Some of our rooms...

douglas fir

Our biggest bedroom - called Douglas Fir because of the unusual, highly-patterned grain in the old wood that prettily panels the windows, doors and floors throughout the house. Hebridean light bursts through this room’s many high windows. There’s an ensuite bathroom, and a  four-poster overlooking woodland and hills.

roost

A bespoke wood and tweed croft bed is the star of Roost. Like its own softly curtained cabin, nothing could be cosier or more charming. The ensuite has a big cast iron tub in the warmly glamorous ensuite bathroom that’s been in position since 1927. Roost is in the Arts and Crafts wing of the house and its windows look at the forested green banks that surround Home Farm, dotted with deer and red squirrel in the mornings.

jaggy bush

A ‘jaggy bush’ is our childhood nickname for the yellow gorse flowers and thorns that thickly stud the hills and highland behind Home Farm most months of the year. That colour – like condensed Autumn sunlight – finds its way into the newly woven tweed window-seats of this room, which is the oldest in the house and part of the building that dates to the 1600’s. There’s a cottage feel in here. Comfy bed, Laura Thomas products in the bathroom. You’re likely to hear our barn owls making their forays at dusk – they’ve lived in the stable beyond the window for years.

wren

During the renovations at Home Farm we found a little wren living in this room and she’s still here in spirit. This is our smallest bedroom, a sweet nest full of indulgence and detail. A newly-woven tweed headboard and window-seats; oil paintings by Scottish artist Daisy Williams; Laura Thomas products in the bathroom with its window overlooking a wooded bank; cedarwood candles.

the snug

A restful little reception room in the oldest part of the house. The open fire in here puts out a lovely spreading heat very quickly and it’s a perfect place to sit on the sofa or in an armchair with a book and a coffee, or to have a quiet drink. There’s a record player and a wodge of vinyl: a little bit of classical, some blues, funk, jazz. A low window looks out onto Home Farm’s potting shed in the old stables .

The kitchen

Our kitchen is big and bright with a wall of windows overlooking Home Farm’s courtyard. Although it’s in the oldest part of the house there’s nothing cramped here : it’s very much a room to hang out in and chat around the  farmhouse table while cooking or listening to the radio. We have a gas Rangemaster, large fridge-freezer, masses of surfaces and prep space, cupboards and drawers full of all the pans and equipment needed to bake cakes, roast chickens and concoct gigantic stews.  Expect to see owls swooping the courtyard at dusk.

living and dining room

A place to eat and relax long into the evenings. Big dining table, massive sofa, open fire, windows overlooking the garden - and a door leading to the outside covered terrace, where you can sit and eat too. In the Arts and Crafts section of the house, this room is completely cast with the golden colour of the Douglas fir in its original floorboards, panelling and even the dining table. It’s a suntrap in here (and especially on the terrace) mornings and late afternoons: coffee, or sundowner bliss. The lawn just outside is fringed by high trees that the sun sets directly through and beyond – it’s a romantic sight. Red squirrels leap about the trees or patrol the grass looking for the nuts they buried that morning (but can’t recall quite where….)
