Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Laura Walker
My name is Laura and I stay on the family farm with my husband and kids. I run the cottages as well as helping out my husband with his hunting shop and looking after our brood of Labradors and Cocker Spaniels. Our daughter & son help out with everything too as being on a farm isn't just a job but a way of life. My Mum & Dad live on the farm too so there is plenty of us around should you require anything.
Why they chose this property
The farm is a working arable farm which we took over in 1983. We have a small herd of Highland cows which you will be able to see grazing in the fields in front of the cottage. The family has lived in the Hillfoots for four generations and I feel lucky that my children have had plenty fresh air and freedom growing up in the countryside.
What makes this property unique
Living at the bottom of the Ochil Hills is fantastic as you can walk out your door and head up the hill for a hike. The views from the top are amazing and on a clear day you can see for miles. We are also well located for taking a trip to Glasgow or Edinburgh which are around 45/50 minutes drive. However its nice to come home from the city to a relaxing and peaceful wee cottage.
