The cabin is located ten minutes from the coast where you will find Lunan Bay one of the most beautiful beaches in Scotland, popular with surfers, horse riders and a great place for pet owners to exercise dogs. Montrose Basin home to thousands of migratory birds including pink-footed geese, common terns, knots and sedge warblers.
Also St Cyrus beach, a nature reserve renowned for its grasslands, rare flowers and butterflies. Cairngorms National Park is approximately 40 miles from the Lodge with beautiful mountains, forest paths, rivers, lochs, wildlife hotspots, a perfect day out. The Angus Glens is great for walking where you will see some amazing views, an abundance of wildlife and get a taste of rural Angus.
For those that like castles and gardens there is Glamis, Crathes and Dunnotar castle, also the famous Balmoral castle a little further away. Langley Park gardens, Dunnaid Castle gardens and Lady Augusta Erskine's walk at House of Dun.
The popular coastal town of Stonehaven is a 20 minute drive packed with many sea food restaurants and of course famous for the fire balls at New Year, a trip to Auntie Betty's is a must for an ice cream. Montrose is a ten minute drive where you will find many shops, supermarkets cafes a post office and chemist.
There is a lovely bistro farm shop a mile away at Balmakewan for a nice lunch and delicious home bakes. Do visit our local pub just a short walk from the cabin, a former coaching Inn built in the 1800's with a beer garden serving food daily and pet friendly too. If you feel like a cozy night in after a day exploring why not order a take away and they will deliver for a small charge.
There is so much to see and do around this beautiful part of Scotland, you won't want to leave.
We look forward to meeting you and will give a warm welcome when you arrive at our holiday home.

“Would not recommend”
Unfortunately, we did not have an enjoyable stay at Rowanlea Lodge. The host, Lorna, will do anything she can to keep your security deposit, so beware of this when booking! We were accused of damaging… More

Response from the owner Dear Sarah Thank you for taking the time to review Rowanlea Lodge. I'm disappointed to hear you felt the property wasn't suitable for your short stay and you wouldn't recommend to others. When you booked the property there were 2 adults and 1 pet on the booking details. During your stay there were 3 dogs and a total of 8 adults. You had no respect for the property and didn't abide by our house rules which are clearly stated on the booking platform and in the welcome pack. .Additional charges apply per guest if accommodating more than 4 adults. Our Insurance only covers a maximum of 6 guests and 1 infant at any given time. There were several items damaged during your stay and part of the security deposit was used to replenish these items. The remaining balance was returned to you. Well behaved pets are welcome but are not permitted in bedrooms or on any furniture. There is plenty of space in the secure fenced gardens surrounding the property for dogs to explore, the kitchen and living room area is natural slate flooring where dogs are also welcome. Rowanlea Lodge was designed with great care and attention to detail to provide a luxury Log cabin experience with many additional facilities, this is apparent in the 5 star reviews I have received over the past 8 years since we opened in 2016. Again I'm sorry your stay wasn't enjoyable and I hope you find somewhere more suitable for your next family holiday.
