Set within the majestic wilderness of the Glen Dye private estate, this beautiful home welcomes you to retreat into the heart of nature. Designed by Young Architects of the Year NORD in 2012, this semi-detached house honours its Victorian heritage whilst delivering a modern and stylish aesthetic. It feels luxurious here, but in a way that is natural and effortless. And just like the surrounding landscape, this is the kind of space that inspires a sense of calm and beauty. It’s the small details that matter here. Like waking up and savouring your morning coffee as you read by the fire, or preparing a lunch of hand–picked veggies from the garden. Wind your way along the woodland path and you’ll find your own private wood–fired tub – the perfect spot to soak in the natural elements. Days can be spent hiking, cycling, running, wild swimming or simply sitting and enjoying the powerful presence of the landscape. The estate is also home to a resident BYOB pub, wood-fired sauna and shop where you can find any cupboard staples you might need. After a day full of fresh air, light up the barbecue and enjoy the poetic beauty of this wilderness location.

About Angus

Ancient fishing villages and craggy mountains mark the borders of the pretty county of Angus. It spans from the East Coast to the Cairngorms National Park. Foodies shouldn’t miss supping on a traditional Arbroath smokie in the town it was named after – picked up from the fish shops on the harbourfront. In Arbroath you’ll also find an ancient, crumbling abbey and access to clifftop walks where the North Sea...

Host


This home is managed by Audrey

This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Back in 1990, your hosts Charlie and Caroline left their jobs in music and design and moved from South London to Glen Dye. This was a no-brainer as they'd always dreamed of living their lives in the countryside surrounded by children, dogs, chickens and horses. So after twenty years of scheming, dreaming and planning, the pair launched Glen Dye Cabins & Cottages, where they now invite guests to come and soak up the magic of Glen Dye at the many renovated properties on their estate..

This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
