Cosy place with a great location

We had a great long weekend in Oct/Nov. The village is fantastic with a traditional butcher, farm shop and amazing cafe, all on a lovely high street. A wonderful park across the road which the dog loved. Lots of amazing walks nearby. The flat was cosy and there were some lovely treats on arrival. Great for dog owners too.

New Year stay

Super flat in a lovely, perfect location for town amenities and for dogs. Flat was very well equipped with modcons including Wifi and Netflix. For some reason I could not get free view on the TV so in between Netflix films I was watching NBNews and AfricanNews! Really recommend this property for a holiday in Edzell.

stay in Edzell

The flat was easy to find and the instructions to get in were straightforward and easy to follow. The flat was clean, tidy, well maintained and well-equipped. There was a welcome basket, and treats for our dog, which was a lovely gesture. We had a great few days there and would highly recommend it.

Lovely wee place

Helpful owners. Beautifully presented. Obviously newly refurbished. A great base for us for a few days. Food in Panmure Arms, over the road, recommended, as is the Glenesk Hotel, five minutes walk away. Edzell is gorgeous. Take a walk down to the Shakin Brig, beautiful.
