Wonderful Cottage in the Country

The Chauffeur's Cottage was as close to perfect as possible. Its located in the country outside of Arboath, but made the perfect home based for our time exploring the Angus area, plus was an easy drive from St. Andrews and the othre course in Fife. We can't wait for an opportunity to return.

What an Amazing Holiday Cottage

Chauffeurs cottage is a beautiful haven in the country. On its own estate it is incredibly peaceful and mostly you can only hear the wildlife - obviously this means a car is a must. The cottage is fantastic, fully equipped with everything you could need. Communications with Jessica were excellent. The walled garden is a great bonus and my 79 year old mum played badminton and on the swings there for hours with her grandchildren creating memories we will never forget. We visited Arbroath, Broughty Ferry and Edinburgh. Amazing holiday, amazing cottage and even amazing weather.

Entspannen in traumhafter Umgebung

Das Cottage wurde mit viel Liebe zu einem Wohlfühlort umgebaut, in dem sich unsere ganze Familie wie zu Hause fühlte. Dadurch, dass die Schlafzimmer oben sind, stört es auch nicht, wenn abends noch bzw. morgens schon einer in der Küche oder im Wohnzimmer herum werkelt. (Lediglich die Treppe knarzt ein bisschen.) Ebenso ist das weitläufige Anwesen mit dem gepflegten Walled Garten ein Highlight. (Für Familien sehr zu empfehlen.) Vom Anwesen aus sind eine Vielzahl von Sehenswürdigkeiten ohne große Fahrtstrecken zu erreichen. Wir können es nur wärmstens empfehlen. Echt toll!!!!!

Another great stay at Kinblethmont

This was our third stay at Kinblethmont and second time in the Chauffeur's cottage. As before the accommodation was wonderful - very comfortable with everything a family needs. The location is lovely as is the estate and the walled garden is a real gem. Already we (and especially our seven year old grandson) are looking forward to returning.

Delightful stay

The cottage is spacious, comfortable, clean and well equipped; the owners were very pleasant and helpful; the estate is beautiful; and the walled garden is enchanting. We loved the snowdrops and wildlife (especially the red squirrels). Such a fantastic place.

Spacious and homely stay at Christmas

Lovely and very comfortable cottage in a equally lovely part of Scotland. We used this as a good base to relax over Christmas but also do a wee bit of exploring around a bit of Scotland we've never really seen much of before, be it around Angus, across to Fife or even a short jaunt into the Cairngorms this made for the ideal base. As for the cottage itself with very spacious living areas and master bedroom, 2 other rooms and a very well equiped kitchen along with 3 bath/shower rooms upstairs and WC downstairs made this ideal for the whole family. Also a special thanks to Fiona from Kinblethmont who kindly posted onto her a couple of items we had left behind. Would thoroghly recommend Kinblethmont cottages.

A wonderful house and surroundings

We had a wonderful time indeed. My husband and I took our 7 month old daughter and my parents. The owners of Kinblethmont had thought of everything. We didn't need for anything really. The facilities were superb. The Walled Garden was also a delight and we were very lucky with the weather. Will make definitely be back!

Beautiful luxury cottage

Kinblethmont Estate is a beautiful property just outside of Arbroath. Set in the lush agricultural fields of northeast Scotland, it serves as an excellent spot for exploring the area. There is plenty to see (5 Angus glens, Dunottar Castle, Glamis, and many lovely small towns and villages), and if you like to walk, the seaside paths, and the glens provide many trails.Arbroath and St. Vigens are well worh exploring, with smokies and other delicacies easily available. Be sure to have a meal at The But N Ben in sweet Auchmithie, only 3 miles away. The Chauffer's Cottage was fully equipped and very comfortable for the 6 adults plus one baby. Everything we needed was on hand, and of good quality. The common rooms were spacious and comfortable. The beds were good and bathrooms all functioned well. We really enjoyed the walled garden and had fun with table tennis, the playground and badminton. We look forward to returning soon!

Heel fijn en compleet huis.

We hebben met 6 personen een heerlijk verblijf gehad. Als we iets hadden bezichtigd zeiden we: 'fijn weer naar ons huis'. Moet ook heerlijk zijn met kinderen; vlakbij is een ommuurde tuin waar iedereen lekker zijn gang kan gaan. Geen drukte, heerlijk rustig en toch ook een heel veilig gevoel. Heel gezellig houtkacheltje. Heerlijke bedden en een warme krachtige straal die uit de douche kwam! Het was fijn hier!

Highly recommended.

A lovely house in the Angus countryside, warm, clean and cosy with a log fire when you need it. Very well equipped with everything you need. Good service from friendly people and I would recommend the house to anybody who likes the countryside. Roe dear and pheasants in the garden and a short drive to the town with lots to see and do. Lunan beach also a short drive away. I will certainly return the next time I am in Scotland, a great place for a holiday.
