This idyllic cottage has a woodland setting and is perfect for both walkers and cyclists with routes around this estate. .  "Acres of peaceful and secluded countryside surround these magnificent cottages. . . "

At the heart of Glenprosen, one of the renowned ‘Glens of Angus’, lies the Balnaboth Estate on the edge of the Cairngorms National Park; 6,000 peaceful and secluded acres surrounding 16th-century Balnaboth House.  In its midst, these six characterful holiday cottages each offer a unique and magical holiday retreat; indeed the creator of Peter Pan himself (Sir James Barrie) was born in nearby Kirriemuir and holidayed here. 

These cottages were once occupied by shepherds, gardeners or other staff of the Ogilvy family when this was a traditional Victorian sporting estate.  Red squirrels play in the trees, otters frequent the burns, and deer graze all around.  Because of the varied scenery, that varies from beech woods to forest, pasture to heather moor, mountain streams to river pools, the area enjoys a spectacular range of wildlife, including species largely extinct elsewhere in Britain, such as black game and ptarmigan. 

Magnificent walking, bird-watching, mountain biking and (in season) cross-country skiing abound on the estate and, further afield, downhill skiing at Glen Shee (25 miles).  Fishing is available on a 5-mile stretch of the River Prosen, and there are twenty golf courses within an hours’ drive. 

Enjoy the seclusion of this beautiful glen - peaceful, relaxing, scenic - yet just a few minutes’ drive from bustling market towns and busy fishing harbours which hug the An. . .

    Natur pur. Es ist ein außergewöhnliches Erlebnis. Traumhafte Lage und ein bezauberndes Gärtner Haus mit einer gut ausgestatteten Küche und einem sehr bequemen Bett. Wir sind immer noch von allem begeistert

    It was a lovely location, unspoilt and like going back to the 80s. There were comfortable furnishings without feeling like you had to constantly watch out for immaculate paintwork or precious furnishings. comfortable bed and lovely spacious bedroom. The cottage was well equipped for most uses and very easy to cook in. The log burner was very effective with a generous amount of logs provided. Overall a real relief from the overdone primped up places we have stayed in previously. Cosy and welcoming if old fashioned.
