About Shetland Cottage

Shetland Cottage offers accommodation in Balgowan on Inverness Farm. Come and share the quiet tranquillity of our working farm in the beautiful Caversham Valley. Inverness Farm is centrally situated, right in the heart of the popular Midlands Meander route, within easy reach of the finest restaurants, schools, spas, galleries and wedding venues in the country. This area is also a well known mountain bike and trail running destination, with miles and miles of single track and forest to explore.

Situated on top of a hill overlooking the beautiful Caversham Valley, we are blessed with magnificent 360 degree views. From the early morning mists in the valleys below to the glorious late afternoon sunsets on the surrounding mountains and forests, we are wonderfully spoilt and always in awe of our spectacular surroundings.

Self Catering Accommodation

Shetland Cottage in Balgowan is a cosy, stylish one bedroom cottage furnished with a King-size bed which has been beautifully dressed in crisp white linen and a fluffy duvet. The bathroom is fitted with a shower, toilet and basin. Quality towels and bathroom amenities are provided.

The cottage has a comfortably furnished lounge which has a fireplace to keep it warm and cosy during the chilly winter months. The kitchen is well equipped for self catering and includes stove and oven, a bar fridge, kettle, toaster, cutlery and crockery. For your convenience, tea, coffee, homemade rusks and fresh farm milk are provided.

We are spoilt for choice when it comes to excellent restaurants in our area and can gladly make recommendations or arrange a table for you. Piggly Wiggly has a number of activities from putt putt to candle dipping, zip lining and a petting zoo and there are a number of fantastic farmers markets; Earth Route Market in Nottingham Road, Swissland Cheese for goats milk cheeses and the Karkloof Farmers Market.

The well known Midlands Meander will keep you busy for hours; have lunch at Abingdon Wine Estate, explore the Karkloof Canopy Tours, go birding, enjoy a round of golf, try a few new beers at the Lions River Brewery, stock up on coffee at Terbodore Coffee Roasters, visit the Mandela Capture Site or try your luck trout fishing.
