2 Bedroom Cottage in Kirriemuir

Isolated on the high moor of Balnaboth Estate, this is an ideal property to take that well earned break from it all.. "Acres of peaceful and secluded countryside surround these magnificent cottages..."
At the heart of Glenprosen, one of the renowned ‘Glens of Angus’, lies the Balnaboth Estate on the edge of the Cairngorms National Park; 6,000 peaceful and secluded acres surrounding 16th-century Balnaboth House. In its midst, these six characterful holiday cottages each offer a unique and magical holiday retreat; indeed the creator of Peter Pan himself (Sir James Barrie) was born in nearby Kirriemuir and holidayed here.
These cottages were once occupied by shepherds, gardeners or other staff of the Ogilvy family when this was a traditional Victorian sporting estate. Red squirrels play in the trees, otters frequent the burns, and deer graze all around. Because of the varied scenery, that varies from beech woods to forest, pasture to heather moor, mountain streams to river pools, the area enjoys a spectacular range of wildlife, including species largely extinct elsewhere in Britain, such as black game and ptarmigan.
Magnificent walking, bird-watching, mountain biking and (in season) cross-country skiing abound on the estate and, further afield, downhill skiing at Glen Shee (25 miles). Fishing is available on a 5-mile stretch of the River Prosen, and there are twenty golf courses within an hours’ drive.
Enjoy the seclusion of this beautiful glen - peaceful, relaxing, scenic - yet just a few minutes’ drive from bustling market towns and busy fishing harbours which hug the Angus coastline, as well as from the city of Dundee which offers many attractions for all the family. The exciting Dundee Contemporary Arts is a stunningly-designed centre which incorporates galleries, a print studio and two art-cinema screens, while the Mills Observatory is Britain’s only full-time public observatory with a resident astronomer.

Summary: This is a simple, secluded former shepherd's cottage in the hills above Glen Prosen accessed via 1 mile or so of basic farm track from the main road. Surrounded by open moorland with no neighbours and lots of wildlife. Heating is by open fire or electric heaters - no central heating so outside of the summer months its not the warmest of houses. Great for walking and the outdoors with direct access to the tracks over the moors and hills.

Summary: Views and wildlife fantastic. The cottage is in need of some repair work. Not the greatest cleanliness as we had to clean the cutlery, pots & pans before use. However we had a lovely time there.

Summary: The cottage was in an excellent, quiet location - just what we wanted, with plenty of wildlife to see. Our equipment, however, left much to be desired. one of three electric fires was not working, neither was the electric iron. there was no washer or drier installed, which created difficulties when you are there for 2 weeks, particularly as only 4 pegs were supplied! there also seemed to be various draughts coming into the cottage. The estate staff we came across were very friendly.The cost of the electricity, I felt was excessive, and as this was paid for separately, gives a false impression of the cost of hiring the cottage, when booked, as you have no idea that the electricity is so costly. I suggest that it would be more up front if the power cost was not additional, and the hire charges reflected this. Despite these problems we were very happy to have our holiday there.
