We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was comfortable, very clean and well equipped. Our host, Bel, was friendly and helpful. Don’t be concerned that it’s directly behind a butcher’s shop. This was no bother and the staff there were very friendly - we bumped into them from time to time but it did not affect our privacy. Edzell is a charming village and a great location for exploring the wider area.

The cottage was perfect. It was like a home from home - you didn't need anything else especially in the kitchen.

Butchers cottage is beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. Furnishing of great quality. Soft furnishings beautifully coordinated. The kitchen was very well equipped. The breakfast basket was delicious. Coffee, tea, jam, milk, washing up liquid, kitchen roll, cling film and tin foil were also provided. The back patio area was a little bare ,but a sun trap. The village had a good coffee shop Sinclairs, 2 x hotels and of course the family butchers. Lots to do further afield . House of Dun, St Cyrus beach, blue door walk various farm shops with coffee shops .
