Like many classic Scottish coastal homes, the property combines historic character with modern comfort, creating a welcoming and spacious place to stay.

The house has been carefully maintained and thoughtfully styled, offering generous living space and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether you are visiting for a short break or a longer stay, it provides a comfortable base for exploring Broughty Ferry, Dundee and the surrounding coastline.

With four double bedrooms and plenty of space throughout, the property works well for families or groups looking for a coastal stay close to the city.

The main living room is bright and welcoming, with large windows that frame the river views and bring natural light into the space. Comfortable seating makes it an ideal place to relax after a day out exploring the local area.

Broughty Castle, overlooking the Tay, offers an insight into the town’s history and its origins as a fishing village. Nearby sandy beaches and coastal paths provide opportunities for walks along the waterfront.

The area is also well placed for golf, with well known courses including Carnoustie and St Andrews within easy reach, alongside several excellent local courses.

Incredible place

This place was better than we imagined. All 4 of us kept commenting on how spacious and well appointed this house was. From the fully equipped kitchen to the large bedrooms this had it all. Beautiful backyard and amazing views of the water. Perfectly located for our golfing with lots of restaurants and pubs within walking distance. The parking was easy and check-in was seamless. Thank you for letting us stay at your incredible place!
