About this cottage rental

This detached cottage offers stunning views over the glen, and some seclusion for a peaceful break.. "Acres of peaceful and secluded countryside surround these magnificent cottages..."





At the heart of Glenprosen, one of the renowned ‘Glens of Angus’, lies the Balnaboth Estate on the edge of the Cairngorms National Park; 6,000 peaceful and secluded acres surrounding 16th-century Balnaboth House. In its midst, these six characterful holiday cottages each offer a unique and magical holiday retreat; indeed the creator of Peter Pan himself (Sir James Barrie) was born in nearby Kirriemuir and holidayed here.



These cottages were once occupied by shepherds, gardeners or other staff of the Ogilvy family when this was a traditional Victorian sporting estate. Red squirrels play in the trees, otters frequent the burns, and deer graze all around. Because of the varied scenery, that varies from beech woods to forest, pasture to heather moor, mountain streams to river pools, the area enjoys a spectacular range of wildlife, including species largely extinct elsewhere in Britain, such as black game and ptarmigan.

Magnificent walking, bird-watching, mountain biking and (in season) cross-country skiing abound on the estate and, further afield, downhill skiing at Glen Shee (25 miles). Fishing is available on a 5-mile stretch of the River Prosen, and there are twenty golf courses within an hours’ drive.

Enjoy the seclusion of this beautiful glen - peaceful, relaxing, scenic - yet just a few minutes’ drive from bustling market towns and busy fishing harbours which hug the Angus coastline, as well as from the city of Dundee which offers many attractions for all the family. The exciting Dundee Contemporary Arts is a stunningly-designed centre which incorporates galleries, a print studio and two art-cinema screens, while the Mills Observatory is Britain’s only full-time public observatory with a resident astronomer.

Good road, rail and air access to Angus provide easy access from all parts of the UK or international destinations. Shop 9-10 miles.

we love this place. If you want 5 star luxury, white leather sofas, everything served up on a silver platter and a five bar network connection look elsewhere. If you want a welcoming comfortable cottage, peaceful seclusion, amazing views and beautiful countryside to explore then this might be right up your street. South facing down a beautiful glen, unobstructed views, kites and buzzards patrolling the skies and a myriad small birds flitting around the garden. The ground floor has a well appointed kitchen a comfy sitting room with log burning stove and a bathroom with over bath shower. Two loft bedrooms upstairs, narrow staircase and low ceilings so not suited to limited mobility or taller than average. Forfar and Kirriemuir are within easy reach with a large Tesco's, Aldi, Lidl, Co-op etc so you won't lack for supplies. Also both town have an excellent selection of pubs, restaurants and take-aways. It might not be everyone's cup of tea but it most definitely is ours.

Buckhood is ideal for those who want a remote location with tremendous walking on the doorstep plus easy access to the higher peaks in the Angus Glens. The property was dog friendly and there was no better way to the end the day than with a glass of malt in front of the log burner. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Second stay at Buckhood.
Second stay at Buckhood.
Second stay at Buckhood. It is in a lovely location with good dog walking. Our dog enjoyed the garden & so did we as the weather was kind. We even saw two red kites! No problem with the shower & used very little electricity as the stove provided lots of heat in the evening. Would recommend the walk up to Airlie Tower, a visit to Glen Clova & Glen Doll/Corrie Fee waterfall. The Co-op in Kirriemuir is very well stocked. All in all a very enjoyable & relaxing week.

We absolutely loved our stay at Buckhood! The cottage had everything we could have needed, and was set in the most beautiful location. The kitchen was the hub of family gatherings, with a table which saw a lot of evening card playing. Waking up to the sound of bleating sheep and lambs was just the best. Closest town is Kirrimuir, which is a 15 minute drive away, but has a well-stocked Co-op. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
