The details

Perched above a much-loved independent bookshop and coffee shop in the heart of Dollar, this enchanting two-bedroom flat offers a unique blend of literary charm and modern luxury. Ideal for book lovers and those seeking a peaceful Scottish escape, this stylish retreat invites you to slow down, unwind and let your days flow as easily as the stories that line the shelves below.

Step through your private gate and ascend to a beautifully appointed apartment where every detail has been thoughtfully designed. The cosy lounge, with its wood-burning stove, plush seating and shelves brimming with books, is the perfect spot to curl up on a quiet morning, a steaming cup of coffee in hand. Sunlight pours through the windows, while soft lighting and contemporary décor create a serene and homely atmosphere.

The open plan kitchen and dining space offers sweeping views of the surrounding hills, a reminder that Dollar sits in one of Scotland’s most picturesque valleys. Cook leisurely meals in the fully equipped kitchen, complete with induction hob, oven, dishwasher and elegant crockery.

Both bedrooms are calm and inviting, each with a sumptuous king size bed, Simba mattress, down duvet and soft linen bedding for restful nights. Wake to the sound of the village coming to life or the stillness of the hills beyond. The tranquil bathroom is a sanctuary in itself, featuring a free-standing bath for indulgent soaks, a walk-in shower and underfloor heating for spa-like comfort.

Step outside to enjoy the walled courtyard garden. This is a lovely spot for morning coffee or a glass of wine with your loved ones at sunset.
