This stunning detached property sits in an elevated position in the grounds of the owners’ land and working farm in the Angus countryside. Commanding magnificent views towards Montrose Basin, a land locked estuary at the mouth of the River South Esk, renowned for its bird and wildlife sanctuary. The property has been a recent barn conversion and tasteful décor and attention to detail is evident throughout. An ideal house for family get-togethers, visitors have use of a private hot tub in the garden as well as access to the peaceful walks around the farmland surrounding the property.
Located just 4 miles from the centre of Montrose and a couple of miles from the nearest shop and pub, there is plenty to discover in the area. Glorious sandy beaches in Montrose, Lunan Bay or St Cyrus are wonderful for bracing walks or playing in the sand. Montrose Basin is a renowned Nature Reserve and Wildlife Centre and in the winter, thousands of pink footed geese make a spectacular sight taking off in the early morning to feed in the surrounding countryside. Away from the coast are the Angus Glens which form the foothills of the Grampian Mountains with myriad walks and trails to be discovered. Golf, tennis and a leisure pool are in the town itself, or further afield the cities of Dundee and Aberdeen are almost equidistant and have plenty of shops, eateries and theatres for an alternative day out. Beach 3 miles. Shop and restaurant 2 miles, pub 2½ miles.

This is a lovely cottage and was well equipped for home catering and plenty of towels and lovely bed linen....mind the bottom of your car as you approach as the last part leading to the cottage is BAD! The hot tub was lovely but no light so very difficult to get in and out of in the dark. The ovens and their trays need a very very good clean, check the floors under the sofas too....i promise I'm not fussy but when your sitting in the arm chairs the dust is very obvious. That all being said we had a lovely family get together and would highly recommend Saltys.....the food was fab but wow what a place!!!!!
