Clifftop Cottage – A Seaside Sanctuary

About this listing

Tucked away in the historic clifftop village of Auchmithie, just a short drive from Arbroath, Clifftop Cottage is a beautiful two-bedroom retreat brimming with character and contemporary comfort.

Set just 30 metres from the steps leading down to the beach and with dramatic coastal paths right on your doorstep, this former fisherman’s cottage enjoys a spectacular setting. Perched near the cliff’s edge, the very best sea views are found just outside the front door.

Inside, the accommodation is conveniently laid out on a single level, with the highlight being the impressive open-plan living area and kitchen. The space boasts a semi-vaulted ceiling reaching full roof height, adorned with exposed beams and two expansive VELUX windows, ensuring ample natural light even on overcast days.

A freestanding wood-burning stove adds warmth and ambiance, while a generously sized dining table beneath one of the roof windows offers a delightful setting for meals. For entertainment, a high-end Samsung Frame TV adorns the wall.

The cottage features two bedrooms – one double and one twin – both offering partial sea views over neighboring rooftops. The shower room is equipped with a walk-in enclosure featuring a rainfall shower head, ideal for rinsing off after beach adventures, with underfloor heating providing comfort during colder months.

Inside, everything is thoughtfully laid out across a single level. At the heart of the cottage is an impressive open-plan living space, where a semi-vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and two large VELUX windows flood the room with natural light, even on grey days.

The modern kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for relaxed cooking, and the spacious dining area – set beneath a skylight – is the perfect spot for long, leisurely meals.

The cottage sleeps four guests across two inviting bedrooms: one double and one twin, both offering glimpses of the sea over the rooftops. The sleek shower room features a walk-in rainfall shower and underfloor heating, ideal for warming up after windswept walks on the beach.
