Wake up in the morning to home-baked goodies from the nearby ‘Courtyard’ and drag out hours wrapped up in your luxury home from home. Just 7 miles from Kirkton of Glenisla in Angus, this lovingly converted 17th-century cottage is one of two farm buildings offering a sumptuous escape surrounded by Scottish countryside.

 

Sleeping up to four people and welcoming two waggy-tailed pals, this cottage has been finished with the utmost eye for detail. With a contemporary flair that wouldn’t look out of place in the glossies, it also manages to retain an authentic edge and welcoming atmosphere.

 

Laid out across one floor, this single-storey barn is the ideal retreat for small families, groups of friends and couples looking for a blissful escape from daily life. Home to two bedrooms, you can take your pick of one king-size bed and one super king-size zip-and-link bed that can be made into a twin. For ease, there is a family bathroom with a shower over bath, perfect for soothing muscles after days on your feet.

 

Comprising the living areas, the beautiful open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is a wonderful spot to enjoy lazy mornings, rainy afternoons and early evenings. Equipped with everything you could need, you can cook up lip-smacking family feasts to enjoy around the window-side dining table. Later, snuggle up on the sofa in the lounge and switch on the TV for a movie as night throws its cloak over the surroundings.

 

Step outside the lounge’s French doors and onto the patio. As dreamy on crisp winter mornings as hazy summer eves, you can make use of the patio furniture and BBQ and enjoying the stunning views towards Glenisla whilst relaxing in the hot tub.

The accommodation was perfect for us four adults, even though we couldn't use everything. We often shopped at the on-site shop. The distance to grocery stores was fine, as we went on trips to the surrounding area almost every day anyway. Both Edinburgh and Loch Ness were easily accessible from here. We can recommend the accommodation without exceptRead moreion and would come back anytime. Hide

A fantastic place to stay. The onsite cafe and nature trail were visited daily. The staff and owners were extremely friendly. The property was lovely and the kitchen was well equipped for self catering. 5 mins down the road beautiful waterfalls and a swimming spot. Hope to stay again in the future.

We had this cottage and the one beside it booked for a combined family of 11. Both cottages had everything we needed for our stay. Plenty of space in the kitchen/dining/living areas. Good sized bedrooms and storage, comfortable beds. Bathrooms were clean. Would highly recommend.

We had the most amazing week at Duckings rest - everything was perfect and the family that run Peels Farm are so friendly and approachable. If nothing else make sure you get some of the home made bread and scones - 100% next level
