Sleeping up to six guests, it nestles at the foot of Glen Esk and is a haven for keen walkers. Stretch your legs with any number of walks along lower levels or hike up picturesque Munros. While you are here, also make your way to the coast to spend tranquil afternoons on sandy beaches.

Enter this handsome holiday home to find yourself embraced by a stylish interior. Enjoy the exquisite decor, with its wooden floors and colourful furnishings. Luxuriate in the easy contrast between character features, such as the wood burner, and contemporary finishes, including a stainless steel and black kitchen.

Discover a sense of flow between the bright living spaces of your single-storey Scottish retreat. The splendid lounge/diner, with its comfortable furnishings will be the perfect place to spread and enjoy your evenings together. Watch TV, play games, read or simply sit and just gaze out at the view. On warm days throw open the French doors and in cooler times, delight in cooking a warming casserole in your exceptional kitchen. The master bedroom has a chic en-suite shower room, while a second bedroom has access to the family bathroom. For parties of six, two guests can sleep on a comfortable sofa bed in the lounge.

Relax outside, soak up the serenity and take in the scenery. Light the BBQ on summer evenings and sit back and breathe in the cool night air as you talk about what you will do tomorrow. The road up to the cottage is a farm track and is suitable for normal cars.

Lace up your hiking boots and tackle nearby munros including Driesh, Mayar and Mount Keen. Glen Esk itself is one of a series of magnificent steep-sided glens that form the fabulous Angus Glens. Discover its beauty on foot and also make your way to Glen Isla, Prosen, Lethnot and Clova while you are here.

Head up to the upper valley with your binoculars to go wildlife watching and to experience some beautiful waterfalls. The Falls of Unich and the Falls of Damff, for example, are some 13 miles from your cottage by Loch Lee. Pass the ruins of Invermark Castle on the way. Visit the pretty village of Edzell, some 5 miles away: enter through the famous Dalhousie Arch to find interesting shops, restaurants and cafes. Visit the red sandstone ruins of Edzell Castle and admire its ornate walled garden. Drive approximately 15 miles from your base to reach the Angus coast if you fancy a beach day. Stop in St Cyrus to go wildlife watching in its nature reserve and to spend time on its scenic 3-mile-long sandy beach.

We really enjoyed our stay in this cosy, clean and well equipped cottage. Its location is very tranquil and has many walking options straight from the door. It takes a bit of time to get to and from the main road, but for a holiday this isn't too much of an issue. Edzell is a great village with quite a few good shops and cafe etc

The cottage is stunning, master bedroom has ensuite. Plenty of space and a log fire. You literally just need to turn up with your clothes and food. We went up the hill a bit at the back and flew out kites. The views are stunning and I was really relaxed. Thankyou for making everything amazing.

Just fabulous. Well maintained, so comfortable and welcoming. Little things like a pizza cutter, shaver charger points-lovely welcome pack. The Myles family were all so lovely & friendly. Great communication from Caroline- she contacted us about 3 weeks prior to our holiday. Plenty of walks from the doorstep. Big boot tray in the hall No light pollRead moreution- never seen so many stars. The track up to the cottage- I found a gentle 11mph was sufficient to smooth out the bumps. Hide
