Glenskinno - The Shepherd’s Hut

Couples and solo travellers seeking a countryside retreat will find Glenskinno – The Shepherd's Hut suits them well. This single-bedroom hut sleeps two and comes with its own hot tub and fire pit, set on private grounds next to (but separate from) a neighbouring property. One small pet can stay free. The hut is yours alone, with parking for one car and step-free access at ground level.

Inside, a combined living and kitchen space has a smart TV, electric cooking, and a breakfast bar. The bedroom holds a double bed with Freeview, Apple TV and Netflix. A shower room with cubicle and toilet completes the layout. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are all covered, plus there's a welcome pack on arrival. You'll need to bring your own wood for the fire pit.

Montrose itself lies four miles away, with a shop and restaurant within two miles and a pub at two and a half. The coast is three miles off – sandy beaches at Lunan Bay and St Cyrus suit bracing walks, while Montrose Basin is a noted wildlife reserve where pink-footed geese gather in winter. Inland, the Angus Glens offer walking trails leading into the Grampian foothills. Dundee and Aberdeen are roughly equidistant for days exploring cities. No smoking is permitted.
