Located 1 mile outside the village of Letham, and only 5 miles from the market town of Forfar, this tranquil accomadation is ideally set for family, sporting or business breaks. The cottage has a large Kitchen /Dining area which is crowned with a glass atrium and which is the heart of the property. There is a separate sitting room with TV as well as 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (2 shower, 1 bath/shower). The location is central for all of the other Angus towns, Arbroath, Montrose, Brechin, Carnoustie as well as Dundee, Perth, St Andrews and Aberdeen.
