We are situated in the historic coastal town of Arbroath which is on the East coast mainline to London and has convenient links to the rest of Scotland. We are surrounded by spectacular scenery, countryside and villages in the Angus area which produces an abundance of berries in the bright summer months.
There are fabulous beaches and a marina nearby with sailing clubs, kayaking, paddle boarding and fishing along with hill walking in the glens and skiing, nearby. We have lots of historic buildings in the area including our own Arbroath Abbey where the Declaration of Independence was signed.
