Perfect mini break

So lucky to have found this wonderful cottage for our annual get-together of family and friends. Accommodation is first class for comfort and amenity. And the on-site spa is truly a luxurious addition. Ideal location in the beautiful Angus countryside. Perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Many thanks to our hosts, Paula and Robert, we look forward to seeing you again.

Das wahrlich perfekte Ferienhaus!

Wir verreisen seit 10 Jahren mit 4 Kindern und haben jedes Jahr Ferienhäuser genutzt, haben also eine Menge Erfahrungen gesammelt. Dieses Ferienhaus ist das beste und perfekteste jemals gewesen. Perfekt ausgestattet, wahnsinnig gemütlich und die perfekte Abrundung für einen tollen Urlaub in Schottland. Robert und Paula sind die perfekten Gastgeber, die alle Wünsche möglich machen und uns nicht nur mit Ihrer professionellen Art begeistert haben, sondern auch menschlich. Absolute Empfehlung von uns!!!!! We have been traveling with 4 children for 10 years and have used holiday homes every year so have gained a lot of experience. This vacation home is the best and most perfect ever. Perfectly equipped, incredibly comfortable and the perfect way to round off a great holiday in Scotland. Robert and Paula are the perfect hosts, who make all wishes possible and not only inspired us with their professional manner, but also as people. Absolute recommendation from us!!!!!

Why they chose this property

The buildings date from around 1890, the old steadings and mill form a complex
of buildings which include: a private house, a cottage and a bed & breakfast.

What makes this property unique

We also offer the use of our luxurious spa area with a swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi, and aquarium. These facilities are NOT included in the price of your stay but are available for all our guests who want to book it for some relaxing downtime. The use of this area should be booked in advance if at all possible, especially for the use of the sauna. This guarantees your group’s private time and also avoids too many guests in the spa area at any given time. Swimming Pool and Spa Area rules are provided prior to your stay.
