Positioned next to the river, this is the perfect property for those who enjoy fishing.. "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. Shop 9-10 miles.. 1 step to entrance.

We spent a week over Christmas, lovely location and scenery. Luckily we took our own towels as not provided you also have to pay for electricity you used at the end of the stay. We’re going back in the summer.

Urige Hütte inmitten der Natur, abseits von der Zivilisation
Wir haben eine Woche in "the old laundry" Urlaub gemacht. Die Lage ist idyllisch, direkt an einem Fluss gelegen und mitten in der Wildnis! Auf sechs Meilen gibt es keinen Handy- oder Internetempfang, man ist also von der Außenwelt abgeschnitten und kann ganz die Natur genießen. Leider waren beim Check-In keine Handtücher da, weshalb wir noch einmal bis Dykehead fahren mussten, um den Vermieter zu erreichen. Die Wohnung war im März sehr kalt und es hat lange gebraucht, bis der kleine Ofen heiß wurde. Man kann von Glennprosen aus in die umliegenden Glenns fahren und tolle Wanderungen unternehmen! Aber auch zu Fuß vom Ferienhaus einen Spaziergang wagen. Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen!
