As a fan of Lewis Grassic Gibbon, this place was perfect. So much more to see - Air museums, farm shops, beaches, and Montrose Basin with its wildlife (a photographer joined us in a hide, who supplied photos to the wildlife organisation and showed us some of his wonderful photos)! Friendly people, too. ##### Jenny Stewart This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Gill 1 Sept 2019 #### Lovely location sitting up on a hill from nearby Inverbervie. Lovely location sitting up on a hill from nearby Inverbervie. The view from the end of the driveway down to the coast is wonderful. The cottage is well equipped with cooking utensils, washing machine, dishwasher (with tablets in cupboard), microwave and cooker etc. There was milk in the fridge, some tea/coffee for an arrival cuppa and a packet of shortbread. The three bedrooms were comfortable, the upstairs bathroom looked a bit tired but was perfectly functional. It was warm and cosy. Converted from the former school there is plenty of character with high ceilings and large multi-pane windows. Very peaceful location. The Grassic Gibbon centre is next door. The historic St Ternan's church is a short walk away (the final resting place of several of my ancestors) with the memorial to Lewis Grassic Gibbon. The surrounding countryside is beautiful, there are many fabulous beaches to explore and plenty interesting and historical places to visit. ##### Gill ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Macdonald Crutherland House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Macdonald-Crutherland-House-And-Spa.h569463.Hotel-Information) > > [Coylumbridge Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aviemore-Hotels-Coylumbridge-Resort-Hotel.h520458.Hotel-Information) > > [Greshornish House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portree-Hotels-Greshornish-House-Hotel.h23086689.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Ness Drumnadrochit Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Hotels-Loch-Ness-Drumnadrochit-Hotel.h2041754.Hotel-Information) > > [Enterkine House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ayr-Hotels-Enterkine-House-Hotel.h10176973.Hotel-Information) > > [Ardeonaig Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Killin-Hotels-Ardeonaig-Hotel.h15830740.Hotel-Information) > > [Torrs Warren Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stranraer-Hotels-Torrs-Warren-Country-House-Hotel.h1780862.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Lomond Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Loch-Lomond-Hotel.h83284830.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Forest Hills Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-Macdonald-Forest-Hills-Hotel-Spa.h1158093.Hotel-Information) > > [Balcomie Links Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anstruther-Hotels-Balcomie-Links-Hotel.h29273506.Hotel-Information) > > [Glasgow Westerwood Spa & Golf Resort ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Glasgow-Westerwood-Spa-Golf-Resort.h893990.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kenmore Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-The-Kenmore-Club.h9234110.Hotel-Information) > > [Finavon Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Forfar-Hotels-Finavon-Hotel.h39618185.Hotel-Information) > > [Achness Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lairg-Hotels-Achness-Hotel.h24057466.Hotel-Information) > > [Moffat Mansion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moffat-Hotels-Moffat-Mansion.h17712636.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) > > [Waterfront Cottage with own Beach and Stunning Views Across The Clyde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunoon-Hotels-Waterfront-Cottage-With-Stunning-Views.h39682263.Hotel-Information) > > [Ardoe House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberdeen-Hotels-Ardoe-House-Hotel-Spa.h23180.Hotel-Information) > > [Parklands Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Parklands-Hotel-Country-Club.h14766742.Hotel-Information) > > [Lochinvar Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-Lochinvar-Hotel.h43651710.Hotel-Information) > > [Ben Cruachan inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dalmally-Hotels-Ben-Cruachan-Inn.h27041653.Hotel-Information) > > [go2 Glasgow Cumbernauld Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Go2-Glasgow-Cumbernauld-Hotel.h5963230.Hotel-Information) > > [Peel Farm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirriemuir-Hotels-Peel-Farm.h29473884.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO The Ivory Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-OYO-The-Ivory-Hotel.h2760113.Hotel-Information) > > [Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Dalmahoy-Hotel-Country-Club.h21999.Hotel-Information) > > [ARDENNAN HOUSE HOTEL](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverurie-Hotels-ARDENNAN-HOUSE-HOTEL.h34546411.Hotel-Information) > > [Duck Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Duck-Bay-Hotel.h30097341.Hotel-Information) > > [Lochside House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cumnock-Hotels-Lochside-House-Hotel-Spa.h900570.Hotel-Information) > > [The Murray Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-The-Murray-Arms-Hotel.h22682976.Hotel-Information) ---
