With a lovely balcony to soak up the afternoon sun, this converted cornmill is ideal for a restful break in lovely surroundings!. Set in a wonderful location, the upside-down layout takes full advantage of the gorgeous views over the surrounding fields, with a contemporary glass fronted balcony accessed from the cosy open plan living area and kitchen on the first floor. A perfect spot to relax in the afternoon sunshine over a glass of something, while planning the next day’s excursion in this lovely part of Scotland.

Set just on the outskirts of the pretty village of Fettercairn, the cottage is within an easy walk of its shopand cafe. The Gothic Arch in the village centre is a memorial to a visit by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1861 on a route to Balmoral now known as the Victorian Heritage Trail. This famous trail takes in the scenic Cairn O Mount road revealing spectacular panoramic views over Angus and Aberdeenshire. The village also boasts its own distillery where visitors can take tours and sample the local dram.
There is a wealth of beautiful countryside in the surrounding area, including the Angus Glens leading deep into the Cairngorms with great walking, climbing and mountain biking. To the east there are pretty fishing villages, cliffs and excellent beaches at St Cyrus, Lunan Bay and Montrose. The area has lots of great sightseeing opportunities, including whisky tours, fishing, golf, castle visits, paddle boarding and sea safaris, to name a few, so you will definitely want to book a return visit!.
