This half-round property is set amidst trees in the grounds of the Bainaboth Estate, offering a peaceful retreat.. "Acres of peaceful and secluded countryside surround these magnificent cottages..."
At the heart of Glenprosen, one of the renowned ‘Glens of Angus’, lies the Balnaboth Estate on the edge of the Cairngorms National Park; 6,000 peaceful and secluded acres surrounding 16th-century Balnaboth House.
In its midst, these six characterful holiday cottages each offer a unique and magical holiday retreat; indeed the creator of Peter Pan himself (Sir James Barrie) was born in nearby Kirriemuir and holidayed here. These cottages were once occupied by shepherds, gardeners or other staff of the Ogilvy family when this was a traditional Victorian sporting estate.
Red squirrels play in the trees, otters frequent the burns, and deer graze all around.
Because of the varied scenery, that varies from beech woods to forest, pasture to heather moor, mountain streams to river pools, the area enjoys a spectacular range of wildlife, including species largely extinct elsewhere in Britain, such as black game and ptarmigan. Magnificent walking, bird-watching, mountain biking and (in season) cross-country skiing abound on the estate and, further afield, downhill skiing at Glen Shee (25 miles).
Fishing is available on a 5-mile stretch of the River Prosen, and there are twenty golf courses within an hours’ drive. Enjoy the seclusion of this beautiful glen - peaceful, relaxing, scenic - yet just a few minutes’ drive from bustling market towns and busy fishing harbours which hug the Angus coastline, as well as from the city of Dundee which offers many attractions for all the family.
The exciting Dundee Contemporary Arts is a stunningly-designed centre which incorporates galleries, a print studio and two art-cinema screens, while the Mills Observatory is Britain’s only full-time public observatory with a resident astronomer. Good road, rail and air access to Angus provide easy access from all parts of the UK or international destinations.

The location was lovely, plenty of walking if weather had been better. I don’t think we would return though as my husband began to worry about the lack of phone in case of emergency at 80 years of age . For younger folk superb. Power cut on our second day we could find no candles or lighting fortunately the power did come on before dusk.

Lived up to it's name. We knew what to expect from the start. Just what we needed. No internet no TV. Pet friendly.Everything provided was clean.We would recommend if you go take plenty provisions as no amenities in close proximity. Lovely walks, beautiful views, plenty wildlife on your doorstep. 💯 going to return

We didn't realise we had to pay for the electricity we used. This really should have been included in the price.Also, could benefit with s fresh coat of paint.Apart from that, we had a lovely peacefull week. The grounds are simply stunning.
