Rennaldburn, Eskdalemuir
We stayed a weekend at a Farm House called Rennaldburn in Eskdalemuir near Samye Ling Tibetan monastery in Scotland. The location is beautiful near a waterfall with a view over the valley. The old farmhouse has been renovated using natural materials and you almost feel the banisters and window ledges are still growing. It even smells woody. Amazing library in the sitting room with open fire. The children were very happy, especially as our son got to play with the owner's son of a similar age, who has the most amazing three story tree house.
It is rented out as self catering (for vegetarians) and is a great place to stay with the family while visiting Samye Ling that does not usually have children staying over night. Although of course we go there to the Cafe for hot chocolate and soya-milk cappuccinos!
