Little Gannochy

A beautiful and spacious cottage on the banks of the River Esk, with space for six over three bedrooms, this property has the option of booking the neighbouring property for an extra two sleeping spaces. The cottage has spacious rooms inside, making it easy to relax with lots of room for adults and kids to find their own space. The 2-acre walled garden is a beautiful place to explore and enjoy, and it even has its own tennis court. The cottage is perfectly placed for exploring some of the best of the Scottish countryside, with the rugged Angus coast within reach and hill climbing on the Munros and the Cairngorms. It is also just a mile from the village of Edzell, where you’ll find pubs and shops.

Inside, you enter through the sun porch and into the entrance hall. Doors lead from there to the elegant living room, which has an open fire and comfortable sofas. Double doors lead to the dining room, creating a flexible space, and then into the kitchen, which has ample food prep space, a breakfast bar and a range cooker. There is a separate TV snug, sunroom, laundry room and office. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, all with zip-and-link beds that can be set up as either a double or twin.

The local village, Edzell, is known as one of the prettiest in Angus. Its main street is made up of attractive 19th-century buildings, many of which are now antique shops and tearooms. Around a mile from the village centre is the ruined Edzell Castle. While the building itself is ruined, the 17th-century garden is a favourite with visitors and has unique decorative walls.

This property is a great choice for walkers and those looking to get out and enjoy the Scottish countryside. The edge of the Cairngorms National Park is just 15 miles away. There, you can enjoy challenging mountain hikes, gentle Lochside walks and some of the best views in the UK.

The Angus coast is within easy reach. The town of Montrose, 15 miles away, has a large mud lagoon and nature reserve and an interesting historic centre. Lunan Bay, 17 miles away, has a large sandy beach that is known as the best in Angus. To explore the coast, take the Angus Coast Path past quiet beaches and along wild clifftops.
