Guests say

Gardener's Cottage in Montrose is consistently praised for its charm, comfort, and peaceful setting. Guests appreciate the beautiful artwork, cosy furnishings, and extensive gardens. The property's location offers both seclusion and proximity to local amenities, with easy access to walking paths and a beach. The well-equipped cottage and thoughtful touches, such as a welcome pack, contribute to a memorable stay.

Reviewers repeatedly mention the cleanliness of the cottage, with one guest noting it remained as clean on their second visit as it was on their first, indicating meticulous upkeep.

The location is highly regarded for its tranquillity and proximity to Montrose, walking trails, and a beach. The only reason for not scoring a perfect 100 is the lack of explicit mentions of location convenience from all reviewers.

Guests find the cottage cosy and comfortable, with quality furnishings and a homely feel that makes them feel at ease during their stay.

The cottage is celebrated for its well-equipped kitchen, tennis courts, and putting green. The extensive gardens and maintenance of the property are also commended. A slightly less than perfect score is given due to limited explicit mentions of certain facilities.

The presence of a welcome pack is mentioned, reflecting the hosts' thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, this score reflects the positive sentiment while acknowledging the variability of this offering.

About this property

Nature enthusiasts will love exploring Montrose Basin Nature Reserve, which is adjacent to this lovely upside-down property.. Situated in the grounds of Old Montrose House, the owners’ home, next to the Montrose Basin Nature Reserve, are these five holiday properties offering high quality accommodation close to each other, yet totally separate.

The Stables (ref UK11108) is a luxurious, detached conversion on two levels with a high spec finish and chic furnishings. Beautifully renovated and lovingly restored, it combines traditional cottage ambience with contemporary style, and features a walk-around gallery in the centre of the building above the living room.

The Old Gasworks Building (ref UKC2272) is a delightful, detached cottage, which has been built on a historic site, and provides a very stylish and comfortable holiday home.

Gardener’s Cottage (ref UKC3040) is a gorgeous, upside-down, detached cottage which was formerly the head gardener’s house in times past. Furnished with style and flair, this quirky cottage is wonderfully situated in a secluded spot in the grounds, with a private sunny garden and patio off the main bedroom where you can soak up the sun in peace.

Grieve’s Cottage (ref UK11107) is a little gem – a tastefully furnished and spacious, one bedroomed cottage with an open plan living space on the ground floor and a spacious bedroom with sumptuous bed and en-suite shower room on the first floor.

The Garden Room (ref UK34071) is an absolutely stunning conversion of the original potting shed and offers a unique holiday experience. One half of the property is taken up with an enormous conservatory, stylishly designed and furnished to complement the garden surroundings, while the other half houses a high-quality kitchen, shower room and double bedroom.

All guests have access to the owners’ large enclosed walled garden, hard tennis court and small putting green. The idyllic peaceful surroundings are complemented by a structured walled garden and other features, including a rose garden intersected by pathways to meander through and stop to enjoy the scents of summer.

Just a short drive from the centre of Montrose, this is an ideal base from which to explore an area that is rich in culture, wildlife and heritage. Montrose sits on a peninsula between the South and North Esk rivers. The magnificent sandy beach, golf courses and links area are very popular with tourists, as well as additional leisure facilities including tennis courts, bowling greens and parks. There are plenty of good cycle routes around the cottage and throughout the area, and for golfers there are over 30 courses within an hour’s drive, including the championship courses of Carnoustie and St Andrews. Excellent beaches including Lunan Bay, Arbroath and St Cyrus are nearby and are ideal for surfing or enjoying a barbecue. Fishing can also be found within easy reach. Beach 3½ miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 3½ miles.

    The Gardeners cottage and hosts Richard and Eileen offer and deliver one of the most friendly and memorable places to stay in the region. I cannot recommend this location highly enough, and look forwards to returning again as soon as possible.

    Gardener’s Cottage is a charming holiday house set in a lovely location. It is very nicely furnished, with lots of beautiful artwork on display. The house is cosy and comfortable and well worth a visit.
