About this property
Set among the wide-open landscapes of the Angus Glens, Alderwick House is a characterful Scottish farmhouse where days can be spent exploring the countryside before returning to the warmth and comfort of your own rural retreat. Surrounded by an 800-acre working farm estate, the house sleeps up to six guests across three bedrooms, making it a great choice for families or friends looking to experience this lesser-visited corner of Scotland.
Inside, traditional farmhouse character is paired with everything needed for an easy-going stay. Gather around the dining table for long suppers, settle in together after a day outdoors, or simply enjoy the slower pace that comes with having so much countryside around you.
Families will find plenty to keep younger guests entertained, from spotting local wildlife and exploring the surrounding countryside to days out at castles and along the Angus coast.
There is plenty of space to explore beyond the house, while the surrounding Angus Glens invite longer adventures on foot or by bike. Wildlife, dramatic landscapes and changing Scottish skies are all part of the experience, with historic sites, local towns and further corners of Angus waiting to be discovered.
Alderwick House is particularly well suited to guests who value space, fresh air and the freedom of a countryside stay, with its setting on a working Scottish farm adding to its sense of place.
Alderwick House sits amid the open countryside of the Angus Glens, an area of eastern Scotland shaped by rolling farmland, wooded valleys and the dramatic foothills of the Cairngorms. It’s a rewarding base for walkers and cyclists, with routes ranging from gentle countryside rambles to more challenging days in the hills.
For a change of pace, explore the historic towns and villages of Angus, stopping at local cafés, independent shops and traditional pubs along the way. The region is also rich in Scottish history, with castles and historic houses providing plenty of ideas for days out. Glamis Castle, the childhood home of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, is one of the area’s best-known landmarks.
Head towards the coast and you’ll find sandy beaches, fishing towns and clifftop scenery, while the Cairngorms National Park opens up even more opportunities for hiking and outdoor adventures. A car is strongly recommended for making the most of this wonderfully rural setting.
