Wonderful vacation in Monikie

We had a fantastic 2-week holiday in the wonderful, spacious and very clean cottage. It is beautiful and lonely in the middle of a small forest. A car is absolutely necessary, then you can go on the most wonderful trips to the sea, to the cities and also to the Highlands.

Amazing stay

Our stay was great and the house is lovely, cosy and with a lot of space. It was nice to be in the nature with deers around and without traffic. The owners were very nice and helpful. We got a flat tyre on the way and they offered us support and drove us to the supermarket. They gave us tips for activities. There are a lot of nice places to visit in short distance. We enjoyed the house and stay very much and would love to come again sometime.

Beautiful, peaceful stay

Had a wonderful week at this secluded cottage, surrounded by trees and nature. Arrived to find the cottage immaculately clean, with a lovely welcome pack of food which included homemade jam, and the log fire lit - such a lovely touch. We spent the week exploring the area and watching the wildlife in the garden - we were regularly visited by deer, as well as woodpeckers, jays and voles. Would thoroughly recommend and will be back.

Fantastic

We have just returned from a weeks holiday in this wonderful cottage. The owners made our family feel very welcome. We had a lovely welcome pack full of goodies waiting for us when we arrived and Sharron popped down to make sure we had settled in ok and recommended places to visit. Lunan beach is a must, we visited around sunset and it was just beautiful! Thank you for a great stay, we would love to return in the future.

A real relaxing getaway

We spent a wonderful Christmas at monument cottage. It had everything we needed and a lovely surprise welcome package and card. Sharon and Dave could not have been nicer or more welcoming. We enjoyed walks in the surrounding wood, our dog had the time of her life. It is close to the beach and we spent Christmas eve walking on the beach watching the sun go down. Having never been away from home at Christmas we were a little apprehensive but it was a perfect place to stay and we hope to return.

Lovely cottage in ideal location for us. Arrived to a warm cottage with fire lit a welcome box of goodies and a welcome letter. Owners were great during stay for suggestions of places to eat visit and restocking firewood when needed. We were lucky with the weather too so had a wonderful break.

Beyond our expectations!

Beyond our expectations! A wonderful week at the beautiful Monument Cottage, and it couldn’t have been better in any way. We arrived from the states with no luggage, and Sharon , our wonderful host, became the point person dealing with the luggage delivery service. Help in this matter allowed us to explore the beautiful areas around the cottage, always looking forward to returning to our cozy home and our wood- burning stove. Our kitchen was well-appointed, and we so appreciated the welcome basket that greeted us upon our arrival. Everything was perfect and we truly hated to leave.

Great cottage in a beautiful area.

We had a fabulous ten days at Monument Cottage. It was great for my in-laws in their 80s, with the downstairs bed and bath, and the whole cottage was immaculate. We found so many things to visit in the area, going as far as Edinburgh and Pitlochry for day trips. Would love to return.

Wonderful stay in a immaculate property

Monument Cottage is located in a wood in a secluded spot close to Monikie. Nice walks, peace and quiet, with plenty of wildlife close by is a plus, but this property is also close to whatever you might want in the area. The cottage contains all the modern amenities and Sharon stocks a great welcome basket to get you going. The only negative was we had to leave, we felt so at home! Wifi worked well, and google maps brings you right to the door.

Why they chose this property

We have lived in the area for over 30 years and bought our beautiful 88 acres, when the original Panmure Estate was sold in 2002. It is a stunning location,with a constantly changing pattern - a secluded location, yet only 5 mins from the beach and golf course at Carnoustie.
Guests at the cottage enjoy the peace & freedom to roam the area, beautiful beaches and variety of places to see and activities for all.
