Tucked away on the Airlie Estate amongst the Angus glens, this attractive stone cottage is the ideal place for couples or families to get away from it all and immerse themselves in the surrounding natural beauty. Against the backdrop of the mountains in the distance, you can take a stroll around the grounds, whilst keeping an eye out for the local wildlife such as deer, squirrels and polecats as well as beavers in nearby River Isla. The area is well-suited to keen walkers, cyclists and outdoor pursuits enthusiasts with a range of sports on offer.

As you approach up the sweeping driveway and past the well-manicured gardens, you will feel like Lord or Lady of the Manor. This charming cottage is well-presented throughout with a clear sense of heritage; the original features and traditional furniture are enhanced by the neutral palette to create a comfortable home that guests will find easy to relax in.

From the large hallway, head into the cosy lounge where everyone will want to be of an evening, snuggled in front of the roaring open fire; if it gets too warm, you can always open the stable door to let the fresh air in. Two steps lead down to the spacious kitchen/diner. Industrial shelving combines with the traditional Belfast sink to create the feel of a contemporary farmhouse kitchen with a modern range oven at its centre.

On the first floor, the large king-size room has a minimalist design, creating a bright open space to relax in. There is also a twin room on this floor and a traditional bathroom complete with free-standing roll-top bath.

Outside, there is plenty of space to stretch your legs as well as garden furniture for al fresco dining.

Fantastic location. Very clean and homely. Towels and bed linen of very good quality. Just about everything you need and made it easy for us to cook as there are food allergies in our party so we cooked quite a bit. The log fire was lovely on an evening. We had a great stay and would definitely book it again when we are back in the area

We absolutely loved our stay and the cottage exceeded all our expectations. The location was wonderfully peaceful and quiet, and we had the best sleep in the incredibly comfortable beds. The cottage was cosy, beautifully equipped and had everything we could possibly need, with so many thoughtful little details throughout. Not having a TV was actualRead morely a welcome change, and we really enjoyed switching off, relaxing and browsing through the lovely selection of books. Communication with the caretaker Dot was excellent from start to finish. We only wish we could have stayed longer! We would happily return and highly recommend this beautiful cottage. Hide

Lovely little cottage with everything you need. Great to have a log fire on a cool evening although the central heating is good. The surrounding countryside is great for walking and cycling. We had a relaxing and very enjoyable week. Thank you.

Not only is the cottage absolutely beautiful- interior design to die for - but the private den provided the best place we walked in Scotland.

Square Cottage was absolutely beautiful and exactly as described rustic, charming, and full of character. The working log fire made the evenings extra special, and the quaint old-fashioned kitchen had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The setting in the Angus countryside was exceptional peaceful, scenic, and truly relaxing. Our host, DRead moreot, was wonderful: warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local area. We would highly recommend it. Hide

Lovely house. We liked that it felt 'old-fashioned' for instance a non-fitted kitchen. It helped us to imagine the castle retainers who had lived there for generations. Magnificent location. We were fortunate that we were there whilst the castle was unoccupied so we could enjoy the near estate almost as if it was all ours. Brilliant time to come asRead more the leaves were turning. Den of Airlie is absolutely beautiful. Hide
