A beautiful base from which to explore the delights of Montrose, South Stables can be found resting in the former stable block of the National Trust for Scotland’s House of Dun. A historic first floor apartment, exuding character and charm throughout an eclectic mix of classic and contemporary features, this property is beautifully refurbished and offers a memorable retreat for four to this enchanting area of Scotland. Venture across the sandstone courtyard and up the stone steps to find two welcoming twin bedrooms, both elegant with classic furnishings throughout, offering a lovely resting space for each guest. Settle in for a quiet evening in the living/dining room, setting up the table to host your lovingly prepared meals, or choose to use this space as a games area before unwinding into your evening in the plush seating area. Homemade meals can be prepared with ease in the kitchen, which is equipped with all the necessary appliances, along with the addition of a washing machine and dishwasher. At the end of each evening, retire to one of the twin rooms, decorated with pretty furnishings and offering lots of storage space for your belongings. Step into the spacious walk-in shower for an invigorating morning rinse, using this space to freshen before an action-packed day of adventure. Explore the surrounding gardens and estate with your canine companions, where you'll find magical woodlands, rare wildlife, and a welcoming café within the grounds. Relish a trip of a lifetime at the outstanding South Stables apartment. This property can also be booked alongside Ref. 1060505, together sleeping up to eight guests.
