Lovely setting close to the sea with all the amenities one would expect. The second TV was really useful as the Euros were on and one partner was not keen on sport. The rooms were light and the high ceilings gave a feeling of space.

Beautiful cottage, furnished to a high standard with every mod con you could ask for. Spotlessly clean and in a nice quiet location. Montrose town centre is only ten minutes away in the car, lovely beach at Montrose. Dunniald Castle only a five minute walk from the cottage, they have a beautiful walled garden to walk round or have a seat in the sunRead more, all you can hear is the birds. There is an outstanding beach only a mile from the cottage, Lunan Bay. Highly recommend this cottage. Hide

Could not be in a better location for access to lovely beaches north and south of Montrose. A lovely cottage with everything I needed - smart TV and a TV in the bedroom were much appreciated. I enjoyed all the wildlife close by. I only saw one red squirrel but they're definitely there. Lots of roe deer in the woods, plus hedgehog, woodpeckers .....Read more. I even saw dolphins from the beach at Lunan bay. The walled garden at the castle is lovely, it was nice having pleasant walks on doorstep. Hide
