Druid’s Knowe sits in a superb position on the outskirts of the little hamlet of Tarfside, in the heart of Glen Esk.
Surrounded by gorgeous scenery this wonderful house has been totally and sympathetically refurbished and modernised right down to the last detail, but still retaining its original character. This is a perfect property if you love the great outdoors, appreciate the splendour of the Scottish countryside and are looking for rest and relaxation in an unspoilt and peaceful location.

Just along from the house is Glenesk Retreat and Folk Museum, gift shop and an art gallery. The museum is dedicated to the heritage, history and culture of Glenesk and focuses on the life of the rural community. At the bottom of the glen you can travel the length of the Victorian Heritage Trail, passing through Fettercairn with its Gothic Arch and local Distillery (where tours can be taken) up through Cairn o’ Mount and into Royal Deeside, ending at Balmoral Castle.
There is ample fishing and golf in the area as well as some good eating places or why not visit the beautiful beaches on the east coast at Montrose, Lunan Bay and St Cyrus.

WOW! What a wonderful cottage in a beautiful peaceful location.This is definitely a 5* cottage, spotlessly clean, well equipped and comfortable bed.We loved the garden, views and nearby walks and so did our 2 dogs.The communication from Mandy and Duncan was excellent.This was our first time visiting the area and can recommend visiting Stonehaven, Lunan and St Cyrus bays. Montrose was great for the food shop.We have rebooked for next year and cannot wait to view the Spring landscape and wildlife.Thankyou for a perfect holiday 🙂

Druids Knowe was endoubtedly the best cottage we've stated in. Everything you could possibly need was provided. The area is so quiet and peaceful and there's plenty to do in the surrounding area too. We had a very informative chat with the neighbour and he gave us some pointers where to walk too. The walk up Mt Keen is wonderful eventhough it was very windy and cold on top. We really enjoyed our stay in Druids Knowe and would heartily recommend it.
