The Experience
Swathed by hills and braes, the farm sits between Loch Lomond and the rolling contours of the Campsie Fells. Deborah and Steve are next door and have restored the Old Dairy and Curlew Cottage with wood floors and local red sandstone to the highest eco-standards. Solar panels and underfloor heating keep things cosy while rooms zing with natural light; all is crisp and clean.
Home-baked bread, marmalade and the farm’s own eggs come as standard in the kitchen. Pick some herbs from the box outside and rustle up a feast for friends or family – Deborah can organise a meat order with the local butchers if you wish.
On chilly days throw a log on the wood-burner and put your feet up with a piece of tasty shortbread. At the end of the driveway a small hill (The Dumpling) makes an ideal nursery slope for little climbers, with a dazzling view from the top. The Loch has a Sealife Centre, canoe and cycle hire and cafés. Stirling, Glasgow and Edinburgh aren’t too far.

We had a most enjoyable week in the Old Dairy. The cottage was spotless and we really appreciated the barbecue that was supplied for our use. The electric car charger made our stay so much easier as we travelled far and wide in Western Scotland enjoying the good weather and amazing scenery. The owners Deborah and Steve are very helpful and friendly.

The cottage was very clean and comfortable; renovated to a very high spec, with a lovely view from the sitting room. The sitting room was light and airy and the kitchen area fitted out well. Lovely walks, parks and RSPB sites in the surrounding areas with curlews and oyster catchers within earshot of the cottage. The cottage and its surroundings were very quiet and relaxing. Very convenient location for touring. The welcome pack on arrival was absolutely amazing, with lots of goodies provided. The owners very friendly and helpful. One of the best cottages that we have stayed in.

Modern & homely with everything we could ask for. While the trampoline undercover & a cuddle with some newborn lambs was everything the kids could ask for! Our stay at Curlew Cottage was a perfect Easter break. From the instructions for arrival, the welcome food including homemade bread, & a wood burning stove prepared, all added to the warm welcome. The hosts were attentive & available for requests & suggestions, making sure the kids met their new lambs. The local shop is small but well stocked & walkable along the country road. Plenty of walks and sights on Loch Lomond. Highly recommend.

The proximity to Loch Lomond could be enough to make a stay at East Cambusmoon a must, but the accommodation itself is fantastic. Deborah and Steve have done a brilliant job creating warm, welcoming and gorgeously stylish homes on the farm using the most advanced ecological technology. We stayed in Curlew and loved the feeling of light and space and looking out onto fields and hills from the picture windows. The house is perfectly configured and well equipped for family groups or combinations of friends and we hope to come back with more of ours.

We loved everything about Curlew Cottage: the setting, the design, the beautiful views from every window. It has been so thoughtfully designed that it is a real joy to stay there. It is so cosy and warm, whilst at the same time feels very spacious. The local area is lovely, with a lovely cafe 5 minutes away, a play park both on site and 5 minutes walk away, lovely walks to the banks of Loch Lomond and some of the most spectacular views of Loch Lomond and Ben Lomond only a stones throw away. The thoughtful welcoming touches from the hosts were a lovely touch.

We stayed at Curlew Cottage for 4 nights and had originally planned to have some friends join us for an overnight but due to restrictions, this couldn't happen meaning we had the cottage to ourselves...2 adults, 2 teenagers and our dog, so plenty of space. The cottage was perfect. In a great location, peaceful, amazing views and stunning inside. Everything was clean, comfortable and the break was really relaxing which was just what we needed. The cottage also had the added bonus of electric chargers for our cars so made getting around really easy. Thanks for a fab trip...we'll be back soon!

What a wonderful place to spend a week! We stayed in Curlew Cottage, which was beautifully designed and equipped. The cottage is both cosy and spacious, and all the details have been well considered -- we especially loved the large picture windows that looked over the green fields and horizon. we were delighted to be find fresh-baked bread and homemade marmalade awaiting our arrival, and Deborah was very welcoming and hopeful with recommendations of things to do locally. I highly recommend spending some time at this beautiful farm!

The cottage was spotless, very modern and very comfortable. The hosts are very friendly and live on site in case you have any problems - but they stay out of the way if you don’t need them! We were given a lovely Welcome Pack which included eggs which had just been laid that morning - delicious! I’m planning to come back. The surrounding area is beautiful and there’s a handy little restaurant nearby where the strawberry tarts are to die for!

Deborah and Steve have created two superb eco friendly cottages that are light, airy and cosy on their small holding. Curlew is the ideal cottage to have extended family or a girls' get-together. Deborah is extremely helpful and friendly and very happy to provide the extra games for your children, routes to go walking, great places to eat, and more, making it a great place to base your holiday.

We have stayed on several occasions in both Culew and The Old Dairy cottages at East Cambusmoon. Debs and Steve are excellent hosts. We love the modern eco accommodation in traditional farm buildings, a blend that works so well. Your every need is catered for with super well equipped kitchen and bathroom, comfy beds and even guides to cycles and running trails just outside your door. The accommodation feels very luxurious. We also love the outstanding views and enormous playground of lochs and mountains surrounding the farm. It’s a place to relax and regenerate and a real gem.

We spent a very relaxing week in this superb cottage with our dog. Deborah and Steve have put a lot of thought into the design and fitting of The Old Dairy. The location is perfect for exploring the area and there are some wonderful, scenic walks and drives from the house. The afternoons close in quite early in Scotland this time of year but we were very comfortable just enjoying relaxing in the lounge with the cosy fire and magnificent views from the window. We will definitely return someday.

Introducing
Deborah & Steve Macken
Deborah and Steve live next door; expect a warm welcome. When not ‘living the good life’ on their smallholding they run a renewable energy business. They’ve used their experience to ensure the carbon footprint of the cottages is as small as possible. The farm produces its own honey - pop on a suit and ask Steve to show you around the hives.
This was a great place to stay - ideal location, quality furnishings, a very welcoming host & plenty of space for our group of 4. Highly recommended.
