What an amazing cottage! The location is simply stunning with fabulous views from every room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Lucken. The cottage has every convenience and comfort you could wish for. The rooms are spacious and light and yet cosy. The owners have thought of everything and the cottage is so well-equipped and tastefully furnished and decorated, with lots of thoughtful touches. It is just 3 miles to Arbroath (where there is a train station) and it is very convenient to visit lots of towns and attractions. We would highly recommend staying here and would love to return.
