Holiday Cottage Scotland, Trossachs, West Calder, UK

Sleeps 3 + 2 or up to 6 using one sofa bed
The most contemporary and open-plan of our properties and the most expensive. "One of the most surprising things about turning up here" writes a visiting journalist, " is that Orlege doesn't feel like holiday accommodation at all but rather a highly characterful and contemporary home.

• Upstairs is a large, split level bedroom with a star-shaped coombed ceiling which has 3 single luxurious divan beds. Wake up in the morning, pull back the velux blinds to right and left of you and feel close to heaven! Two of these single beds can push together and be zip-linked to form a large kingsize double bed. This gives the flexibility of using this bedroom as either a family room, or for 3 singles, or as a double bedroom.
  
• Off the upstairs bedroom is an ensuite bathroom full of light, shapes and surprises!
  
• Also upstairs, before you enter through the door into the bedroom, is an inviting gallery area. The space here allows for a sofa bed which can sleep an “extra person”
  
• Downstairs the spacious living area has split level ceiling heights for interest; at the back is a large solid oak cupboard which, within it, hides a surprisingly discreet double bed with an extremely comfortable fully sprung mattress. One pull of the handle and this bed can come down at night and disappear out of sight again during the day with bedding largely intact and only a row of elegant daytime cupboards on show.
• Concealed within the cupboard doors, on either side of the pull-down bed, is hanging and shelf-space. With one swish an optional double-sided curtain can snake its way at night across the ceiling track here at the back of the living area to provide privacy to anyone in the double pull-down bed using this as a sleeping area.
  
• At the front of the double-height living space, filled with light from both the original windows in the end gable and the new glazed sliding doors that open onto the small flagstoned courtyard, is the multi-fuel stove which burns peat, coal and logs. And what could be nicer than relaxing in one of the two large leather settees or a large bean bag in front of a real living fire? Or dining in splendour seated around the glass dining-table which seats 6, flickering flames in the hearth close by, soft music from the CD player in the background? The effect is of gracious, spacious living.
  
• The equally voluminous and airy kitchen downstairs has lots of interesting features. Granite worktops, oak units and, thanks to the underfloor heating throughout the downstairs, warm-to-the-feet limestone flags. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped and for those impromptu alfresco meals the kitchen table and chairs in the corner are light enough to carry outside through the glazed patio doors and onto the cobbled patio area which belongs exclusively to Orlege.
  
• Separate from the kitchen is a utility room with sink, washing machine and tumble-drier.
