Burnmouth Cottage is an old stone cottage 30 miles north of Dundee on a private country Estate encompassing 6,000 beautiful acres at the top of one of the very favourite Angus Glens - Glen Prosen - beloved by J.M. Barrie of Peter Pan fame and by Captain Scott who planned his last Antarctic Expedition there.
It stands detached at the entrance to the Estate, at the side of a burn that rushes fresh water down from the hills and woods behind it to join the River Prosen (3 miles of trout-fishing) a matter of yards away; and it is one of a very few small cottages and a church that make up the tiny hamlet of Glenprosen. It has been cleverly and attractively renovated internally without losing its original cosy atmosphere, and is excellent for two couples who like their comforts and prefer to have their own en-suite bathrooms.
All around there is wonderful walking (try the 'whisky road' used by smugglers thru' Glen Lethnot), and climbing (2 Munros); while horse-riding, fishing, and bicycles for hire are available on the Estate. Further afield, there are many golf-courses (such as Carnoustie); castles (such as Glamis); museums (such as Scott's Royal Research Ship 'Discovery' in Dundee); and an interesting coast with sandy beaches for day outings. In the Winter Season there is 'cross-country' skiing; and 'downhill skiing' 25 miles away at Glenshee.
Heating is by multi-fuel stove and electricity. Bed-linen is INCLUDED (all the beds have electric-blankets), and towels can be hired. One dog is welcome but must be kept on a lead within the Estate.
