We had a very good week, cottage has everything you could need and is very clean, quiet too! . Lovely grounds to wander around, about a twenty minute walk into village which we did several times. Used the cafe on the corner several times too. Shops in village have everything to keep you going, the hotels takeaways were very good . We toured the area and enjoyed several days out , our doggy loved LUNAN BEACH and the cafe there is excellent!! Yes we would go back

Dunlappie Lodge has a wonderful feel to it.And the picnic table in the garden was great for the hot days to eat out, or just have a wine or two.It is well situated for exploring Angus and Aberdeenshire.I would definitely return.
