Rottal Farmhouse – A Highland Retreat in Glen Clova Rottal Farmhouse is a traditional four-bedroom holiday home set within a private rural estate in the heart of Glen Clova—the largest and most spectacular of the Angus Glens. Surrounded by dramatic hills, rich woodlands, and the winding South Esk River, this cosy and spacious farmhouse is the perfect escape for those seeking tranquillity, adventure, and a connection to nature.

The farmhouse itself sits within a large, fully enclosed garden offering uninterrupted views of Glen Clova’s sweeping landscapes. Inside, it’s warm and welcoming throughout, heated by a sustainable biomass boiler. The heart of the home is a traditional kitchen featuring a classic AGA, perfect for sociable cooking and relaxed meals. The adjacent dining room and generous lounge both boast wood-burning stoves and large windows that frame breathtaking views of the glen.

The bay windows in the lounge are a particular highlight, offering a perfect spot to unwind and watch the ever-changing light over the hills. Each of the four bedrooms is comfortably furnished and styled with charming, farmhouse-inspired décor. A spacious utility room makes returning from outdoor adventures easy—ideal for muddy boots and wet gear after a day’s hiking or cycling.

Beyond the house, guests are free to explore the wider Rottal Estate, which is committed to creating a climate-sensitive haven for wildlife. From high peat bogs to the South Esk River, the estate is restoring natural habitats including planting over 2,000 native trees, and the creation of new hedgerows. These efforts aim to support invertebrates, fish, and upland bird species, and to give the river room to thrive.

Once a traditional sheep farm, Rottal has shifted toward conservation-focused agriculture, with Highland cattle now playing a key role in restoring natural grazing patterns. Whether you’re relaxing in the garden, enjoying a fireside evening indoors, or exploring Glen Clova’s rugged beauty, Rottal Farmhouse offers an unforgettable taste of rural Scotland—wild, welcoming, and wonderfully restorative.
