This detached cottage offers stunning views over the glen, and some seclusion for a peaceful break.. "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.

What an amazing location, just what we were looking for. Overall cottage and gardens in need of some TLC to bring to a higher standard of accommodation, probably not had much maintenance done on it for many years, which is a shame. Front doors definitely need attention along with the porch, wood rotten away and shrunk.
Very good

Excellent location and lovely secure fence for larger dogs if you have them . Bring an axe for the firewood as the wood provided is a bit big for the fireplace .
What a chilled holiday away from it all. Bring everything you need so you don’t need to go out for anything other than walks . The views across the fields are lovely .
Will be back .

Due to location a bit more cleaning stuff would have been useful. You can't just pop to the shop. Would also have preferred to have paid extra and had electricity included rather then trying to calculate. Logs provided were too big for wood burner and no axe!
Apart from these niggles, it was heaven on earth!
(Didn't see any fluffy cows either 😪)
Would love to come back!
