We
would like to introduce Lochside
Cottage the newest accommodation on
Ranch Chalet Park which can cater for
8 till 10 persons, by telling
something about the history of this
delightful cottage. The cottage is
situated in a beautiful secluded
location at the side - as the
name suggests - of our Loch
Katrina, a ten minute walk from the
other lodges ( and bar/restaurant
/shop ) on our park.. Lochside Cottage
has its own acces from the main
road
As all
the other houses and cottages around,
Lochside Cottage formed part of
the 7000 acre Kindeace Estate. The
estate comprised of no less than
eight farms, a famous Grouse-moor ,
extensive woodlands while a river
formed the estate boundary and that
together with a few lochs made this a
very attractive
sporting-estate.
Lochside
Cottage used to be the Dairyman's
cottage and as such belonged to the
Home Farm , the biggest farm on the
estate which provided meat and milk to
the "big house ". The cottage was
built between 1910 and 1920 in the
typical architectural style of that
time.
During
2003/2004 the cottage was extensively
renovated and enlarged and every
effort has been made to ensure that
accommodation was created to satisfy
the highest expectations while at the
same time trying to maintain the
charms of this authentic
cottage.
