Is a most charming little house, spacious, light, extremely comfortable, and it is also perfectly placed for exploring the lovely Angus glens and further afield to Braemar or the coast of Angus and Aberdeenshire.
It has lovely open views across the surrounding countryside to the hills beyond. The owner's house is the only other dwelling nearby but it is completely invisible from the cottage, so privacy and seclusion are assured.
The first thing that impresses you as you enter the cottage is its spaciousness. The large, south facing sitting room has windows on three sides, including French doors which open to an attractive and enclosed grass garden (furniture), perfect for relaxing on lazy summer evenings. This is adjacent to an excellent and very well-equipped dining kitchen, the size of which would not disgrace an average farmhouse. The delightful double bedroom has a super king size bed.
The nearest of the glens to the cottage is probably Glen Isla, which offers wonderful walking opportunities. But all the Angus Glens should be visited while you are in the area. Each has its own distinctive character and charm, yet all are peaceful and unspoiled. The superb beach at Lunan Bay is 35 miles away, and nearby Kirriemuir (6m) and Alyth both have all facilities and good golf courses. The championship course at Carnoustie is also quite easily accessible from the cottage. Fishing is available locally - Lintrathen Reservoir is just up the road, as is the RSPB reserve at Kinnordy.
For a bit of urban bustle, Dundee (24m) may be the answer. Captain Scott's vessel Discovery may be visited in the harbour, and from there, too, the Tay Bridge will take you across to Fife and historic St Andrews. The late Queen Mother's family home of Glamis Castle is just 7 miles down the road and is well worth a visit.
Perth (25m) is an attractive town with interesting shops and a full range of leisure facilities. Pitlochry, with its famous Festival Theatre in the Hills is 34 miles distant.
Oil central heating, electricity and bed linen are INCLUDED and towels may be hired. Two well behaved dogs are welcome by arrangement. Sorry, no smoking in the cottage.
