Dunlappie Lodge has a wonderful feel to it.And the picnic table in the garden was great for the hot days to eat out, or just have a wine or two.It is well situated for exploring Angus and Aberdeenshire.I would definitely return.

The ower was very helpful and quick to get problems resolved, however, there were many problems and we felt most should have been fixed before we arrived.
