Property code: OBOTP

Wake up to the sights and sounds of nature whilst staying at this luxurious converted barn, nestled within acres of picturesque farmland in Angus Glen. Perfectly located at the foot of Glenisla, you have easy access to miles of unspoilt countryside, grand castles and majestic waterfalls along with nearby towns and villages with excellent amenities. Perfect for small families and up to two four-legged friends, guests here are invited to explore the on-site ‘Courtyard’ where you’ll find shopping, crafts and a coffee shop offering delicious lunches, snacks and drinks.

The property itself is a recently converted 17th-century barn that has been finished to a very high standard. Set across a single level there are no tricky stairs to contend with, making this a good option for anyone with limited mobility. The bright, light open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room features huge glass doors at one end, that bring the outdoors in and offer views towards the countryside beyond. The modern kitchen units have been painted in muted hues that perfectly complement the rustic homely feel in this room. Two good-sized comfortable bedrooms provide a tranquil place to rest weary heads after a busy day of adventuring.

The Angus Glens are a series of tranquil valleys enjoying some of the most majestic landscapes in Scotland. The town of Kirriemuir is known as the gateway to the glens and is perhaps best known as the birthplace of Sir JM Barrie. In addition, there is a good selection of shops, cafes and coffee shops in this busy little town. The drama of Reekie Linn waterfall can be found just 7 miles from the property and rewards intrepid explorers (both two- and four-legged) with an incredible sight.

If I could rate this higher than 10/10 I would. Setting is idyllic, accommodation very high standard with everything you need. Lots of little extras too like milk in fridge, biscuits, sweet treat in basket and local lime curd.

We loved our stay! Peaceful, tranquil and beautiful stay. Pics dont do justice to the high standard the property is done up to - just enjoying the windows out to the cows and hills are lovely. Very accommodating hosts who promptly brought over more towels when we asked. Cant wait to visit again.

We have just spent a long weekend here and cannot recommend it enough . The cottage was beyond our expectations in terms of cleanliness and comfort. The owner was very helpful regarding check in and we loved the cafe being on site. The coffee , cakes and scones were amazing . We loved the outdoor cabins where we could sit with our dogs when it wasnRead moret too warm outside . Definitely one of ( if not ) the best self catering cottages we have ever stayed in.
