Great House, Great Location

We absolutely loved staying at "the castle" as my daughter called it. The house was so beautiful both historical and modern. Completely comfortable to stay in. Magical back garden and perfect location. We love Broughty Ferry but this house made it that much more special.

Unique property in the heart of Broughty Ferry

We loved this property. So unique with all the comforts of home. Very close to all the amenities and some exercise going up the hill with shopping bags! Sarah was very accommodating and easy to work with. We would be happy to stay here again.

Lovely home in a great location

We really enjoyed our stay over Hogmanay and New Year in Broughty Ferry. The house is beautifully renovated and in a great location. Very tastefully decorated, cozy, clean and well equipped with plenty space for the 4 of us (2 couples). . Broughty Ferry is a lovely wee town with lots of cafe’s, independant shops, pubs and restaurants plus great walks along the side of the Tay. Sarah the host is very accessible and responded to messages really quickly. Thank you for having us.

Lovey House in the Lovely Broughty Ferry

Vintage property nicely decorated, comfortable lounge and easy walk to the train station, and town. Was a little surprised to find that though there was a SKY handset, there were only free to view channels, and no SKY channels, and although there was a wall bracket and TV arial in the master bedroom, there was no second TV. The view from the second bedroom is actually of a turret rather that down into town. We enjoyed our stay, and we recommend the property, but if the word Luxury appears in the description of a property, there are certain expectations, and we felt that a number of these expectations were not met.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 October 2020
Thank you for your response Janet. I am glad you liked the house and would recommend it. The house has Freesat TV at the moment. The view from the second bedroom is downtown as well the turret. I hope we met your expectations by providing the additional items you needed each time you requested them. Once again glad you had a good time though and enjoyed the house and the town. Many thanks.

Beautiful home

What a beautiful home, so modern and yet so much character. Absolutely everything you need for a home from home break. The location is perfect and easy walk to any amenities in Broughty Ferry and also has that remote feeling if you wish just just absorb the atmosphere of the home. Sarah was very friendly and made check in easy, the home was spotless, which was reassuring during the pandemic, on arrival and an added touch of a welcome basket. Highly recommend, absolutely no cons what-so-ever.

Modern Conveniences, Great Location

This distinguished looking property is very conveniently located, a short and easy drive or train from many central Scotland attractions . The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The 2 bedroom home is newly renovated in a modern style with all the comforts one could expect. Beds were comfortable, and the internet connection was good.

This is a wonderful place to stay. It is a mix of modern and old all perfectly blended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place was spotless, and welcoming. The location is just a short walk to the town and easily walkable to the beach. The owners were very accommodating and even found my son’s stuffed toy that he forgot, and offered to send on to us. Highly recommended.

Stunning Property in Great Location

Thoroughly enjoyable stay in this superbly modernised and extended lodge that retains period features. Very comfortable accommodation that was unexpectedly spacious with well equipped kitchen and lovely garden area. Broughty Ferry is an ideal place for a short break with plenty of good pubs, restaurants and independent shops (the lodge is two minutes from the main street and five from the seafront. If you want to venture further afield then there is much to see and do. Excellent break

Absolutely Perfect! Couldnt have found a lovelier home.

The house is really a small castle, so that was awesome. It is a very old building with a lot of history in the town of Broughty Ferry, Dundee. I loved it! It is a short walk down the hill to the train, town with its lovely restaurants and shops and the cozy beach/pier walk on the River Tay. I had the double bed and it was very snuggly, loved my little room. My friends truly enjoyed the master bedroom and its garden view. The house has everything you would need and more for daily needs. I would love to come back with my hubby someday! Thank you so much for having us Sarah,
