have small dogsand they could roam freely. Tony and Nicola made us feel so welcome, creating a perfect spot to unwind. The location’s great too. We definitely want to come back. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!
Emma
We just got back from an amazing week at Quercus with our two Labradors. The place really feels like a home away from home, thoughtfully set up for both dog owners and those without pets. Everything we needed was there - from cosy dog beds and bowls to towels and throws, which made packing so much easier. The welcome basket and lovely toiletries were a nice touch. The hot tub and sunshine made it even more special. We’re already planning our next visit, can’t wait to come back!

We had such a lovely stay! Nicola and Tony are genuinely warm hosts who made us feel at home. The cottage was spotless and well stocked, but what really stood out was the outdoor space - perfect for relaxing while the dogs had a blast in the secure garden and paddock.

We had a fantastic time at Quercus! The cottage is such a charming spot, tucked away in peaceful rural surroundings, making it perfect for a quiet getaway. Tony and Nicola really thought of everything you might need, which was a lovely touch. The area is stunning, with plenty of lovely walks and easy drives to Edinburgh or Glasgow. We didn’t bring our dog, but there’s loads nearby for dogless days. Biggar’s a cute townand places like New Lanark and Roslin Chapel are well worth a visit. Would definitely come back!

We had a lovely stay! The cottage felt really snug, especially with the log burner and plenty of wood. The welcome hamper was a nice touchand all the cooking gear you could need was there. The huge enclosed garden and field right outside were perfect for our staffy to run around freely. Totally private, which was great for our reactive dog. We’re definitely coming back next year!

Our first visit to Quercus and it definitely won’t be our last! Despite the rubbish weather, the secure 5-acre field was perfect for our dogs to burn off steam. The welcome pack was spot on, both for us and the pups. Everything you could need in a holiday lodge was thereand the owners are lovely-close enough but not clingy. We loved the log burner and spent ages watching the birds and squirrels, which kept us all entertained. We’re already planning our next trip and totally recommend Hide!
Emma
We stayed at Quercus cottage for two nights with our two dogs and honestly, it was fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we felt really welcomed, especially with the lovely hamper and the thoughtful setup for our pups. The fully enclosed garden, reinforced with chicken wire, gave us peace of mind, which was great. We lucked out with a snowy weekend, perfect for walks and cosy nights by the log burner. It was just what we needed! Definitely planning to return. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cosy getaway with dogs involved!
Sam Harper
This cosy little cabin tucked away in a peaceful spot was just what we needed. The private setting meant total tranquilityand our Jack Russells, Bella and Buddy, loved having a secure garden to play in freely. Tony and Nicola were lovely; we had a couple of chats while walking their dog. Everything was thought of, making it a perfect getaway. We’ll definitely be back someday - highly recommend!
Emma
We found this place to be quite a hidden treasure. The owners are genuinely friendly and make you feel right at homeand they’re really good with dogs - not just tolerating them. The garden is secure, so you can relax without worries. It’s tucked away from busy spots, ideal for dogs that get overwhelmed in crowds. Plus, the adjoining secure field means you could easily stay a week and never need to leave. Absolutely perfect for us!

If you're after a quiet spot with plenty of room for dogs to run around, this place really is a good place. We loved it!
