Druid’s Knowe sits in a superb position on the outskirts of the little hamlet of Tarfside, in the heart of Glen Esk.
Surrounded by gorgeous scenery this wonderful house has been totally and sympathetically refurbished and modernised right down to the last detail, but still retaining its original character. This is a perfect property if you love the great outdoors, appreciate the splendour of the Scottish countryside and are looking for rest and relaxation in an unspoilt and peaceful location.
The interior features a living room with wood burner on open plan to a well fitted kitchen, three double bedrooms (one on the ground floor) and two bathrooms, while outside there are gardens front and back, where you can sit and soak up the peace and quiet. Tarfside and Glenesk are good starting points for some excellent walks amongst stunning scenery and diverse wildlife. A few miles west of Tarfside is Mount Keen, Scotland’s most easterly Munro. Just along from the house is Glenesk Retreat and Folk Museum, gift shop and an art gallery. The museum is dedicated to the heritage, history and culture of Glenesk and focuses on the life of the rural community. At the bottom of the glen you can travel the length of the Victorian Heritage Trail, passing through Fettercairn with its Gothic Arch and local Distillery (where tours can be taken) up through Cairn o’ Mount and into Royal Deeside, ending at Balmoral Castle.
There is ample fishing and golf in the area as well as some good eating places or why not visit the beautiful beaches on the east coast at Montrose, Lunan Bay and St Cyrus.

Druids Knowe was endoubtedly the best cottage we've stated in. Everything you could possibly need was provided. The area is so quiet and peaceful and there's plenty to do in the surrounding area too. We had a very informative chat with the neighbour and he gave us some pointers where to walk too. The walk up Mt Keen is wonderful eventhough it was very windy and cold on top. We really enjoyed our stay in Druids Knowe and would heartily recommend it.

An absolutely stunning cottage in a wonderful location. Finished to a super high standard that really does feel more like a home than a holiday rental. Walks from the doorstep and the location feels really rural but is only 30 minutes away from a town with everything you would need.Loved the variety of birds you can see and hear in the garden, and the added bonus of the oyster catchers and lapwings in the fields.Highly recommend staying here.
