Wonderful stay for both myself and my dog. Very dog friendly. Small cabin, but equipped with everything we needed for the week. Great to sit outside with a view across the countryside. Well placed to visit Montrose, Forfar, Brechin.

Lovely few days in Barn Owl, definitely luxury ‘glamping’ so need to be very tidy!! Comfortable, very warm and well equipped! Every time I thought something wasn’t provided, I found it!! Be prepared with air fryer recipes!! Sadly too windy to sit outside!

Couple, mid 30's, fri-tue stay with a large well behaved labrador. Cabin is well equipped, modern and clean. Relaxing, quiet countryside location & close enough to Forfar, Arbroath & Dundee. Owners are very thoughtful, leaving essentials for the dog & great local knowledge & suggestions. I was sad it was out of season for the pool (which i didn't know til after booking) but this just means we'll be back.
