About this property

Fabulous open plan house in large country estate close to beach and visitor attractions

The Coach House sleeps up to 8 adult ( = 2 extra children) in 4 bedrooms with 4 bathroom/shower rooms and is situated about 4 miles from Arbroath. Its main feature is the huge living area incorporating the original stonework and arches of the original old Coach House and the tranquil vista into Kinblethmont woodlands through the glass fronted sunroom area. The walled garden and its play area, orchard and large terrace area is a short walk away.

High quality materials have been used throughout from the solid oak staircase to the polished granite work surfaces in the high-specification kitchen with all modern conveniences.

The Coach House is kept cosy and warm with underfloor heating downstairs and radiators upstairs - all fuelled by woodchips from the Kinblethmont estate and there is also a woodburning stove to snuggle up to on chillier evenings. It has a TV with Sky channels, access to streaming services and a DVD player as well as free WiFi for the times you feel like staying indoors.

The patio area is accessed from the sunroom french windows and has tables, chairs and loungers allowing you to make the most of the better weather . Or if you prefer, the sunroom area itself is a suntrap and has chairs for relaxing in allowing you to watch the world go by, do some bird spotting (we provide the binoculars) or simply to keep an eye on the children as they play outside. There is a free to use charcoal BBQ and a gas BBQ is available for you to use for an extra charge.

There is a double bedroom downstairs with a shower room next to it for those who find it more difficult to tackle upstairs. The large family room upstairs can sleep 4 though the use of a day bed and it has a TV for DVDs, The Coach House is attached to 'The Stables' which has its own entrance at the opposite end of the building and its own garden areas. The two properties can however, be opened up for larger family groups.

A high chair and cot can be made available on request at no extra charge and there are retractable stair barriers that you can use.

The property was absolutely beautiful better than the picture, it a great place to stay, we had a group of 8 adults and had the best time. The place was easy to find the grounds are great to explore and has a number of attractions near by. I would definitely recommend this place to stay.

Our second time staying, and we'll be back again.

Very clean, comfortable and well equipped, we rented the coach house and the stables as we needed all 6 bedrooms. Our friends had the chauffeur's cottage. All in all an excellent property in nice surroundings.

I am so glad that these guests enjoyed their stay. Kinblethmont Coach house ( 4 bedrooms) can be joined with the Stables next door to give a large house with 6 bedrooms sleeping 12 with 2 extra children. For larger groups of up to 24 you can also rent the Chauffuer's cottage and/or the Studio close by and we can make a large table in Kinblethmont Coach House to seat everyone.

Superb property

Amazing accommodation in the Coach House on the Kinblethmont estate. Exceptionally well appointed with everything you could need, clean as a pin and crisp white bed linens. I would highly recommend.Located within easy reach of Arbroath where you have to try the Arbroath smokey , visit the working harbour and go for a cliff walk.

Absolute Paradise

We stayed in the Coach House and it was FABULOUS!!! There were 8 of us at one point and we had an amazing time eating at the long table and lounging outside and around the gardens. The weather was perfect and we used the barbeque often. Jessica was super helpful and we had a great time exploring the surrounding area. This place is a gem and we look forward to returning one day : )

A lovely holiday home

The house is very roomy, nicely furnished and well equipped to handle larges groups. The grounds were peaceful and quiet with lovely walking trails throughout the property. We loved the Walled Garden, enjoying a picnic there on our last night. The location is convenient to lots of wonderful Scotand sights, yet away from the hustle & bustle of the city. Jessica made sure we had everything we needed. The entire experience, from booking to departure, was delightful.

Rented coach house and stables for a few days. Was a really good decision, had EVERYTHING we needed, I have rented loads of houses UK and abroad and this one stands out for all the right reasons. Big enough for group of 12 with both adjoining houses. Comfort level was very good. Very private place too. Trying to find a negitive nope can't think of one*****

unforgettable!

We had already expected a lot from the advertisement. But seeing the house was overwhelming. We spent an unforgettable week as a group of seven friends in a luxurious house in a beautiful setting.the only regret was that we were not able to take full advantage of the many facilities offered by the estate, such as the walled garden.

Wanted for nothing!

Our stay at the Coach House and Stables was quite simply perfect, it exceeded all expectations. The house itself is absolutely beautiful and the attention to detail that has gone into making your stay as comfortable as possible is just spot on, we really didn't want to leave! The layout of the house was ideal for a large group, we spent a lot of time at the big table which was ideal. The kitchen and living areas have all the equipment you could possibly need. The surroundings are also beautiful and so peaceful. We were very lucky with the weather so spent time wandering around the grounds and gardens before relaxing in the amazingly comfortable sun loungers. I cannot recommend this place highly enough, it's a hidden gem. I want to keep it to myself but I won't!! Thanks Robert and Jessica, we will be back :)

I am so glad that these guests enjoyed their stay. The rented Kinblethmont Coach House and Stables together for 12 people so we arranged it so there was a long table for everyone to sit together in the sun- room area. The walled garden and paths to it have come on a lot it the last month or so and I pleased to see guests have been enjoying it.

Kinblethmont Coachhouse

A very spacious accommodation which amply suited our party of eight adults and one infant not quite two. We enjoyed a couple of bbq's in the spacious and almost secluded garden which is surrounded by greenery and made good use of the firepit also. The furniture and fittings were of high quality. We enjoyed walking the various paths through the woods to the walled gafden which is massive. There is a badminton and volleyball net set up in the gardens and a table tennis table. There is also a chest with croquet equipment and other bits and pieces. In summary a fabulous place to stay!

This was a three generation October break. We all loved the experience.

The house and grounds were well maintained and very attractive. A major safety concern for the young and old was the open wooden staircase. The open plan ground floor allowed early morning children's play to rouse sleepers and TV needed to be quiet. Overall it is a lovely place to stay. The toy box and play things in a huge walled garden was a big hit.

A Great Stay

We certainly were not disappointed when we arrived at Kinblethmont Couch House. It was such a beautiful home with outstanding surroundings. I would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting the area and it is a must to visit Lunan Bay while staying there. Scotland is a beautiful country and this visit made our trip from Canada certainly worth every minute.

A Little Piece of Heaven

This was our fourth visit to Kinblethmont but our first visit to the Coach House. We loved every second of our stay. My husband and I went with my parents and our 2 sons, aged 12 and 2. There was ample room for us all. My parents had the downstairs room, my 12 year old claimed the family room and my husband, Me and Joe used the other large double room. The house was well equipped and some lovely touches leaving Jam, oat cakes and biscuits in the kitchen. My son's mainly like to play at the amazing Walled Garden. We were there daily and my 2 year old was particularly fascinated with the lawnmowers around the estate which kept the grass maintained! We took our annual trips to Lunan Bay, Friockheim, Arbroath and even managed to see Arbroath win a football match! We will most definitely be back to Kinblethmont. We are all so fond of the place and wee Joe is asking to go on his holidays again so it was a hit for a boisterous toddler too. Thank you for helping us make some wonderful memories.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica Ramsay

Host profile image

Kinblethmont Coach house was the old cart house for Kinblethmont Estate which has been owned by the Ramsay family for generations. The carts would have been in the lower area between the arches with the hayloft above. In later years it housed the smart motor cars before falling into disrepair. In 2012 an EU grant was obtained to have it converted into a beautiful holiday let.
The Ramsay are still farming on the estate - Robert runs the farming and renewable energy, his brother Jonathan the woodlands and estate and Jessica his wife runs the holiday business.

Why they chose this property

This property has never been purchased! - only passed down the generations until it fell into disrepair -see listing story.

What makes this property unique

Kinblethmont Coach House is positioned in the centre of Kinblethmont estate surrounded by tranquil woodlands - such a peaceful place! The huge open plan living area h as a definite wow factor and looking out into the woods with plenty of space for all members of your group. The estate is wonderful -lots of walks and of course the walled garden - sometimes called the secret garden- with its play areas and peaceful setting - a short woodland walk away . You will have everything you need to feel at home and any help only a quick phone call or text away - there will always be someone nearby to help you.
