Happy guests

The Foxglove cottages have plenty of admirers on TripAdvisor:

‘Excellent cottage in a beautiful part of Scotland. Recently returned from a three night stay at Foxglove with my wife. Cottage was fantastic, had everything we needed and very comfortable. Excellent spa bath and outdoor deck area, great for relaxing when the sun is out. The surrounding area is great for walking (cottage is very close to the West Highland Way route). Will definitely be returning in the future and would highly recommend.’

Christmas gift

While Foxglove Cottages are just a short drive from Glasgow and only a ten minute walk from Drymen’s pubs and restaurants, Foxglove enjoys a gloriously rural setting and guests often spot deer, owls, hawks and a myriad of other wildlife.

Ideal for a post-festive break and also a lovely idea for a Christmas present.
