Get away from it all !
Lovely 2-bed apartment with a mix of old world charm combined with modern touches in a very peaceful setting. Access to the property’s extensive walled garden and a lack of wi-fi adds to the general feeling that you can really “get away from it all” here, despite only being a short drive from Forfar’s town centre.
