A wonderful cottage, spotlessly clean, very comfortable, very well furnished and equipped.

A wonderful cottage, spotlessly clean, very comfortable, very well furnished and equipped. We had everything we needed including a wonderful breakfast pack from Bel's Butchers which was greatly appreciated.Our stay was short, but we do intend to return. Edzell and Glen Esk hold long term memories for us. We would heartily recommend this cottage.

Just back from a fantastic week staying in the butches cottage in Edzell, Scotland.

Just back from a fantastic week staying in the butches cottage in Edzell, Scotland. It was like home from home, had everything we needed and more. Bel was very welcoming and made us feel very comfortable. The breakfast welcome pack and milk was such a lovely touch and very much appreciated. Especially after a very long 10 hour drive. I highly recommend the butchers cottage, perfect location for walks for a dogs and Dunnottar castle, also the amazing beaches at St Cyprus and Lunan bay a must see. The village of Edzell it's self is very charming and everyone is very friendly and helpful.We will be back in the near future, Sam x
