Brechin
This
charming self-catering cottage is situated in the delightful Angus countryside
between Brechin and Edzell, the gateway to the glens.
Ideally placed for shops and local facilities within 10 minutes drive. Whether you are interested in golf, fishing, hill walking, beach walks, cycling, historic sites, or even paint-balling, there are activities to please everyone.
The world famous Carnoustie and St Andrews golf courses are just about an hour's drive and there are a range of quality golf courses only minutes away.
The Hayloft at Wards of Keithock has a truly magical atmosphere, and is surrounded by wildlife. There are frequent sightings of red squirrels, roe-deer, woodpeckers and even kingfishers. The cottage has been sensitively furnished in a traditional yet modern country style with all the amenities you will require for a relaxing and comfortable holiday.
Welcome to ‘The Hayloft’!
The Hayloft Accommodation
Entry is into an entrance area, with cloakroom and WC leading off. From there, you move into an open plan downstairs area comprising on one side a charming, well appointed kitchen with dining area. The original deep window has been retained to maintain the original character of the building.
On the other side is a bright and sunny sitting room with French windows leading out onto a patio and overlooking the attractive and well maintained garden.
A stairway leads up stairs to a small landing. On either side there is a double room, both with an en suite bathroom. Each bath has an overhead shower. One of the rooms has a Juliet balcony.
Both rooms have velux windows almost to floor level so that the lovely views can be enjoyed when lying in bed. One bedroom has twin beds which convert to a super king sized double, the other has a double bed. Both bedrooms have plentiful storage so you do not have to live out of suitcases.

of the year.

It is not permitted to leave dogs unattended in the cottage. Care should be taken at all times outside as there is always livestock in the neighbouring field. Pet supplement of £15 extra towards cleaning costs.
We regret that we are unable to accept cats.
