We really loved the cottage and it's location so close to the sea and would recommend it to others without hesitation. The owners were very thoughtful, leaving us a Christmas gift of lemon curd and we were allowed to walk in the grounds of the 'big house, which was very much appreciated.

Yew Cottage is very well designed and equipped. It seems larger than the photos, as it has a long hallway and high ceilings. The owners have thought of everything for a short break with a dog. Nice and cosy, with a lovely log fire. Location is perfect - access to woodland walk at Dunninald Castle, superb local beaches.

This is a lovely cottage in an ideal spot. It's very well equipped and cosy yet well laid out and spacious. It was perfect for the dog with the enclosed garden and great walks directly from the cottage. The location is brilliant to get out and about with amazing beaches, views and local amenities not too far away. Can't fault anything and hope we wRead moreill be back again to stay sometime soon.

Ideal cottage for dog owners! Enclosed garden at rear, lovely walks from the door - either in the castle woodland or down to the sea. Many interesting places to visit within easy distance make this an ideal base for touring the Angus coast & Glens.

The owners have really paid attention to every detail, to make this cottage very comfortable and well appointed. The location is very peaceful. Its great to wander in the neighbouring castle grounds, and the coast, especially Lunan Beach and Boddin Point, is spectacular.

Yew Cottage is a great house in a fantastic location. Having access to the castle grounds and especially the walled garden is a real bonus. It's an easy walk to the sea and Montrose is within easy reach by car. The cottage is well equipped, very clean and beautifully peaceful.

Beautifully converted cottage in a peaceful area. Brilliant for dog walking as there is access to the castle estate and garden and close to Lunan Bay for beach walks. Everything needed for an enjoyable holiday was found at Yew Cottage.
