A stylish period cottage with wood burner, ideal for a romantic getaway. Nestled in a peaceful position close to the seashore and within walking distance of the beautiful sandy Lunan Bay.

Ideal for a romantic getaway, this charming cottage is situated beside the grounds of Dunninald Castle, providing scenic woodland walks and afternoon strolls around the pretty walled gardens. This stylish period cottage boasts a cosy wood burner to keep warm on colder nights, as well as high vaulted ceilings that give a fresh and spacious feel.

With a peaceful location by the coast, enjoy a quieter pace of life and some quality time spent with your loved one. Take an afternoon to walk along the soft sands of Lunan Bay; why not bring along a picnic which you can eat with the sound of waves lapping at the shore?

This single-storey, stone-built cottage has been beautifully appointed to provide stylish yet homely accommodation, with bright and open spaces and all of the comforts of modern life. A comforting mix of contemporary decor with antique furnishings and comfortable textiles ensure a relaxing stay in the Scottish countryside.

After a day of walking in the fresh air, sit back in front of the wood burner and put on your favourite film on the Smart TV, keeping your toes toasty with the underfloor heating. With a traditional country-living feel, the lounge is the perfect place to relax after a day out exploring the local area. Cook up a storm in the bespoke kitchen which is fully equipped for preparing light lunches and romantic dinners for two, with a relaxed dining area in which to enjoy your home-cooked meals. A handy utility room gives you plenty of space to take care of any washing you may need to do. The lovingly decorated double bedroom allows you to unwind after a busy day, with a TV entertainment and a comfy bed that will ensure a peaceful night of rest. Keep refreshed with the stylish bathroom which has a shower, or a bath for the perfect, relaxing evening.

Step out into the fully enclosed rear garden, and enjoy dining alfresco at the seating area on a sunny afternoon, or watch the sunset with a glass of wine. Those with canine companions will have plenty of garden space for their pups to explore.

Other great coastal towns nearby include Carnoustie and Arbroath, with walking opportunities in Crombie and Monikie Country Parks. To make the most of the stunning seaside location, embark on a walk along the Angus Coastal Trail.
