A pleasant single-storey lodge nestled in Kirriemuir, Angus. Open-plan. Enclosed garden. Off-road parking. Pet-friendly. Dundee 21.7 miles; Aberdeen 61.5 miles.

This gorgeous archetypal stone cottage is in a blissful rural retreat, set amongst the rolling hills and Glens beyond Kirriemuir. With hens, pet sheep, two horses and calves in the surrounding fields, you will feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

The interior is sumptuous and welcoming with a cosy wood burner in the open plan lounge/kitchen to greet you in after a busy day out, while all interior wood and the kitchen worktops have been custom made using the timber from an oak tree that fell naturally in the grounds of the property. The bedrooms are spacious with zip and link kingsize beds in the downstairs bedroom, and kingsize sleigh bed in the upper room, accessed via a wrought iron spiral staircase with a glass balustrade and gallery overlooking the lounge.
The bathroom has a separate shower with a monsoon shower head and a lovely bath to soak in and soothe aching limbs. Outside, there is an enclosed lawn to the front as well as a raised patio with a fabulous hot tub where you can sit and look up at the stars. The owner thoughtfully provides robes for you. Perfect.

If you can tear yourself away, the area has much to offer the visitor. There are great walks accessible nearby, through Glen Prosen and Clova or magnificent walking, bird-watching, mountain biking, and further afield, downhill skiing at Glen Shee (25 miles). Kirriemuir is just a short drive away and is perhaps most famous for being the birthplace of JM Barrie, the creator of Peter Pan. Kirriemuir is at the foot of the Angus Glens and on the perimeter of the Cairngorm National Park, and there are plenty of interesting shops and eateries in the town.
