It’s honestly a little gemand we can’t wait to come back!

We had such a lovely time staying at the Alpaca barn with our Labrador. The cottage was really cosy, spaciousand spotless, which was perfect. We especially appreciated the enclosed garden so we could let the dog out freely in the mornings. The forest walk right from the doorstep was a bonusand the exercise field was great for some playtime. Biggar’s a charming little town with nice cafes and a friendly pub. We also found a cute pet shop and picked up some treats for the pup while relaxing in the hot tub!
