FerryView Cottage - Breath Taking Vista

About the Property

Set within one of Broughty Ferry’s historic hillside neighbourhoods, this charming cottage enjoys a peaceful setting with sweeping views across the village and the River Tay. From the elevated position, you can take in the character of this coastal area, including views towards Broughty Castle and across to Tentsmuir Forest in Fife.

Despite its quiet location, the cottage is just a short five minute walk from the centre of Broughty Ferry, a much loved seaside suburb located four miles east of Dundee. Here you will find a relaxed coastal atmosphere, with a good mix of independent cafes, restaurants, pubs, and local shops. The sandy beach and harbour are also close by, offering scenic walks and the chance to spot dolphins along the shoreline.

Living Space and Bedrooms

The cottage is light and welcoming throughout, with a bright open lounge that makes the most of the surrounding views. Large glass patio doors lead out onto a modern balcony, creating a lovely space to sit and take in the scenery.

There are two comfortable double bedrooms, each with double beds and generous mirrored wardrobe space, offering a practical and relaxing base for your stay.

Kitchen and Dining

The kitchen is modern and well equipped, providing everything needed for preparing meals during your stay. Whether you are planning a quiet night in or a relaxed breakfast before heading out, the space is designed to be both functional and easy to use.

Outdoor Space

Outside, the property continues to impress with a private garden area. A raised deck offers outdoor seating and dining, ideal for enjoying the views in warmer weather. There is also a summerhouse, adding an extra space to unwind, along with a barbecue for casual outdoor meals.

Location

Broughty Ferry is known for its strong sense of community and coastal charm. The main streets are home to a variety of independent shops, galleries, and eateries, all within easy walking distance of the cottage.

The nearby beach stretches for miles and is popular with walkers, families, and wildlife enthusiasts. Broughty Castle, dating back to the 15th century, sits proudly by the shore and now houses a small museum exploring the area’s history.

For those looking to explore further, Dundee offers a range of cultural attractions, including the V and A Museum, while the renowned golf courses at Carnoustie and St Andrews are within easy reach.

Beautiful cottage in a gorgeous, quiet location. There was actually space for another couple. Bit further from central Dundee than expected, but probably better for it. Not staffed, and no 24hr contact, so potentially problematic if anything went wrong, but that's splitting hairs.

Property was clean and warm on arrival .

The communication wasn’t as smooth as with other properties I have used on this website. The off street parking doesn’t accommodate a standard family suv although you can park on the street . As we did . Would use again if in the vicinity as it was clean and warm on arrival.

Late summer Scottish break

The booking and check in process and ongoing support for the property was straightforward. Amanda, from the management company was readily available to deal with any queries or issues we might have had. It is hard to find fault with the interior of the property which met all our expectations above and beyond, and a couple of minor issues were dealt with swiftly by the management company. Indeed, the property appeared to have had a recent makeover, and all the facilities made for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Sadly, the exterior of the property let things down. It is situated in what feels like someone else’s garden, with inches separating you from a neighbouring house, with no privacy or screening to stop views into each other’s properties, although fortunately the residents were rarely to be seen. It was therefore difficult to enjoy the balcony at the front of the property, which ironically provided the best views, without feeling you were impinging on someone’s else’s privacy. Fortunately, the decked area made up for this as it provided a secluded area for sitting when the weather was suitable. Similarly, the ‘garden’ of the property is in fact only a gravelled area, and not green space as you we first thought, and which upon our arrival was desperately in need of a good weed and general tidy up. The unemptied smelling bins did nothing also to provide the sort of welcome you would expect. Be advised that the advertised parking space is in fact very difficult to access for an average sized family car, unless you are a highly skilled and experienced driver and/or drive a smallish vehicle with an automatic gear box. We were not aware the property is situated on a very steep hill making it extremely difficult to access the parking space due to the angle of the entrance, although fortunately there was plenty of safe on street parking nearby. It would also be helpful to better describe the overall location especially for those with mobility issues. Overall, despite the disappointment above, this did little to distract from what was otherwise an exceedingly enjoyable holiday!
