We loved our stay! The area was very quiet, and the patio was lovely — perfect for relaxing. This was the best-equipped kitchen we’ve ever had in a rental, which made cooking a breeze. The host was also extremely responsive when we had a minor...

Lots of space for 5 adults, a toddler and a dog. Very well appointed. Lovely outdoor patio to enjoy the sunshine we were lucky to get.

Everything the property is amazing and so well equipped we wanted for nothing. The Christmas decorations were beautiful too. Gillian was fantastic and so helpful I think I’ve found a new Xmas tradition. Can’t wait to go back.

The accommodation is suitable for couples, groups, families, looking for a rural location, yet minutes away from all the area has to offer. The accommodation is all on the one level, allowing easy access for those less able. Nearest pub/restaurant and shops are 1 mile away. Westwood Cottage, a spacious, beautiful home, accommodation with three bedrooms (1 king with ensuite, 2 doubles), large well equipped dining kitchen, with an antique dining table, perfect for socialising. The comfortable livingroom with wood burner, is an ideal room to relax in after a day of hill-walking in the nearby Glens, day out to Edinburgh or visiting the V&A in Dundee. The 3 comfortable bedrooms, will ensure a good nights sleep. The large bathroom, with over-the-bath shower, provides facilities for guests in double bedrooms 2 & 3.

Please note: Maximum of 2 well-behaved dogs are welcome at the property (1 large or 2 small-med) - charges and Terms and Conditions apply The city of Dundee (UNESCO city of design) offers arts & culture in abundance, family friendly attractions and all that you would expect from a city of its stature – museums, theatres and shopping. Dundee was named number 5 in "The 10 hot destinations" named by The Wall Street Journal. With the opening of the V&A Museum in September 2018 at the Waterfront and Captain Scott's ship "Discovery" moored next to the museum, take in the stories of old and new when exploring GQ Magazines "coolest little city in Britain". Golf, fishing, cycling and walking are all popular activities in this fantastic part of Scotland.
We live and work from home in Aberdeen, Scotland and have 2 grown up sons. Bud and Izzy - our doodles, also live with us and frequently comes with us to the cottage. We spend a large degree of our time travelling to Dundee for work and visiting family. We love the city and surrounding areas and the activities on offer. With the V&A Museum and refurbishment of the waterfront area, there is a real buzz around Dundee. The restaurants are really coming into their own and the different cuisines on offer, provide exceptional variations in choice.
The cottage is situated in a beautiful Victorian estate, in the Countryside, yet minutes from Dundee and all the area has to offer. The area (Dundee): Situated on the Tay Estuary, Dundee is Scotland's sunniest city. The city has plenty of places to see and visit, whether you are looking for a family day out, visit one of the annual events, or want to learn more about the city's history, with its monuments and landmarks, its maritime heritage, the arrival of jute or the city's new scientific and design excellence. The V&A Museum of Design is a centre for design adds further acclaim to the citys culture portfolio. RRS Discovery is moored at Discovery Point in Dundee (next to the V&A) and open for visitor tours. Built in the city in 1900, RRS Discovery was the ship, which carried Captain Scott on his first expedition across the Antarctic. There is no better way to see the city and its wildlife than taking a trip along the famous River Tay. Numerous tour operators offer trips from March to September. Bottlenose dolphins and seals are regular visitors to the estuary. The beaches and fishing villages of Fife and the North East are within an easy reaching distance, with Edinburgh a 50 minutes drive for a day trip. Golf, fishing, cycling and walking are all popular activities in this fantastic part of Scotland.
