Accommodation: 1 bedroom, 1 double (sleeps 4)
The Byre Cornescorn is the perfect country cottage for a romantic getaway or as an annexe to neighbouring Shepherds Cottage. Cornescorn at the foot of the Glenesk in Angus Glens is steeped in history and has been settled since the 17th century. During the recent renovation works, a marriage lintel inscribed with "JC and AG 1746" was found and can now be seen above the wood burning stove in the sitting room. The recently refurbished self catering cottage has successfully combined modern style with traditional character and charm, and the open plan kitchen living room has a well equipped kitchen area with breakfast bar for dining, together with a comfortable seating area centred round the wood burning stove. A French door looks out to the beautiful Angus hills, ideal wandering out, coffee in hand, to take the morning air. The bedroom, which can be a super king double or twin, is stylish and comfortable and together with a modern bathroom makes this cottage the perfect rural retreat.
Situated at the foot of the Angus Glens, walkers will love the area, with walks ranging from gentle low level strolls to the more challenging Munros, ten in total including Dreish, Mayar and Mount Keen. Alternatively, head to the sea where beautiful sandy beaches and occasional outcrops of spectacular cliffs make the Angus coastline some of the most spectacular scenery along Scotland's eastern coast. For nature lovers, there is the RSPB Nature reserve at Loch of Kinnordy where migrant species provide interest all year round, from ospreys in the summer to Whooper swans in the winter, or visit the Montrose Basin where the Nature Reserve provides a perfect habitat for many species of bird. For golfers there are many top class courses in the area including the Championship course at Carnoustie and locally the wonderful Edzell course.
All on ground level:
Open plan kitchen living room with wood-burning stove and double futon, bedroom with ziplink super-king/twin bed, bathroom with shower over bath, WC and WHB.
