Marchburn Cottage

Marchburn Cottage | self catering | sleeps 4

Marchburn, is situated in Glen Clova one of the Angus Glens on the edge of the Cairngorms, now a designated National Park. Only an hour from the East Coast, southwest of Aberdeen and north of Edinburgh and Dundee.
Marchburn is a traditional country cottage, nestling in the heart of Glen Clova, one of the most beautiful Glens in Angus. Set in an acre and a half of our own grounds with the March ‘burn’ bordering the northern boundary.

The cottage was originally built as a roadsmens cottage, to house the men building the road around the glen and looks very much like a crofters cottage.

The open plan living area, brand new for 2010 has an excellently equipped handmade kitchen. A Victorian Oak dining room table for dining and cosy sofas to slump in front of the woodburner after a day on the hills.

The owners Paul and Melanie use Marchburn as their family holiday home and have taken great pride in the interior décor. The kitchen is made by Pauls own carpentry company. Melanie has used the Scottish theme for the interiors with tartan soft furnishings and other Scottish related items that give it a home from home touch.

Enjoy the supplied shortbread with a cuppa on arrival and later indulge in the bottle of wine we leave for you to get your holiday started.

The French windows look out down the glen towards the South Esk River just 300yrds away, and at the great variety of birds feeding on the table. You can access the terrace from the french windows for alfresco eating beneath the pergola when the sun shines!!!

The bathrooms are decked with delights from the Highland Soap Company for guests to indulge in.

The kitchen is well equipped with every requirement. The cottage has full central heating and has a woodburner for added warmth and atmosphere.
The porch with all its shelves gives plenty of storage for all those walking boots and equipment and for dogs to dry off. The garden is fully enclosed and dog proof.

The location of the cottage means many of our guests like to bring their dogs, which we do allow a maximum of 2, but ask you to respect our home and the wildlife around the cottage and to clear up after them in the garden.

The cottage is equipped with :-
Sky TV, DVD player, CD player, electric blankets, radio alarm clocks, hairdryers, heated towel rails, woodburner, full central heating, Terrace with garden furniture, telephone, one shower, one bath with shower over, clothes washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, electric cooker, fridge/freezer, coffee machine, food processor, dog towels and biscuits. All linen, towels, electricity, oil and logs for the fire is included in the price.
