Situated in the ancient Vale of Strathmore, which divides the Grampian Mountains from the Sidlaw Hills, the traditional red sandstone row of Littleton of Airlie cottages, are approached through a quiet, working farmyard; a lost 19th century agricultural idyll. The cottages sit amid a sensational walled cottage garden.
The Cottages:
Sleep two with double or twin bedroom.
Sitting/dining room with table and chairs and comfortable seating
Bathroom with bath & overhead shower.
Kitchen with electric hob & oven, microwave, fridge & washer/dryer.
Heating by electric storage heaters (white meter) & wood burning stove.

Shared walled garden with garden furniture for each cottage.
Baby & dog sitting services available.

Guests can order a delicious home cooked meal, made with local produce. This must be booked in advance. Please see a sample menu on our website.
Golfers can tee off from any of the five renowned 18 hole golf courses, all within a 10 mile radius: Rosemount, Alyth, Strathmore, Glenisla and Kirriemuir.
With ne'er a clogged road in sight, in half an hour you can be beach combing along sweeps of white sand, shopping, castle gazing, walking or just absorbing the clean, clear air and nearby mountains.
An easy drive away is fishing, hill walking in the Angus Glens and skiing at nearby Glenshee. Theatres, art galleries, tall ships, ancient, mystical Pictish stones, busy harbours are half an hour away at Dundee, Perth or Pitlochry. Edinburgh, Balmoral and the Trossachs are easily accessible for a day trip.
Almost visible on tiptoes from the cottages are the fairytale turrets of Glamis Castle, childhood home of the late Queen Mother, with its resident ghosts and close association with Macbeth, just four miles away.
