About this property
Situated in 10-acre grounds complete with tennis court, this newly refurbished wonderful property has enough space for the whole family.. Situated in the grounds of Old Montrose House, the owners’ home, next to the Montrose Basin Nature Reserve, are these five holiday properties offering high-quality accommodation close to each other, yet separate.
The Stables (ref UK11108) is a luxurious, detached conversion on two levels with a high spec finish and chic furnishings. Beautifully renovated and lovingly restored, it combines traditional cottage ambience with contemporary style, and features a walk-around gallery in the centre of the building above the living room.
The Old Gasworks Building (ref UKC2272) is a newly refurbished, delightful, detached cottage, which has been built on a historic site, and provides a very stylish and comfortable holiday home.
Gardener’s Cottage (ref UKC3040) is a gorgeous, upside-down, detached cottage which was formerly the head gardener’s house in times past. Furnished with style and flair, this quirky cottage is wonderfully situated in a secluded spot in the grounds, with a private sunny garden and patio off the main bedroom where you can soak up the sun in peace.
Grieve’s Cottage (ref UK11107) is a little gem – a tastefully furnished and spacious, one-bedroomed cottage with an open plan living space on the ground floor and a spacious bedroom with a sumptuous bed and en-suite shower room on the first floor.
The Garden Room (ref UK34071) is a stunning conversion of the original potting shed and offers a unique holiday experience. One half of the property is taken up with an enormous conservatory, stylishly designed and furnished to complement the garden surroundings, while the other half houses a high-quality kitchen, shower room and double bedroom. All guests have access to the owners’ large enclosed walled garden, hard tennis court and small putting green.
The idyllic peaceful surroundings are complemented by a structured walled garden and other features, including a rose garden intersected by pathways to meander through and stop to enjoy the scents of summer. Just a short drive from the centre of Montrose, this is an ideal base from which to explore an area that is rich in culture, wildlife and heritage. Montrose sits on a peninsula between the South and North Esk rivers.
The magnificent sandy beach, golf courses and links area are very popular with tourists, as well as additional leisure facilities including tennis courts, bowling greens and parks. There are plenty of good cycle routes around the cottage and throughout the area, and for golfers, there are over 30 courses within an hour’s drive, including the championship courses of Carnoustie and St Andrews. Excellent beaches, including Lunan Bay, Arbroath and St Cyrus, are nearby and are ideal for surfing or enjoying a barbecue. Fishing can also be found within easy reach. Beach 3½ miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 3½ miles.

Overall a lovely holiday The property is set in beautiful grounds Great use of the putting green Our lower rating for comfort and equipment is due to one toilet being out of order one shower unusable and a dripping tap in the kitchen We were there for 4nights none of the above was rectified which for a 5 star rating was disappointing
