Set on the Dunninald Castle Estate on the spectacular Angus Coast, this delightful cottage will have romantic couples and their faithful friend ready for Scottish adventures. Explore Dunninald Castle’s walled and wild gardens, enjoy a relaxed game of tennis and delve into Dunninald’s thousand-year history.

Discover the ruined Red Castle (2.5 miles), a dramatic medieval reminder of darker days and search for banded agates all around the Angus Coast.

 

Inside the single-storey cottage you’ll find a quaint and cosy blend of rural charm, sleek contemporary style and welcoming modern comfort. After wild days of Scottish wandering, unwind in the lounge around the stone hearth’s glowing wood burner with a local whisky and cuddles with your favourite canine. Whip up feasts of fresh local fare in the bright and streamlined kitchen/diner and enjoy them al fresco in the enclosed rear garden. After a steaming soak in the tranquil bathroom, finish your day with a welcome nightcap, before drifting off to your double bedroom to dream of tomorrow’s adventures.

We really loved the cottage and it's location so close to the sea and would recommend it to others without hesitation. The owners were very thoughtful, leaving us a Christmas gift of lemon curd and we were allowed to walk in the grounds of the 'big house, which was very much appreciated.

Yew Cottage is very well designed and equipped. It seems larger than the photos, as it has a long hallway and high ceilings. The owners have thought of everything for a short break with a dog. Nice and cosy, with a lovely log fire. Location is perfect - access to woodland walk at Dunninald Castle, superb local beaches.

Ideal cottage for dog owners! Enclosed garden at rear, lovely walks from the door - either in the castle woodland or down to the sea. Many interesting places to visit within easy distance make this an ideal base for touring the Angus coast & Glens.

The owners have really paid attention to every detail, to make this cottage very comfortable and well appointed. The location is very peaceful. Its great to wander in the neighbouring castle grounds, and the coast, especially Lunan Beach and Boddin Point, is spectacular.

Yew Cottage is a great house in a fantastic location. Having access to the castle grounds and especially the walled garden is a real bonus. It's an easy walk to the sea and Montrose is within easy reach by car. The cottage is well equipped, very clean and beautifully peaceful.

We had a very pleasant break in Yew Cottage. It is comfortable and spacious for two people and a dog. The underfloor heating was perfect, we didn't need to use the log burner. Lovely walks locally, both in the castle grounds and in the quiet lanes.
