What an amazing place to stay. The property was spotlessly clean, everything about the stay was amazing. The outdoor area was perfect and such a sun trap. We will definately be booking to stay again.
Loved this house! Beautiful area. Not far from grocery, gas or harbor. It was clean and comfortable. The hosts John & Shirley let us feel as if it were our home yet were readily available for towels, bedding change and questions. Thanks for a great stay!
Beautiful place, every thing you require in the kitchen and they had coffee, milk and bread there for us, situated in a quiet place but lots of places to go by car from there.
We would all stay there again, they also accepted all our dogs

Thank you for your great review of Wester Den. We are extremely pleased you had a great time here and we hope to see you again in the future.
My partner and I spent 3 lovely nights at Wester Den, the house was clean, warm and had everything we needed. The covered area outside was perfect for cosy nights watching the sun go down, even when it was raining.
We will definitely be back :)

Thank you Karolin for your great review. We are delighted you enjoyed your holiday and we were only too happy to fulfill your requests.
A very clean, cosy and beautiful home. It's located in walking distance to shops, restaurants and beach. The property owner was very quick to respond and very thoughtful, thought of every detail that made our stay comfortable and pleasant.
Looking forward to coming back in a near future. I would definitely recommend this property.
From the moment I booked this property, the communication from the owners was first class. Another thing that was very helpful was the online information package about the property and the area. The house was immaculate, beautifully presented with every detail taken care of. In addition the location was perfect. I would definitely recommend the house for anyone wanting to be in the Arbroath, Carnoustie area.

Thank you John, it was a pleasure to welcome you to Wester Den and delighted you enjoyed it.
Wester Den certainly lived up to the Vbro details. Everything about it was braw, super relaxing wee break and with our dog which is the way we like it. Shirley was very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble.

Thank you Frances for your lovely review, we loved to hear that you had great stay with us. Our aim is for our guests to have an enjoyable and relaxing visit at Wester Den so were more that happy to be accommodating. Merry Christmas to all your family and we hope to see you again.
The house was immaculate and had many lovely finishing touches, even for our dog. We were welcomed and were checked upon to ensure everything was to high standards which it absolutely was.
The house itself has a great lay out and so much space from seating areas, bedrooms and storage.
The garden is very big and private with an outside covered seating area and a huge BBQ so lots of outside space to utilise in the better weather.
The location itself is quiet and not far from the beach to walk along where is a great park for the kids and not far to get to Dundee and Carnoustie.
Highly recommend.

What makes this property unique
Wester Den is at the west end of a converted "tattie (potato) shed". It was designed and built by an award winning local architect Heinz Voigt. The house's main architectural feature is the magnificent glass roof which provides a sheltered terrace to enjoy all year round BBQs, cooking and dining area. From here there's uninterrupted countryside views.
