This gorgeous archetypal stone cottage is in a blissful rural retreat, set amongst the rolling hills and Glens beyond Kirriemuir. With hens, pet sheep, two horses and calves in the surrounding fields, you will feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
The interior is sumptuous and welcoming with a cosy wood burner in the open plan lounge/kitchen to greet you in after a busy day out, while all interior wood and the kitchen worktops have been custom made using the timber from an oak tree that fell naturally in the grounds of the property. The bedrooms are spacious with zip and link kingsize beds in the downstairs bedroom, and kingsize sleigh bed in the upper room, accessed via a wrought iron spiral staircase with a glass balustrade and gallery overlooking the lounge.
The bathroom has a separate shower with a monsoon shower head and a lovely bath to soak in and soothe aching limbs. Outside, there is an enclosed lawn to the front as well as a raised patio with a fabulous hot tub where you can sit and look up at the stars. The owner thoughtfully provides robes for you. Perfect.
If you can tear yourself away, the area has much to offer the visitor. There are great walks accessible nearby, through Glen Prosen and Clova or magnificent walking, bird-watching, mountain biking, and further afield, downhill skiing at Glen Shee (25 miles). Kirriemuir is just a short drive away and is perhaps most famous for being the birthplace of JM Barrie, the creator of Peter Pan. Kirriemuir is at the foot of the Angus Glens and on the perimeter of the Cairngorm National Park, and there are plenty of interesting shops and eateries in the town.

Excellent, remote, holiday cottage. Ideal for exploring the cairngorms and surrounding areas. Beautiful inside and out. Highly recommended. Sure we will return.

Lovely bothy, very spacious. Wood burning stove was fantastic and hot tub was enjoyable. Very quiet and peaceful. Spiral staircase was beautiful to look at but not easy to manage during the night! My only suggestion would be to supply bigger towels, the bath towels don't really cover that much so a big fluffy bath sheet would be ideal!

Very well positioned property just over an hour to Glenshee and just 45 minutes to lunnan bay. 20 mins to Forfar for shopping.we stayed 5nights and enjoyed the hot tub,wood burning stove,underfloor heating.internet speed good so take your firestick.There is a freezer and tumble dryer in shed(we never used).garden is enclosed to keep dog safe.There is ample wood supplied but more available if required for a small fee. Nice bottle of wine as welcome gift.only suggestion would be to not put the wine in but have a little starter pack like milk and a little assortment of Scottish fare to the region like oatcakes ,shortbread,gingerbread with some mini jams.it wouldn’t cost anymore than the wine but a nice touch for the non drinkers.The kitchen has everything you need as well as coffee ,tea,sugar as well as other ingredients to assist your cooking.We stay in many places and for sure we will return to this beautiful peaceful highland getaway.
