A sustainable escape in the Angus countryside

Tucked away on a private 25-acre estate in rural Angus, Ward End is a lovingly restored one-bedroom cottage designed for rest, reconnection and rural charm. Ideal for couples or solo travellers, this peaceful hideaway blends comfort with sustainability—making it a perfect base for slow mornings, long walks and evenings by the fire.

The cottage is light-filled and thoughtfully furnished, featuring a stylish open-plan living space, underfloor heating and a log-burning stove to keep things cosy whatever the weather. A dedicated relaxation room with a freestanding bath offers the perfect spot to unwind.

🌿 Highlights include:

• 🔥 Underfloor heating & wood-burning stove
• 🛁 Relaxation room with feature bath, plus separate bathroom with shower
• 🌞 Powered by renewables: solar panels & air source heat pump
• 🐿️ Surrounded by wildlife—look out for red squirrels, garden birds & roe deer
• 🌼 Optional extras like Walled Garden produce picking or a dram in our Gate Lodge whisky room
• 🍳 Fully equipped kitchen and warm, open-plan living area

Guests enjoy full private access to Ward End. If you’d like to explore more of the estate, whether wandering woodland paths or enjoying our heritage spaces, just ask.

We’re based at the other end of the estate and happy to be as hands-off or hands-on as you prefer. Whether you’re looking for tips, firewood or just someone to point you in the right direction, we’re only ever a message away.

Ward End offers more than just a place to stay, it’s a slow, soul-soothing retreat where sustainability meets comfort, wildlife thrives, and every detail is designed to help you breathe a little deeper.
