STUDIO (KINBLETHMONT)

The "Studio" utterly deserves the 4 star rating given by the Scottish Tourist Board. We found the place to be comfortable and very pleasant to occupy, even during some adverse weather conditions. A lot of thought appears to have gone into the design and layout of the interior, (two bed rooms suited for up to four people), which created an open-spaced effect with all the homey comforts of a small cottage. It was a joy to return to after long days of sight-seeing. John M.

The Studio at Kinblethmont

A beautifully appointed,spotlessly clean, cosy and homely holiday cottage in a really pretty and tranquil spot. Lots of lovely wee touches like a welcome pack of shortbread, oatcakes and marmalade as well as tea, coffee and milk in the fridge when we arrived. All the stuff that makes a good stay were spot on: good showers, cony beds and bedding and all the kitchen amenities you could want. We were in Angus for a few days and this was the ideal base, coming back to the peace of the cottage at the end of busy days. The good weather we had when we were there probably helped as well! I would throughly recommend it and hope to be back.

Beautiful Studio, Kinblethmon

The description is not an empty promise. The owner makes sure that your holiday is perfect. On arrival you find some goodies to welcome you. A lot of love is put in every single detail so that you feel at home right away. The location is ideal for starting to explore Scotland. You can easily find your way to Glamis Castle, St. Andrews, Stirling Castle, Balmoral. After those castle trips you enjoy coming "home" to the Studio. As the house is located in a small forest it is quiet and peaceful. I would always come back and recommend it.

An Excellent short break with my husband and grandson,

this short break at Kinblethmont was amazing , we stayed in the Studio which was perfect for us, the weather was really bad but we still found things to do , walking round the garden, watching for the dear,, making use of the table tennis, rugby ball, football and all the assorted sports equipment,, my grandson thought he was in heaven and could not believe he was allowed to roam in and out of the paths around the estate. .I loved the fantastic display of snowdrops all around ,quite breath taking when the sun did show its face,,,.The studio was lovely and cosy, very warm and comfortable, great to come back to after a walk along the sea front at Arbroath...and we really had such a good time that we hope we can get back next year ( or maybe sooner. if my Grandson has his way , .). next time hopefully for more than a few days.... thank you all at the Estate for a fantastic break...

Just Great

We've had the "small" studio right next to the actual Kinblethmont House, which is situated on a rather big, nice and quiet estate. The studio has the perfect size for a family of four, it's clean, bright and comfortable. You can walk around the estate and find a nice walled garden including a playground for the kids and even some games for adults. As it's just south of the highlands and near the coast it's the perfect starting point for both hiking or sea trips. Angus and Aberdeenshire offer a lot of culturally interesting places and the little town of Arbroath (which is just a few minutes away) provides you with everything you need for a nice vacation. Kinblethmont is easily one of the best holiday homes we've had so far.

Large grounds with vast trees and blooming shrubs aplenty , huge walled garden with badminton etc . As for the studio cottage you couldnt fault it 2 large en suite bedrooms with a further cloakroom downstairs . Hope to revisit at some point.George Pont.

Home Away From Home

The Studio at Kenblethmont was perfect! It was clean and comfortable in a beautiful setting, and it is centrally located so we were able to venture out in any direction to explore Scotland. When we weren't travelling to other towns or cities, we found the surrounding grounds a peaceful, engaging alternative. It was truly a home away from home, and I would highly recommend staying here.

Loved it!!

This place is clean, convenient, and peaceful. We hiked everyday and loved the quiet environment. We were close to Arbroath and horseback riding. Dunnottar Castle was only minutes away. This vacation spot was my favourite within the two weeks we were in Scotland. We just needed better Internet service.

Stunning

This was our first trip to Scotland and on arrival we was overwhelmed with the location, accomidation and the beautiful grounds. We stopped in the studio and was perfect for the 3 of us (2 adults & 4 year old). Very well maintained and spotless. The owners where very friendly and made sure everything was ok. We would highly recommend the studio to all of our family and friends. We will return in the near furture :)

A gem in Angus

These are outstandingly appointed cottages. All the appliances and furnishings are first rate. The decorating and maintenance are finely done. The setting is a country idyll--a manor house whose outbuildings have been renovated into first-class suites. The grounds are charming and include a massive walled garden set up for a wide range of activities. Presumably, the garden is reserved for groups who have booked the entire complex, but while we were there, there were no special events, so we got to explore and enjoy its features.

More Private than Expected

Having previously stayed in The Stables we were worried that The Studio may be slightly underwhelming, however it became apparent very quickly that this wasn't the case at all. We were met by Fiona who was lovely and very welcoming. She ensured we had everything we needed for our stay and made us feel like nothing would be any trouble. The listing description was very accurate, the property had everything we needed and more for a very comfortable 4 night stay. The only thing it perhaps lacks is a dishwasher, that being said there was washing up liquid, sponge, cloth and dish brush all provided for our use. All of the windows overlook lovely woodland and the estate grounds with the exception of the door and window to the back of the property which overlooks Kinblethmont House. I was a bit apprehensive as I knew there were guests staying there but it's surprisingly very private. The kitchen window would however benefit from having blinds/curtain as it's a very large window and guests staying at The Chauffeur's Cottage need to drive/walk past to gain entry and it looks right into the kitchen/dining area. We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely return.

Kinblethmont Studio: Cozy & Comfortable

The Studio, adjacent to the Mansion, is a surprisingly large, but clean, cozy and comfortable- 'homey' cottage. Although it shares a common interior wall with the Chauffer's Cottage, we didn't hear a peep from the occupants. The unit was fully equipped right down to a charcoal grill and a telescoping close line! Both bedrooms were ensuite, plus a toilet and lavatory is off the first level entry. The weather was so nice we didn't need to have the heat on, but there are bio-fuel boiler-fed radiators. We loved to walk on the various paths including the path around the field of solar panels and the area enclosing the grazing goats, and the walled garden. The Pheasants and a Red squirrel made frequent visits to the front lawn and were a joy to behold. I highly recommend this property to everyone who wants to relax in verdant surrounding with singing birds.

Excellent family holiday accommodation

We stayed in the studio cottage which was everything we wanted and more. The cottage was equipped with everything we could need and more and the little extras such as tea/coffee/milk on arrival were so fantastic. Jessica was so welcoming and nothing was too much , sadly we didn't have chance to talk to Robert about the windmills or solar panels - next time for sure! The walled garden was superb, equipped with everything my young children could dream of and perfect for teens too! We would love to go back and explore further afield as there was so much to do in and around Arbroath we couldn't do it all!!

Outstanding cottage on beautiful estate!

We stayed at The Studio for 8 days in May and found it to be very comfortable (perfect for a family of 4), exactly as described, and excellent value for money. The cottage is set in the beautiful Kinblethmont estate which is ideally situated for exploring Arbroath, Montrose, Lunan Bay, and all of Angus. There is plenty to explore on the estate itself - check out the walled garden or the view from the pathway leading to the mast. The art gallery in the main house is also well worth visiting. Some nice touches in the cottage include wifi, Sky tv, a well stocked kitchen, and powerful showers! We highly recommend the Studio and definitely plan on visiting again!

Excellent Bedrooms - each with ensuite bathroom Overall Greatly enjoyed the week on the working farm with red squirrels, pheasants, and song birds. Very quiet in the evening and able to walk around the treed property with a surprise walled garden. Each morning from the bedroom was a view a extremely tall fir tree in the front estate house property. Logistics were good from Edinburgh airport or Arbroath train station. Very scenic drive to the Highlands (aka narrow road), castles, and Killiecrankie hiking trail is available. Recommendations: Edinburgh - the Sheep Heid Inn and the Royal mile - with a surprise hike over the old volcano in the middle to town. St. Andrews on Sunday was enjoyable (closed to golfing - open to walking the old course) The Macallan Distillery (reservations required) 3 hour tour that includes samples of 15, 18, 21, 25 year old scotch. Pitlochry - Heather Gems factory and Killiecrankie hike. Arbroath is a nice sized town with plenty of grocery stores, postal services, quick food, and restaurants. Great base town.
