FA’SIDE HOUSE & COTTAGE
Hidden within private woodland gardens yet close to Newton Mearns
Fa’side Cottage, Newton Mearns to the south of Glasgow, offers a perfect base for those keen on peaceful seclusion whilst wanting to be close to urban amenities. This charming three‑bedroom retreat features thoughtful interiors and panoramic views stretching across Glasgow.
The Cottage
✔ Three Bedrooms
✔ 2 Bathrooms
✔ Secluded private setting
Whether you're stay is about discovery of the local area or cherished time with family, your stay promises a tranquil and cosy home from home.
The cottage offers generous living space, thoughtfully converted from what was once a garage and, before that, likely a traditional barn. This bright, open‑plan area includes a modern kitchen, dining space, a cosy ground‑floor lounge, and a mezzanine level designed for relaxed living.
The three bedrooms and two bathrooms are located in the original cottage, which dates back to 1709 and was fully renovated in 2019. This blend of historic character and contemporary comfort creates a warm, welcoming place to unwind.

Of course! Let us know if you need use of our Baby Bjorn cot when booking and will ensure it is set up for your arrival. We also have a high-chair and baby change for younger guests. Please be aware that we have a spiral stair case which we cannot fit a stairgate onto, should this be an issue.

We do allow up to 2 well-behaved dogs. We have a friendly dog who lives with us next door. We prefer that dogs don’t go upstairs to the carpeted bedrooms and dogs are not allowed on beds and sofas. We ask that owners take care that their dog does not use the spiral staircase just in case they get stuck. Our grounds are absolute dog heaven with plenty of space to exercise and lots of smells. Please note we keep chickens in our stable yard and sheep and goats in our front field. Whilst they are fenced in with stock fencing, dog owners should make an judgement as to whether that will be an issue.

Your Hosts
Hello, we are the Green family and you are most welcome to come and stay in our cottage. We really hope you will enjoy your stay with us and that it feels like a home away from home. We live in the main house with our two children so if you have any questions during your stay, please just ask, we are a hop, skip and a jump over the courtyard.
