About this property
An exquisite conversion of the old potting shed, set in the heart of the extensive gardens of Old Montrose House.. Situated in the grounds of Old Montrose House, the owners’ home, next to the Montrose Basin Nature Reserve, are these five holiday properties offering high quality accommodation close to each other, yet totally separate.
The Stables (ref UK11108) is a luxurious, detached conversion on two levels with a high spec finish and chic furnishings. Beautifully renovated and lovingly restored, it combines traditional cottage ambience with contemporary style, and features a walk-around gallery in the centre of the building above the living room.
The Old Gasworks Building (ref UKC2272) is a delightful, detached cottage, which has been built on a historic site, and provides a very stylish and comfortable holiday home.
Gardener’s Cottage (ref UKC3040) is a gorgeous, upside-down, detached cottage which was formerly the head gardener’s house in times past. Furnished with style and flair, this quirky cottage is wonderfully situated in a secluded spot in the grounds, with a private sunny garden and patio off the main bedroom where you can soak up the sun in peace.
Grieve’s Cottage (ref UK11107) is a little gem – a tastefully furnished and spacious, one bedroomed cottage with an open plan living space on the ground floor and a spacious bedroom with sumptuous bed and en-suite shower room on the first floor.
The Garden Room (ref UK34071) is an absolutely stunning conversion of the original potting shed and offers a unique holiday experience. One half of the property is taken up with an enormous conservatory, stylishly designed and furnished to complement the garden surroundings, while the other half houses a high-quality kitchen, shower room and double bedroom.
All guests have access to the owners’ large enclosed walled garden, hard tennis court and small putting green. The idyllic peaceful surroundings are complemented by a structured walled garden and other features, including a rose garden intersected by pathways to meander through and stop to enjoy the scents of summer.
Just a short drive from the centre of Montrose, this is an ideal base from which to explore an area that is rich in culture, wildlife and heritage. Montrose sits on a peninsula between the South and North Esk rivers. The magnificent sandy beach, golf courses and links area are very popular with tourists, as well as additional leisure facilities including tennis courts, bowling greens and parks. There are plenty of good cycle routes around the cottage and throughout the area, and for golfers there are over 30 courses within an hour’s drive, including the championship courses of Carnoustie and St Andrews. Excellent beaches including Lunan Bay, Arbroath and St Cyrus are nearby and are ideal for surfing or enjoying a barbecue. Fishing can also be found within easy reach. Beach 3½ miles.

We had an amazing mini break. The Garden Rooms were all we hoped for and more. The setting in a walled garden was special and quite unique. The house was well equipped to a high standard with everything required. Lovely welcome pack made our first evening complete. Sitting in the garden room was the most relaxing and calming experience. Host very attentive and easily contacted. Would recommend and hope to revisit.

This place knocks it out of the park. The location is perfect for anyone wanting a luxury stay near Lunan Bay!I would also like to add that Richard was fantastic and so accommodating, he was eager to help where he could with recommendations of local places we needed to check out.5/5, will be coming back hopefully in the not so distant future.

This is a wonderfully peaceful and private place to stay. The greenhouse was so light and lovely to be in even though it was torrential rain outside! The gardens were lovely to walk around- I'd love to see it in bloom in the summer.
