Explore the magnificent moorland of the Angus Glens with your four-legged friend. Head to the dramatic east coast for more long walks and days out at the beach. Set on the Gannochy Estate, close to the banks of the North Esk River, this delightful Scottish retreat sleeps up to two guests and one canine companion. Recently renovated, and with character features, it is in a fabulous location for anyone wishing to lose themselves in picturesque landscapes, indulge in some hill climbing or enjoy getting close to wildlife.

Step into this appealing, single-storey holiday home to discover an exceptional, romantic retreat, which has been beautifully finished. Find bright rooms, with contemporary splashes of colour, and a gorgeous slate floor, which makes easy work of towelling your damp dog after romps in the rain. Discover the light-filled kitchen/diner/lounge, where you can settle down in front of the TV, while Rex reclines on the rug. Prepare meals for all three of you in here too and dine in comfort together. Enjoy an evening stroll by the river before saying goodnight to your furry pal and heading off to your exquisite bedroom, which has an en-suite shower room. Carry breakfast out to your outside seating area and enjoy it as you make plans for another great day of dog walking in your surroundings.

Grab the lead and head off to explore Edzell Castle and Gardens, approximately 1 mile from your holiday cottage. Wander the ruins, which date back to the 16th century, and roam the gardens, which were added a little later. Explore the Munros of the Angus Glens or drive approximately 25 miles to the edge of the Cairngorms National Park.

If you are looking for a peaceful retreat - this is it. Large secure area for your dog and lots of long wooded walks very close by. The cottage is warm and comfortable. We also found several cafes not too far away which were dog friendly.

My second visit and probably not my last. It's a lovely property with everything I needed. Having a dog I particularly appreciate the enclosed garden and the lovely walks from the house. It is so peaceful and just a short drive from so many interesting places and beautiful beaches. Thank you

Beautiful location. Cottage was gorgeous, just the right size for 2 people and their pets. The woods walk is lovely and you can get down to the river esk if you are fit and healthy, it is a steep climb down and up very uneven steps. Chris is very helpful and always on the end of the phone if you have any questions. There was a fresh pint of milk inRead more the fridge when we arrived which was very thoughtful, thank you Chris. Edzell is a lovely village and everyone is very friendly. Hide
