This wonderful, contemporary ‘smart house’ is nestled in an idyllic location with high-tech, state-of-the-art gadgets.

Step inside into the vestibule and through to the spacious, light and bright, open-plan living area. Relax in the comfortable lounge after a day out exploring this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and enjoy a great movie on the Smart TV or just sit back and admire the wonderful views through the picture window with double French doors leading directly out onto the decked area. Next is the spacious dining area, the perfect space to enjoy family gatherings, which also has access to the outside area through French doors.

This is an exceptional property in a rural but accessible location. The facilities were outstanding and despite being in an older age group, we made full use of the gym, hot tub and cinema room. Local towns, attractions and restaurants were easily reached and staff everywhere were friendly and helpful. We had a very good holiday.

Excellent property with plenty of space throughout and extremely clean on arrival, we had a few problems but were rectified instantly with no hesitation from John, would definitely book again. Location is a bit remote but we knew that when we booked but we were within easy driving distance from local towns and attractions

A lovely spacious house. The bedrooms are extremely well equipped with lots of drawers and hanging space, with plenty of hangers. Positioned well to discover this corner of Scotland. We enjoyed visiting Glamis and Crathes castles, House of Dun, Montrose, Arbroath and especially the Discovery and V&A in Dundee. Bird life was good at the Montrose BasRead morein and the Marsh harrier at RSPB site at Loch of Kinnordy was a definite highlight of our trip. Hide
