Blue Skies Cottage in Arbroath offers a cosy and comfortable stay with efficient heating, a well-maintained garden, and a thoughtful welcome pack. Guests appreciate the property's quiet location, proximity to the beach, and the overall quality of the furnishings. While some guests mention minor issues with maintenance and facilities, the cottage's charm and the attention to detail in providing a welcoming experience are frequently praised.

Cleanliness

The cottage is generally well-received for cleanliness, with guests noting it as spotless and cosy. However, some guests have pointed out areas that could benefit from a deeper clean, such as cobwebs and dead flies near the back door, suggesting room for improvement.

Location

The location is highly praised for its quietness, beautiful surroundings, and proximity to the beach and local attractions. The scenic views and opportunities for walks and exploration contribute to a positive experience.

Comfort

Guests find the beds comfortable and the cottage spacious, with a few comments on the need for more comfortable seating. The presence of a noisy boiler in one of the bedrooms has been mentioned, but overall, the comfort level is regarded as satisfactory.

Facilities

Facilities are generally good, with WiFi, a large TV, and a well-equipped kitchen. However, some guests have reported issues such as a cramped shower, difficulty finding WiFi passwords, and a need for more kitchen utensils, suggesting that while adequate, the facilities could be enhanced.

Thoughtfulness

The thoughtfulness of the hosts is evident in the welcome packs and extra items provided, which guests find delightful. It is noted, however, that such gifts are a kind gesture and not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

Abroath 4.1 miles. This welcoming, semi-detached bungalow rests in the fishing village of Auchmithie, close to the amenities of Abroath, on the picturesque Angus coast. Blue Skies Cottage can accommodate for up to five guests and is a charming holiday base for exploring this scenic part of Scotland. Step through the front door into the entrance hallway and pop off your walking boots and jackets before finding the sitting room. Here you can lounge on the sofa whilst the woodburning stove heats up those cold feet, while the chef of the group can take to the kitchen to prepare a well-deserved feast. There are two bedrooms at this Auchmithie cottage, including a king-size double and a family room with double and single bed. Completing the interior is the shower room with walk-in shower, basin and WC. The village stands above 120ft cliffs, which provides an elevated viewpoint over the North Sea, while below there is a pebble beach, an old and partly derelict harbour and some fascinating rock architecture. There is superb walking and cycling along the coastal routes with superb views accompanying you, as well as the wide range of wildlife. Take a 20 minute car drive to the stunning sandy beach at Lunan, a favourite with surfers and horse riders, there is a medieval castle and a cave to explore here. Head into Arbroath and stroll along the sandy beaches as the taste of salty sea fills the aroma before dining at one of the first-class restaurants, including the The Old Boatyard restaurant which serves a delicious fresh seafood menu. History buffs will love exploring the imposing Guthrie Castle, set in landscaped grounds and dating back to the 15th century, it provides a great opportunity to learn about the local heritage. Further afield lies the bustling coastal city of Dundee, which benefits from access to a large number of art galleries and museums detailing Scotland's heritage. Blue Skies Cottage is a lovely choice for a family or couple seeking a retreat to Scotland’s east coast.

Arbroath lies 15 northeast of Dundee on Scotland’s Angus coastline. The town is famous for its long sandy beaches and stunning sandstone cliffs that stretch out to either side of the town. Within the town there is also a number of shops, pubs, restaurants and cafés, as well as some fascinating buildings such as the Arbroath Abbey and Arbroath Smokie, both well worth a visit. Coastal walks and cycling can be enjoyed from the town and there are a few golf courses nearby.
