Surrounded by the beautiful Angus countryside and with stunning views, Midtown Farmhouse is a fantastic base for touring this wonderful part of Scotland. The property is a traditionally built cottage, which has been newly refurbished to the highest standard providing spacious and comfortable holiday accommodation. Downstairs a cosy sitting room with lovely open fire is ideal for relaxing in, whilst a further sitting room with dining area benefits from a wood burning stove, and leads through to a well equipped kitchen. Upstairs two comfortable bedrooms make this charming cottage ideal for families and groups of friends alike.
Situated at the foot of the romantic Angus Glens walkers will love the area, with walks ranging from gentle low level strolls to the more challenging Munros, ten in total including Dreish, Mayar and Mount Keen or head to the sea where beautiful sandy beaches and occasional outcrops of cliffs make the Angus coastline some of the most spectacular scenery along Scotland's eastern edge with the North Sea. For nature lovers there is the RSPB Nature reserve at Loch of Kinnordy, 10 miles away, where migrant species provide interest all year round from ospreys in the summer to Whooper swans in the winter, or visit the Montrose Basin where the Nature Reserve provides a perfect habitat for many species of birds.
For golfers there are many top class courses in the area including the Championship course at Carnoustie, home of the Open 2007, and St Andrews is within an hour’s drive. With Glamis Castle, childhood home of the Queen Mother, and Scone Palace a short journey away there is something for everyone in Angus.
