About this cottage rental

Nestled just a stone's throw from the enchanting Broughty Ferry beach, 'At The River' is a charming Scottish cottage named after the iconic Groove Armada song. This artistic retreat features hidden pieces of artwork inspired by the song, adding a unique touch to the property's cosy ambiance.

Imagine this: after a delightful day exploring local shops, catching up with friends, and enjoying drinks in Broughty Ferry, you savor the famous ice cream from Visocchi's Cafe. You then find yourself strolling barefoot along the sandy shoreline, accompanied by the soothing sounds of the waves. As you approach a pristine white-walled seaside cottage, the warm glow of house lights gently illuminates the pebble stone garden path.


'At The River' is a newly refurbished gem in the heart of Broughty Ferry, Dundee. The refurbishment of this cottage was a labour of love, with meticulous attention to detail to create one of the most stylish and comfortable retreats in Scotland. Every corner of this home boasts something special, from its carefully curated decor to the concealed drawings of Broughty Ferry's landmarks, expertly hand-drawn by a local artist.

Two Bedrooms: A spacious double bedroom and an additional bedroom featuring a single bed.

Fully Equipped Kitchen: Embrace your inner chef with a fully equipped kitchen, complete with a 4-gas-ring hob, oven, grill, washer dryer, dishwasher, and fridge freezer.

Luxurious Amenities: Fresh linen and towels are provided for a carefree stay, and the bathroom features underfloor heating, a wet room shower, and a deep, relaxing bath.

Very cosy and comfortable property. Great kitchen and appliances. The courtyard garden is a suntrap! Very close to the beach and a short walk to shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. I would definitely stay again.

The cottage was beautiful and in a perfect location. We loved our stay and will definitely be coming back.

Pretty and pleasant cottage with excellent and well thought out facilities. Everything you might expect of a very good hotel and more. However the few criticisms we would make are:1. The bathroom - wet-room style actually results in everything getting soaked and is impractical.2. The doors swing open and are large and cumbersome (probably not something that can be fixed). The entry gate is far to wide and difficult to operate.3. The system whereby all instructions need to be downloaded via an App is not user friendly.4. The checkout time (given the significant daily fee) is unreasonably early.

Stay was really good. Property was easy to find and locate. Leigh-Anne gave us detailed instructions of how to locate key for property and some nice welcome touches when we arrived.Place is beautifully decorated and kept and right next to the beach which was ideal for the dog.Would highly recommend a stay here for anyone looking for a nice quiet relaxing break away.
