Large, enclosed lawned garden with sitting-out area, garden furniture and BBQ. Bike store. Private parking for 3 cars. No smoking.. This charming detached cottage is set in an elevated position with panoramic views from the grounds towards the sea at St Cyrus. A steep meandering walk down the hill to the beautiful beach starts from the cottage, and there are fine views over the bay towards Montrose Basin as you go down. The cottage is in a secluded position yet next to two other properties and has its own private, enclosed rear garden. The cottage is bright, fresh and welcoming with a wonderful living room with vaulted ceiling and beams where you can relax in front of the wood burner after an energetic day out.
St Cyrus’ beach is a renowned conservation area and visitors will love the wide sandy spaces, rock pools at one end and the opportunity to spot whales, dolphins, seals and otters which frequent the clear waters. Ornithologists are also well catered for, with the nearby Montrose Basin home to thousands of pink footed geese in winter as well as many other wading birds and seasonal visitors throughout the year.
Montrose itself has plenty of facilities including two golf courses, tennis and bowls, as well as being the venue for Mofest, an annual music festival which attracts big names as well as lesser known acts. Dundee is within easy reach for the culturally minded and a visit to the V&A Museum is a must, as well as the RRS Discovery or a trip to the theatre. Beach ½ mile. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.
Suitable for up to 2 pets

The cottage was in a beautiful spot, it was warm and comfortable and great for dogs with a large heated boot room and a separate utility room. The views down to the sea from my dog walks were truly amazing as was St Cyrus beach at the bottom of the hill. I think the vest thing about the cottage was the living space - I have been to many “6 person” cottages where seating 4 to watch TV was a struggle. The living room was huge ! And then there was a separate TV room….. We were very comfortable and happy there as were our 2 terriers

We had a wonderful week staying at Straton Cottage. We were blessed with Snow during our stay. The cottage has excellent quality furnishings, super comfy beds and pillows and superbly equipped. The host Fran was very pleasant and super efficient in communicating with us. The lovely beach is a steep but short walk away... You can drive down normally but it was icy so we tended to walk. I would highly recommend this cottage. There was 4 of us staying and I think even with 6 it would still feel really spacious.
