Enjoying a tranquil location on the site of a former boathouse, this light and stylish bespoke cabin makes a characterful hideaway for couples and solo travellers seeking a relaxing retreat on the outskirts of Carnoustie. Offering cosy accommodation for up to two guests, the property overlooks the town's rugged beach, and provides an ideal base for golfers, walkers, history buffs and nature spotters exploring the majestic coast, ancient sites and magnificent countryside of Angus. With large windows providing peaceful views out across the North Sea, this snug bolthole has been elegantly furnished and decorated in fresh, tasteful tones, and is ideally situated within easy reach of the thriving coastal town of Arbroath and the vibrant city of Dundee.

A side entrance leads into the timber-clad cabin and the charming ground-floor open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The fully equipped and thoughtfully organised kitchen area is to the rear, leading across to the bright lounge, with a snug sofa and Smart TV. A sociable dining table sits beside the big picture window, allowing ample natural light to stream in, while the glass patio door opens directly out onto the beach.

A stylish wooden staircase leads up from the main living area to the first-floor landing, which leads past a tasteful shower room and directly into the light and breezy bedroom. This relaxing space has a sumptuous king-size bed, a low, sloping ceiling and a large picture window accompanied by a Juliet balcony with stunning views.

Private parking is available for one car. Although the cabin has no outside space of its own, there's direct access down onto the beautiful sandy beach, offering breathtaking walks right from the doorstep.

What a fabulous place to stay for the weekend! The view is simply the best, you just step out the door and you are on the beach! The cottage is equipped with everything you need and the town is a 10 min walk for dinner, drinks, coffee and supplies. We would definitely come back :)
