Guests to this charming fisherman’s cottage will delight in perching on the window seat in the cosy lounge to watch the comings and goings of Johnshaven Harbour just outside. The property is perfect for a small family looking for a holiday where they can explore the magnificent Angus coastline or enjoy one of the many walks in the area with their four-legged friend. This cottage is a peaceful haven of relaxation and a short break here will leave you feeling rested and rejuvenated.

Packed with period features, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area features quirky circular windows, exposed wooden ceiling beams and varnished wooden floors. An open fire adds a cosy glow to the room and means you’ll be kept toasty warm on even the coldest of nights. A deep butler sink in the kitchen is perfectly in keeping with the quaint country cottage style of the property. The enchanting sleeping quarters are home to wrought iron bed frames, patchwork quilts and rustic furnishings which are reminiscent of bedrooms in fairy tales. The seating area at the front of the property is the perfect spot to sit with an early morning coffee, watching the world go by with Fido at your feet.

Johnhaven General Stores is a well-stocked shop that you’ll find just over a 200-metre walk from the cottage, meaning you won’t have to carry your provisions too far home! Dunnottar Castle is a ruined medieval fortress built atop a rocky headland, just 12 miles away. This is a fantastic dog-friendly day out that the entire family will enjoy. St Cyrus National Nature Reserve can be found within 6 miles and a visit here might include sightings of grey seals or peregrine falcons, while porpoise and humpback whales have all also been sighted just offshore.

Lobster Creel is a great cottage for a small family including a dog. Its located on the harbour side in Johnshaven which means you can walk straight from the cottage or venture further in a car to nearby beaches at St Cyrus or Lunan.
