Couples can relax in this luxury cottage with miles of walking trails, cycle routes and an abundance of wildlife nearby.. 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 totally 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 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 sumptuous bed and en-suite shower room on the first floor.
The Garden Room (ref UK34071) is an absolutely 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.

Excellent property and grounds. Very easy to get to although completely private.
Thus is a 5 star cottage that can be enjoyed any month of the year. There was a wonderful welcome pack and the owners were available for any queries.

Really lovely cottage with great hosts in a fantastic beautiful location.
Really lovely cottage with great hosts in a fantastic beautiful location. Close to Lunan Bay. Richard was very friendly, really accommodating. Would definitely stay here again in future. We stayed here over Christmas and my only tiny niggle is that we didn't have a real Christmas tree which is something I was expecting for this high quality type of cottage, however this is just me being picky and we did see that they've started growing some so its possibly something in future and it certainly didnt put a damper on our holiday and I still very much give it a 10 out of 10!

Beautiful location and it was a gorgeous cottage.
Beautiful location and it was a gorgeous cottage. The only criticism I have is the cottage was not as clean as we expected for a 5* property and the TV in the lounge was described as a smart TV in the property description but had no connection to the internet so was unable to access my Netflix or Prime Video accounts.

Grieve's Cottage was a great find.
Grieve's Cottage was a great find. Charming renovation, cosy and very well equipped, in the heart of Angus. Rural yet close to amenities, it gave easy access to all our usual birding haunts. The owners were welcoming and had put a lot of effort into providing a lovely place to get away and relax. On site facilities, beautiful walled garden and putting green give that little extra. Highly recommend and hope to return soon.

Richard and Elaine were fabulous hosts. The cottage had everything we needed and it was spotlessly clean. The putting green and tennis court is a plus. Private, quiet and comfortable.
