Home Away From Home
The Studio at Kenblethmont was perfect! It was clean and comfortable in a beautiful setting, and it is centrally located so we were able to venture out in any direction to explore Scotland. When we weren't travelling to other towns or cities, we found the surrounding grounds a peaceful, engaging alternative. It was truly a home away from home, and I would highly recommend staying here.

Loved it!!
This place is clean, convenient, and peaceful. We hiked everyday and loved the quiet environment. We were close to Arbroath and horseback riding. Dunnottar Castle was only minutes away. This vacation spot was my favourite within the two weeks we were in Scotland. We just needed better Internet service.

Wonderful stay
Great stay and a perfect location. Very clean, with all necessary accessories on site. Even with a large group in the main house, we never felt restricted. Gardens were well kept and a nice place to spend quite time.

A gem in Angus
These are outstandingly appointed cottages. All the appliances and furnishings are first rate. The decorating and maintenance are finely done. The setting is a country idyll--a manor house whose outbuildings have been renovated into first-class suites. The grounds are charming and include a massive walled garden set up for a wide range of activities. Presumably, the garden is reserved for groups who have booked the entire complex, but while we were there, there were no special events, so we got to explore and enjoy its features.

Just Great
We've had the "small" studio right next to the actual Kinblethmont House, which is situated on a rather big, nice and quiet estate.
The studio has the perfect size for a family of four, it's clean, bright and comfortable. You can walk around the estate and find a nice walled garden including a playground for the kids and even some games for adults.
As it's just south of the highlands and near the coast it's the perfect starting point for both hiking or sea trips.
Angus and Aberdeenshire offer a lot of culturally interesting places and the little town of Arbroath (which is just a few minutes away) provides you with everything you need for a nice vacation.
Kinblethmont is easily one of the best holiday homes we've had so far.
