Opposite is a lovely dining table that folds away if needed, for romantic dinners or casual meals. Bespoke and well-equipped, the kitchen has everything you need for your stay.

Tucked behind the lounge with a partial screen is the double bed that enjoys tranquil views through the window, and is comfortable and cosy to ensure a good night of rest. Situated at the far end of the accommodation, the bathroom is more contemporary in style, with a rainfall shower and a WC.

Step back through the front door onto the private decked area, which has a seating area and a gas BBQ so you can dine alfresco and enjoy the fresh air and countryside views.

We had a lovely stay! Everything was spot on, from the booking process to the directions. The place was warm, super cleanand well-equipped. Just a quick 6-minute drive to the town with plenty of pubs. The hottub was a real highlight too!

Great service and quality
Amelia
We’ve tried quite a few micro cabins, but The Hideout (we stayed in The Stag) really stands out. It’s super peaceful, cosyand has everything you could need. Perfect if you’re after some proper downtime. Plus, getting out to explore is easy - local cafes, barsand the lovely New Lanark Falls are nearby for nice walks. We stayed from Saturday to Tuesdayand honestly, it was just the right amount of time. Would definitely recommend!
James
We had a fantastic stay at The Hideaway-Stag! The hosts were super friendly and gave us plenty of helpful tips. The pod itself was stunning, both inside and outand everything we needed was right at our fingertips. It was spotless, tidyand really cosy. The walks were lovely, just a quick 20-minute stroll into Biggarand the weather was so sunny! We especially enjoyed unwinding in the hot tub after a day’s exploring. Honestly, we wished we had booked longer-definitely coming back for more!
Jamie
We stayed in the pod and loved the incredible view of the fields and woodland with Mount Tinto in the background. It was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully arranged, with everything we needed for a comfy stay. Relaxing on the decking or soaking in the hot tub while watching wildlife-cows, sheep, owlsand hares-was just perfect. The location is ideal, within walking distance of Biggar and great for exploring Edinburgh or Glasgow. Definitely a peaceful spot we’ll return to!
James
This place is just lovely, with stunning views right at the door. Relaxing in the hottub while watching cattle run by was truly special. Definitely would come back again and again!
Emma
Really enjoyed our weekend, the pod was super comfy and had all essentials.
Emma
The place is in a fantastic spot-beautiful scenery and just a short walk to a lovely little town. The pod was cosy, well-equippedand the hot tub was a lovely bonus. Would definitely stay again!

Smoo Cave - IV27 4QB
about 28 Miles
Smoo Cave is a popular attraction which can be enjoyed all year round but visitors should wrap up warm during the winter months.  This spectacular limestone sea-cave in Sutherland is the largest in Britain and is simply spectacular. The cave was formed by a burn that runs down into the rear chamber, as well as erosion caused by the sea. Guests can take the path from the car park which runs right through the cave. Boat trips are available in the summer months and are an excellent way to fully appreciate the cave from all angles.
