A Market Full of Character
More than just a shopping stop, The Cottage Market is a celebration of local talent. You’ll find over 60 vendors lining the street, each bringing something unique to the table. There are handmade crafts, artisan creations, home-baked treats, seasonal produce, natural skincare, and thoughtful gifts you won’t stumble upon anywhere else. Many visitors describe it as a place where every stall has a story, and every maker is passionate about their craft.
The atmosphere is part of what makes this market so memorable. The street fills with the sound of local musicians performing live, adding an upbeat backdrop as you wander from one stall to the next. There’s usually an outdoor seating area, too—ideal for taking a moment to relax, enjoy a warm drink, and watch the world go by. It’s lively, cheerful, and wonderfully welcoming.
Another highlight is how fresh and ever-changing the market feels. Vendors rotate, new makers appear, and seasonal items bring new energy each time it runs. Whether you’re a regular or a first-time visitor, you’ll always find something new to discover.
Make a Day Trip Into a Well-Deserved Escape
While the market itself is a perfect way to spend a day, why not elevate the outing into a full overnight getaway?
After an afternoon of browsing, sampling, chatting and strolling, nothing beats retreating to a warm, comfortable hotel where you can properly unwind. That’s where The Bailie Hotel comes in.
Located only a short drive away, The Bailie offers the ideal base for a mini break. Settle in for the evening, enjoy a relaxing night away from home, and let someone else take care of everything for a change. The charm of the market combined with the comfort of a cosy hotel stay turns an ordinary day trip into something special.
And the best part? When you wake up the next morning, a delicious hot breakfast is included with your stay. It’s the kind of breakfast that sets the tone for the entire day—fresh, hearty, and served with the warm hospitality The Bailie is known for. Whether you prefer something light or a proper full plate, it’s the perfect finish to a weekend escape.
