We had a fantastic stay at The Butchers Cottage in Edzell. The property was spotless, beautifully presented and had everything we could possibly need. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped, which made cooking easy and enjoyable. Even when the weather turned and it started raining, we were able to relax indoors with the telly on, which turned into some lovely family time.The location is excellent, right in the heart of Edzell with easy access to local shops, cafes and walks. We really enjoyed discovering Edzell and the neighbouring areas. It was also great to have access to such wonderful local produce nearby.A special thank you to Bel, who left a thoughtful welcome gift for breakfast. It was a lovely touch and made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived.We would highly recommend The Butchers Cottage for anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable break. It made for a perfect first family holiday and we can’t wait to return.Thank you

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was comfortable, very clean and well equipped. Our host, Bel, was friendly and helpful. Don’t be concerned that it’s directly behind a butcher’s shop. This was no bother and the staff there were very friendly - we bumped into them from time to time but it did not affect our privacy. Edzell is a charming village and a great location for exploring the wider area.
