Clifftop Cottage – Your Gorgeous Cottage in Auchmithie

About this listing

Tucked away in the historic clifftop village of Auchmithie, just a short drive from Arbroath, Clifftop Cottage is a beautifully renovated 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—step out and you’ll see why guests fall in love with this unique location.

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. A freestanding wood-burning stove adds cosy warmth, while a Samsung Frame TV offers stylish, high-quality entertainment.

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.

Clifftop Cottage is dog-friendly and welcomes well-behaved four-legged guests, with bowls provided. While the property doesn’t have a private garden, a shared courtyard offers a quiet space to enjoy the fresh sea air, and nearby benches and picnic tables provide scenic spots to pause with a coffee or a sunset drink.

Recently refurbished throughout, Clifftop Cottage blends coastal tradition with modern living, making it the perfect base for exploring this spectacular stretch of the Angus coast.
