"Rowan Cottage was superb."
The cottage was well equipped and spotless when we arrived, and beautifully set in the stunning countryside with a short 15 minute walk to Lunan Bay beach.
We spent a week here, including day trips out to the Cairngorms (including Balmoral and Loch Lee), Dunnottar Castle, Arbroath, Montrose, House of Dun, Edinburgh, Loch Lomond, Fettercairn Distillery, and a lot of walks on the beach.
The hot tub was brilliant, as was the log fire, and the cottage was extra cosy during one of the storms.
We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

"The cottage is lovely, clean, comfortable, peaceful and extremely well equipped."
The heating keeps the cottage nice and warm, and the wood burning stove was most welcome to stave off the chilly October nights. Although we didn't use it, the hot tub is a fabulous idea and the enclosed rear garden ideal for visitors with dogs, who will also love the wide open beach just a short walk down the track.
Smokies and fresh, dressed crab from one of the fish mongers in Arbroath were fab and we would thoroughly recommend a trip to Glamis Castle and check out the Gin Bothy, the Gingerbread liquer is delicious!
As an experienced holiday home owner I would make two suggestion, which are in no way critiscisms, a couple of side or table lamps in the living room as the wall lights make the room a little 'stark' and a toilet roll holder.
Other than that we enjoyed it so much we have already booked again for next February!

"We had a lovely 5 nights in Rowan cottage, home on the 12th of October."
Fastidiously clean, comfortable and cosy. Lovely wood burning stove and spa, which once you got the hang of heating the water to the correct temperature was great to have. The kitchen had just about everything you could need and good to have some of the kitchen cupboard basics at hand. The owners were very quick to resolve an issue we had with the TV signal. A garden bench out front would be an added bonus as we had some lovely sun in the front garden. Very central too for runs to Arbroath and Montrose, both worth visiting and only 6/7 miles away. Lunan bay a mile away is a heavenly beach with St Cyrus beach about 15 miles away. If you have time a visit to Glamis Castle near Forfar is a must. Lovely time - thanks|!

"An absolutely wonderful cottage, very well equipped and very comfortable."
What made it even better for us was the quiet, sitting outside of an evening hearing only the birds and the waves breaking on Lunan beach about 500m away as the crows fly was so relaxing. Lunan beach can be reached by a farm track within 10 mins. On a sunny July day we saw about 10 people on a 2 mile beach. Our 2 labradors had a ball. Loved it.
Great to hear you enjoyed your stay .thankyou

"This cottage is situated in a lovely location so close to the beach which was ideal for the dogs."
The cottage was extremely clean and well laid out and everything you could require in the kitchen. We lived in the back room as it was so light and airy and easy to let dogs in and out. Didn't use the hot tub so can't comment on it. The only thing for the information booklet would be to add how to get to the beach (I did text owner and was given directions) and also as a dog friendly cottage, the nearest vet in case of emergencies would be useful. I would have no hesitation in coming back to this property.
Glad you enjoyed your stay at rowan cottage .thankyou

"Overall, quite satisfied with the cottage."
There were some cleanliness issues on arrival but none so bad that the owner had to be contacted. It had everything we needed, however the sofas could perhaps be replaced with something comfier. Location wise this property is exceptional. The beautiful beach was just a 10 minute walk away, absolutely perfect for dogs & kids. Arbroath & Montrose are both just a short drive away, so no need to go far for supplies. So many beautiful places to visit in the area. The icing on the cake for our visit was seeing the Northern Lights and 2 bottle-nosed dolphins in the bay. We had a fantastic stay and would love to go back.
Thanks for the feedback , we are sorry to hear about your cleanliness issues, we do pride ouselves on making sure it is cleaned to a high standard. Regarding the sofa ,we are currently waiting on new sofas arriving fingers crossed these ones will be more comfortable than the last. Thankyou for staying at rowan cottage

"Lovely venue, with access to inside attractions between 15 and 45 mins away, it was clean and tidy and comfortable."
Great walks over the cliffs and surrounding area, if weather had been drier. I would have like a really sharp knife and veg peeler…… I will take my own in future. We did enjoy the hot tub, but due to the weather only used it once.
Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at rowan cottage , peeler and new knives now in place ,we hope to see you again in the future. Thankyou

"Very well equipped cozy cottage."
In a great spot to escape from it all. Bed in main bedroom is super comfy. Log burner was great especially during the winter months. Hot tub was just superb especially after a long walk on the beach with the dogs. Front garden isn't enclosed for dogs so didn't use it but back garden enclosed and our boys enjoyed it. Couple off minutes walk to the beach and not far from Lunan Bay beach which was just lovely. Would highly recommend Rowan Cottage
Thankyou for the great feedback nice to hear yourselves and the dogs enjoyed the stay
