The Cabin is a short walk from the North River Esk famous for salmon and sea trout fishing and the small village of Marykirk.
Places of interest we recommend visiting during your stay. Fettercairn distillery one of Scotland's oldest malt whisky distilleries. Brechin castle center provides a variety of activities for families including nature trails, miniature railway and model farm. The cabin is located ten minutes from the coast where you will find Lunan Bay one of the most beautiful beaches in Scotland, popular with surfers and horse riders. Montrose Basin home to thousands of migratory birds including pink-footed geese, common terns, knots and sedge warblers.
Also St Cyrus beach, a nature reserve renowned for its grasslands, rare flowers and butterflies. Cairngorms National Park is approximately 40 miles away with beautiful mountains, forest paths, rivers, lochs, wildlife hot spots, a perfect day out. The Angus Glens are great for walking where you will see some amazing views, an abundance of wildlife and get a taste of rural Angus.
For those that like castles and gardens there is Glamis, Crathes and Dunnotar castle, also the famous Balmoral castle a little further away. Langley Park gardens, Dunnaid Castle gardens and Lady Augusta Erskine's walk at House of Dun.
The popular coastal town of Stonehaven is a 20 minute drive with many sea food restaurants and famous for the fire balls at New Year, a trip to Auntie Betty's is a must for an ice cream. Montrose is a ten minute drive where you will find many shops, supermarkets cafes a post office and chemist.
There is a lovely bistro farm shop a mile away at Balmakewan for a nice lunch and delicious home bakes or a visit to our local pub just a short walk into the village of Marykirk, a former coaching Inn built in the 1800's with a beer garden serving food daily and pet friendly too. If you feel like a cozy night in after a day exploring order a take away and they will deliver for a small charge.
Rowanlea Lodge looks forward to welcoming you to this beautiful part of Scotland.
Discounts apply to full week bookings during off peak season.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Lorna Hutchison

I am from the Orkney Islands and moved to the mainland 22 years ago. Having been brought up on a farm I love the outdoors and all animals. I'm a keen gardener and keep active walking my two dogs. I love to meet up with family and close friends especially at some of my favourite restaurants close by.
From designing Rowanlea Lodge to the finished build has been a great adventure. I have thoroughly enjoyed doing the interior design and would love to build again in the future.

Why they chose this property
Although in a rural location the cabin is close to many small villages, towns, beaches and beautiful countryside. If you need to get away from it all this is the perfect location.
What makes this property unique
You will love my place. The Scottish Douglas Fir trees that have each been carved by hand and used to provide the solid structure of Rowanlea Lodge to the tasteful decor and luxurious furnishings. After a day exploring you can relax outside at the front of the cabin until the sun goes down and take in the spectacular view. If it's a little cold the wood burner will give you that cozy feel and the view is just as lovely through the double patio doors.
I always greet guests on arrival and I'm available to answer any questions about the surrounding area and places of interest to visit. A welcome breakfast hamper sourced from our local farm shop is provided to get your holiday off to a great start, all linen, towels and luxury soaps, free WI-FI, logs and kindling are provided. Our cabin is well equipped for guests so they can settle in and make the most of their holiday.
We look forward to your visit.
