"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..

Surrounded by open moorland with no neighbours and lots of wildlife. Heating is by open fire or electric heaters - no central heating so outside of the summer months its not the warmest of houses. Great for walking and the outdoors with direct access to the tracks over the moors and hills. ##### David This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Steven 4 Jul 2019 #### Views and wildlife fantastic.

Our equipment, however, left much to be desired. one of three electric fires was not working, neither was the electric iron. there was no washer or drier installed, which created difficulties when you are there for 2 weeks, particularly as only 4 pegs were supplied! there also seemed to be various draughts coming into the cottage. The estate staff we came across were very friendly.The cost of the electricity, I felt was excessive, and as this was paid for separately, gives a false impression of the cost of hiring the cottage, when booked, as you have no idea that the electricity is so costly. I suggest that it would be more up front if the power cost was not additional, and the hire charges reflected this. Despite these problems we were very happy to have our holiday there. ##### baden ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Golden Jubilee Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clydebank-Hotels-Golden-Jubilee-Hotel.h664349.Hotel-Information) > > [The Busby Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-The-Busby-Hotel.h10004759.Hotel-Information) > > [Coylumbridge Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aviemore-Hotels-Coylumbridge-Resort-Hotel.h520458.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh - Queensferry Crossing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunfermline-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Edinburgh-Queensferry-Crossing.h1152983.Hotel-Information) > > [Portavadie](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tighnabruaich-Hotels-Portavadie.h11974275.Hotel-Information) > > [Glenisle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isle-Of-Arran-Hotels-Glenisle-Hotel.h2810774.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Melfort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-Loch-Melfort-Hotel.h520255.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Glasgow East Kilbride by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-East-Kilbride.h520428.Hotel-Information) > > [Queen of the Loch, Balloch by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Queen-Of-The-Loch-By-Marstons-Inns.h33716771.Hotel-Information) > > [Moffat Manor Country Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moffat-Hotels-Moffat-Manor-Country-Park.h17709438.Hotel-Information) > > [Ardoe House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberdeen-Hotels-Ardoe-House-Hotel-Spa.h23180.Hotel-Information) > > [Glasgow Westerwood Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Glasgow-Westerwood-Spa-Golf-Resort.h893990.Hotel-Information) > > [Cromlix](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-Cromlix.h1580309.Hotel-Information) > > [Lochside House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cumnock-Hotels-Lochside-House-Hotel-Spa.h900570.Hotel-Information) > > [The Whispering Pine Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Spean-Bridge-Hotels-The-Whispering-Pine-Lodge.h11119972.Hotel-Information) > > [Peel Farm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirriemuir-Hotels-Peel-Farm.h29473884.Hotel-Information) > > [Auchrannie Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isle-Of-Arran-Hotels-Auchrannie-Resort.h4140916.Hotel-Information) > > [Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Dalmahoy-Hotel-Country-Club.h21999.Hotel-Information) > > [Glen Clova Hotel and Lodges](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirriemuir-Hotels-Glen-Clova-Hotel-And-Lodges.h20863608.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kenmore Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-The-Kenmore-Club.h9234110.Hotel-Information) > > [The Portpatrick Hotel by Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stranraer-Hotels-Portpatrick-Hotel.h13430754.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Boutique Huntingtower Perth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Perth-Hotels-Leonardo-Boutique-Huntingtower-Perth.h859382.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Crutherland House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Macdonald-Crutherland-House-And-Spa.h569463.Hotel-Information) > > [Gleddoch Golf & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Glasgow-Hotels-Gleddoch-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h1502522.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tarbet Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-The-Tarbet-Hotel.h13407451.Hotel-Information) > > [Parklands Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Parklands-Hotel-Country-Club.h14766742.Hotel-Information) > > [Duck Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Duck-Bay-Hotel.h30097341.Hotel-Information) > > [Seamill Hydro Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Kilbride-Hotels-Seamill-Hydro-Hotel-Resort.h1818213.Hotel-Information) > > [Bowfield Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johnstone-Hotels-Bowfield-Hotel-Country-Club.h1796965.Hotel-Information)
