Had a great time in this lovely home. So clean and tidy. Everything was prefect. The host had thought of everything as well as a nice welcome hamper. Edzell is a lovely place to stay and we were lucky enough to visit when a gala was on. Will be a place I’ll go back to in the future.

Lynda was a wonderful and very helpful host. The cottage was so clean and well cared for that it looked like we were one of her first guests (though we know we were not). I have never stayed in an accommodation which was any cleaner or well cared for. Welcome basket, available picnic supplies (reusable plastic tumblers, plates and utensils), and helpful instructions for use of kitchen appliances and heating system were some of the unexpected pluses. Quiet location in a small village. Highly recommended.

Immaculate holiday let in quiet village

Lovely little 2 bed cottage in quiet rural village of Edzell. Faultless cleanliness, with everything you could need provided by the owner. Some nice walks in the village and surrounding area, with a nice village pub, a couple of eateries and village shops and a lovely butchers. Recommended for a quiet, mobile free (no signal!) break.

Edzell getaway

The decor had a Scandinavian vibe which we loved as our mum was Norwegian! Every small detail had been thought of by our excellent host, Lynda. She was super helpful and made some fun recommendations. Truly a home away from home. After five minutes, we were ready to move in! Edzell was an excellent base from which to explore the surrounding regions in Angus and beyond.

Visit to family in Brechin!

Me and my 3 kids came to Brechin to visit family. Lynda’s cottage, Number One, is fantastic! I honestly can’t fault it at all. From the lovely welcome basket with locally freshly made goodies, a nice card and Easter egg for the kids, very comfy beds, folders with info of the surrounding area and the cottage, to communications from Lynda before, during and after our stay, I just have to say we’ll definitely be booking up again. I also took some business cards to give to my dad to hand out to his other visitors as he gets plenty. 5 stars all round!

A Very Rewarding Experience

Our stay was excellent in all respects. Lynda's communications were good and we found the cottage spacious, very well fitted out; beautifully decorated and ABSOLUTELY clean. The welcome basket was very generous and the provisions such as hand soap luxurious. The cottage contained everything that one could want and more. We recommend no.1 Union Steet very highly and would not hesitate to stay again. Edzell is a great little town. The location is excellent for exploring the Angus Glens, Stonehaven/ Dunnottar castle, and Kirriemuir. The outstanding Walk to the Rocks of Solitude (The Blue Door Walk) is on the doorstep - not to be missed.

Lovely village cottage

Do not hesitate, Book now ! This is a gorgeous spotless little village cottage (plenty of room for 4), just a perfect home from home and so cosy and comfy. Its a terrific base for exploring the East Coast. The Panmure Arms is the local hotel/pub which is two minutes across the road from the cottage and this along with Sinclairs Bistro do lovely food if you don't want to travel far. There is also a Fish n Chip shop and a local Spar and a little local newsagents too. If you want to travel for something to eat I highly recommend the Anchor Inn at Johnshaven, the food was delicious. This was probably the best equipped cottage we have ever stayed in and Linda left us a beautiful generous welcome pack for our arrival, which was truly appreciated. I would absolutely recommend this little treasure of a cottage.

A wonderful property & location

Everything was wonderful with our stay. Comfortable beds, fresh smelling linen & fluffy towels, generous welcome basket, incredibly clean & well equipped home. The chess board was a hit with my boys & they taught me how to play! Lynda is a kind & thoughtful hostess & is very helpful & great at communicating. The location is great with a brilliant play park 5 mins walk, Edzell Castle within a short walk (although currently closed for renovations), & a lovely pub & coffee shop with fresh bread round the corner. Easy to park outside the house, cute private garden. An easy drive to the coast & to some beautiful nature areas (woods, rivers etc). 10 mins to Lidl supermarket & Tesco about 20mins drive. All in all, we'd highly recommend this rental property. Thank you Lynda, for a great stay.

Cottage mit Wohlfühlcharakter

Das Cottage befindet sich in einer ruhigen Seitenstraße. Parkplatz kein Problem, 2 Minuten fußläufig Restaurant. Das Haus ist außerordentlich sauber und sehr gut ausgestattet. In der Küche fehlt es an nichts.Sehr bequeme Betten, großzügige Dusche, phantastische Handseife und Bodylotion, gemütliches Wohnzimmer, sogar ein kleiner Außenbereich.Zum Willkommen ein wunderbarer Korb mit Spezialitäten und einer Flasche Wein.Lynda war immer ereichbar und hilfreich. Guter Ausgangspunkt für Wanderung am North Esk ( wir sahen Lachse springen!), Küstenwanderungen und diverse Schlösser.EIne ganz klare Empfehlung ohne jede Einschränkung!
