Furnished with care to maximise the light, inside this single-storey property there are full length picture windows in the bright living room and a well-equipped kitchen. The extensive garden with mature trees and expanse of lawn, is a wonderful sun trap to enjoy after a brisk walk along the beautiful sandy beach.
St Cyrus beach is nestled at the bottom of the cliff, which is accessed either by a steep walk from the local church just a few hundred yards away, or for the less adventurous, there is an easy drive down to the beach on the outskirts of the village at the nature reserve. A walk along the shoreline offers a good chance of spotting porpoises and other marine life in the clear waters. The spectacular cliffs and dunes are a National Nature Reserve and home to a variety of wildlife - peregrine falcons and fulmars are often spotted, as well as divers and other sea birds. Deer inhabit the wooded area at the top, and rare butterflies and plants can be found throughout the reserve. The owner has thoughtfully provided binoculars for your enjoyment. St Cyrus is between Montrose and Stonehaven, both bustling seaside towns with golf courses, shops and leisure centres, whilst inland the Angus Glens are easily reached for some excellent walks and spectacular scenery. Fishing is also available locally. Beach 300 yards. Shop, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

An excellent location at the end of a private track with views over the sea and neighbouring farmland. Close to the village, with a useful Morrison's local. An excellent spot to explore the expansive sandy beaches and working fishing harbours of the east coast and the mountain scenery of the Cairngorms. Good bus links to take in the towns and villages between Aberdeen and Arbroth. Although a short distance from the beach, the path down to it traverses a cliff and is narrow and steep in places. Although the pub was closed, it has now been purchased and is in the process of being refurbished.

Für Naturliebhaber und Ruhe suchende wie wir, ist das Haus ein Traum. Wir haben uns in dem behagliche Heim sehr wohl gefühlt. Einen herzlichen Dank auch an Emma und Joe für das Welcome Basket und die Betreuung bei Fragen vor Ort. Wichtig waren uns auch die Nähe zu den Trails und Zugang zum endlos langen Sandstrand. Wir werden das Haus auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.
