Clifftop Cottage - A Seaside Sanctuary

Clifftop Cottage presents a charming two-bedroom semi-detached retreat nestled in the picturesque village of Auchmithie, near Arbroath.



Positioned right on the cliff's edge, (although you will have to venture outside to capture the best views - you won't want to miss out on them), this former fishing abode is a mere 30 meters from the beach access steps, with an array of clifftop pathways at your doorstep.



Inside, the accommodation is conveniently laid out on a single level, with the highlight being the impressive open-plan living area and kitchen. The space boasts a semi-vaulted ceiling reaching full roof height, adorned with exposed beams and two expansive VELUX windows, ensuring ample natural light even on overcast days.



A freestanding wood-burning stove adds warmth and ambiance, while a generously sized dining table beneath one of the roof windows offers a delightful setting for meals. For entertainment, a high-end Samsung Frame TV adorns the wall.



The cottage features two bedrooms - one double and one twin - both offering partial sea views over neighboring rooftops. The shower room is equipped with a walk-in enclosure featuring a rainfall shower head, ideal for rinsing off after beach adventures, with underfloor heating providing comfort during colder months.



Auchmithie is a haven for both humans and dogs alike, and Clifftop Cottage welcomes furry friends, providing dog bowls for their convenience. While the cottage doesn't have its own garden, a shared courtyard with neighboring properties offers a pleasant outdoor space. Nearby, public benches and a picnic table provide ideal spots to enjoy coffee or soak up the sun.



Following a thorough renovation, Clifftop Cottage now presents a blend of traditional charm with modern comforts. Guests can expect a well-appointed kitchen, luxurious bathroom, and tasteful furnishings throughout.



Facilities include:



Open-plan living room/kitchen with wood burner (logs provided)

Modern, well-equipped kitchen with induction hob, oven, grill, washing machine, and dishwasher

Dining table and four chairs

Underfloor heating in the bathroom

Dog friendly

One double bedroom and one twin bedroom

Free on-street parking



We look forward to welcoming you to Clifftop Cottage!

Clifftop Retreat

Could easily charge much more for the 2 days that we stayed here. Needs a wee bit of money spent on it though Front door had a large weed to the right of the door and key box needs replaced or repainted. Some windows had blinds and shutters were badly fitted with no handles. Living room/kitchen needed a few pictures and a fancy splash back at cooker.Bathroom needs toilet pan secured to the floor better and a mirror. Bedrooms need clothes hangers A small breakfast pack and maybe a bowl of fruit and a few bottles of water, would add a wee bit extra to the whole experience. I have to remember that the cottage does hold 4 people, but feel that they could easily achieve much more with a few pounds spent

Lovely cottage in beautiful location.

The cottage is very well equipped. It is spacious with everything you need supplied e.g. kitchen roll, dishwasher tablets. The surrounding area is stunning and the coastal walk was beautiful. There is no outside space or view from the cottage however.

Great stay. Clean and tidy. Needs a cosy touch and suggestions have been shared. Few snagging issues with the letting agency but they did communicate promptly with any issue.
