"Had another lovely stay here, my third time at Little Lochlair and what can I say that I haven't already said?"
A lovely, cosy and comfortable apartment and very well equipped, a real home from home, with a little balcony which was ideal for sitting on while the sun was out and the views are fantastic. The hosts, Mandy and Ian are very welcoming and friendly and their dog, Beth is just adorable. Ideally situated for touring the surrounding areas as well, and despite it's rural location it never seemed far from anywhere. Would definitely recommend and would come back again. Thank you.

"A lovely setting in the Angus countryside with excellent hosts who are friendly and obliging."
-
"A wonderful stay with lovely hosts and delicious home baked scones on arrival."
Accom is perfect with great views and amazing sunsets. Lots of great walks within short drive, 2 country parks with 10 mins. Tiger, the dog came home exhausted. I had a perfect break and hope to be back.

"We had a lovely time at Little Lochlair."
The weather was glorious and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony. It's set in beautiful surroundings with farmland all around and we had great views of the sunsets. We had some trouble with our car and both Ian and Mandy helped us in so many ways to get it fixed. They were very friendly, helpful and kind which made all the difference to our situation. We will definitely go back because we didn't manage to do all that we wanted to do.

"I absolutely loved Little Lochlair, the owners were very friendly and the accommodation exceeded my expectations."
Homely, beautifully presented, and all you need for a perfect stay. Not too far from places to see, walk and enjoy. Close to Carnoustie Beach, Arbroath clifftop walk and our favourite Lunan Bay. Montrose beach is a bit further but worth going to. Best of all was coming back to Little Lochlair and have a quiet, restful evening.

"This is a fabulous retreat."
360 degree views of beautiful countryside including across to the Cairngorms. It’s in a perfect position of Approx 20 to 30 mins drive from all major sights. Respectful hosts but available if required. To be greeted with freshly baked scones was a real treat. Thank you. We would definitely return

"Very clean."
Everything you need is there for a comfortable stay. Very welcoming hosts. This is the second time we have been. Love the peace and quiet.
-
"We have just enjoyed a fabulous holiday in this immaculate property."
It was spotlessly clean warm and comfortable with every thing you needed. The views from the balcony, with a 360 degree vista, and the sunsets are breath taking. If you look carefully early am and evening you will see deer, pheasants and hares. Dog owners should not be put off, there is somewhere for your dog to have a wee last thing at night and open fields a short walk up the road. The owners live next door and are very welcoming without being intrusive. Little things like home made scones, jam, butter fresh milk tea coffee and fresh flowers and even binoculars show how much the hosts care. Lots of places to visit close by.

"Had another fantastic stay here with my dog."
Lovely place, everything you need, beautiful area and peace and quiet. Hopefully we will be back next year.

"All as promised; including the very welcome home-made scones and jam plus some basics on arrival."
Very friendly and considerate owners. The outlook from the holiday let out over the farmland all around; plus the clear (no light pollution) heavenly displays of stars/planets were icing on the cake. Very relaxing time; just visiting the surrounding towns and a special visit to Auchenblae near Laurencekirk to visit family. Well worth the cost ..................

"Had a wonderful stay here with my dog."
A lovely compact place but very well equipped and amazing views all around. Quiet countryside all around but never far from places to visit. Mandy and Ian, the owners, were very friendly and their dog, Beth, is adorable. Enjoyed a lovely just baked scone, with jam and butter on arrival and especially liked the little touches provided for Lily, a bowl of water, a jar of biscuits and a towel aswell. A very thoughtful welcome for her aswell. Wouldn't hesitate to come back and stay again and hopefully we will be back soon.

"Lovey warm property, comfortable and dog friendly."
The property is above a garage and has a gate for dog owners' peace of mind. We had winter weather but in better weather, you have a seating area and seats to sit out and chill. Owners Ian & Mandy were a lovely friendly couple. Mandy had baked lovely scones for us on arrival, they stay in a cottage adjacent to the cottage, and the end of the drive has a gate . Parking was fine for us next to the stairs up to cottage. We were there to chill out and walk the local beaches. Had a lovely week thanks Ian & Mandy Jim & Shona Smith & Meg the dug

Cracking view from living room. Quiet location that’s handy for trips to Dundee and Forfar. Just over an hour to Glasgow too. Ian and Mandy were perfect hosts, so friendly. Was like a home from home. We had a great short break there and would definitely go back. Highly recommended

"This lovely bijou apartment is an oasis of calm with a wee sun drenched balcony boasting 360 degree views over the fertile Angus farmlands."
Everything you and your four footed friend need is already there, with added treats like the delicious mouth watering home made scones and jam which greeted us on arrival. There was even a jar of dog biscuits for our pooch. Our host was very welcoming and accommodating but not in any way intrusive. We can’t recommend Little Lochlair too highly.

Fantastic location for a getaway. With the dog friendly beaches just a 20 minute drive away and country parks even closer it’s perfect for a trip away with your 4 legged friend.

"Mandy and Ian are lovely people and quite laid back."
Although we hardly saw them they were always on hand if needed. The property is perfect for exploring the area, from the rugged Cliffs of Arbroath to the Angus Glens. Both just short drives away.., with lots of other walks close at hand. Views from the property being raised up are superb. A very comfortable quiet place that we will revisit without doubt. Geoff & Shirley.

Mandy and Ian made us very welcome. The home made scones on arrival were very much appreciated. The accommodation was very private, comfortable and exceptionally clean. Lovely views from the balcony!

The house is absolulty lovely, cosy and comfortable. You arrived down the owners drive way, and park into the left hand side. The owners house is to the right, and you stay directly ahead above the owners garage. It is just as it was pictured, everything was as expected and I have no complaints. The owners are absolutely lovely, and they have done everything correctly. Will 100% be coming back again!! Would recommend to anyone!

The property
Surrounded by stunning countryside views near the Angus Glens, is Little Lochlair, a stylish one bed apartment built on top of the owners garage, in the north east of Scotland.
The apartment is in the village of Kirkbuddo, near Forfar amid agricultural fields, with amenities being a short drive away, this property would be best suited to a couple for a quiet break.
Up a set of stone steps and through the glass doors, you enter the apartment and into the open-plan living space, where you can flop down onto the stylish vintage sofa to watch a film after a day of walking the Glens or perhaps just prop the door open and take in the peaceful views of the fields below.
Despite the small and compact size, you will still find everything you need in the kitchen area, with a combi microwave-oven and two-ring induction hob available to prepare some simple meals, and even a dining table for two, so save one of your nights for a romantic evening meal at the apartment, and afterwards watch the sun set from the patio.
To the back of the property, a pretty double bedroom awaits, with velux windows fitted to bring in the natural light, and home to the en-suite shower room with basin and WC.
Local amenities lie a short car journey away at Forfar, a nearby town that has several shops, pubs and supermarkets, or head to the monthly farmers' market if it's on to see the best local produce the market town has to offer.
If you're a keen golfer, then head down to Carnoustie - about a 7-mile trip - home to Carnoustie Golf Links course that often hosts the Open Championship, where many famous golfers have been before.
There's another great day out to be had in Dundee, Scotland's fourth city which has undergone recent redevelopment, and with the city being set upon the Tay estuary, what better way to enjoy the city than a boat trip with bottlenose dolphins and seals being regular visitors to the estuary, keep your eyes peeled and hopefully spot some!
Affording you a perfect base from which to explore this spectacular area, you can look forward to returning every night to Little Lochlair, your haven under the stars.
You can also take time out to visit the popular V&A Dundee.
