Once you have completed verification with TRUVI, your stay will be protected by Guest Guarantee and you’ll benefit from an accidental damage cover. Kinclune is a working farm, so there is livestock, wildlife and farm activity around the estate. For everyone’s safety, children should be supervised at all times. Please note that Kinclune is a working estate with other holiday properties. Unless you book the whole estate for exclusive use, other guests may be staying in the Osprey Annex, the cottages or other buildings during your visit. The whole of Kinclune Estate can also be booked for exclusive use, sleeping up to 28 across the house, farmhouse and cottages, or you can combine a mix of the properties to suit your group. Do get in touch if that would suit your plans. For larger gatherings and corporate-style meetings, the estate’s event space, the Arches, is available on an enquiry basis, and is suited to groups of around 20 or more. We also offer a range of optional extras, priced on application, including additional housekeeping, guided farm and nature walks with the Highland ponies, a pony picnic walk, a quad-bike farm tour, clay pigeon shooting, deer stalking, whisky and gin tastings, and packs of locally farmed beef, lamb and venison. All are subject to availability. All bedrooms and bathrooms are on the first floor, with a WC on the ground floor. The house is centrally heated with a smart thermostat, and internal wall and roof insulation and double-glazed sash and case windows were added in the renovation, so it stays warm and cosy. We can arrange catering, a private chef, and grocery delivery and unpacking before arrival. A starter supply of logs and firelighters is provided, with further baskets at £10 plus VAT. An EV charger is available, booked in advance, at a flat £35 per stay including VAT (we reserve the right to charge metered rates for extended or high usage).

An exquisite historic mansion set in 800 private acres in the foothills of the Angus Glens and Scottish Cairngorms. Seven unique bedrooms and six bathrooms sleeping 14, a grand drawing room with open fire, a spacious kitchen-dining room and a cosy snug games room. Large garden, summer house, firepit and outdoor dining. Child and dog-friendly, with miles of estate to explore. Ideal for special celebrations and family gatherings. The name Kinclune comes from the Gaelic for "head of the meadow", which tells you something about where the house sits: high, open and looking out across the Vale of Strathmore to views that guests consistently say are the thing they remember. One Christmas guest described the place as bringing peace to the soul. Sunrise and sunset here are worth setting an alarm for. Fully refurbished in 2023, the house manages to be both grand and genuinely comfortable, and it is arranged so that a large group can be together or find their own corner. Seven double bedrooms sleep 14, three of which can be made up as twins, and the two in the Osprey Annex give a couple or a young family their own self-contained wing. DRAWING ROOM (37m2). A beautiful, traditional room with a large open fire and seating for all 14, arranged around a curved bay window that frames the countryside. It carries real heritage charm and country-house grandeur, and it is where groups tend to end up in the evenings. Interlinked Sonos speakers run between here and the kitchen, so a playlist follows you through the sociable end of the house. KITCHEN-DINING ROOM (43.5m2). The heart of the house, and the room that does the most work. A large island makes cooking a group activity rather than a chore, and the table seats 14 or more for anything from a lazy breakfast to a formal dinner. It has already hosted milestone birthdays, an anniversary and a very happy hen party. The kitchen is fully equipped, with an American-style fridge freezer, dishwasher and washer dryer, and the kitchen, pantry and wood-panelled cloakroom are stocked with the everyday basics so you don’t need to bring everything with you. SNUG TV AND GAMES ROOM (21.4m2). A deep plush velvet corner sofa, a Smart TV and a wide selection of family board games, with blackout curtains for a proper cinema feel at any hour. Luxurious enough for the adults, and ideal for keeping children happily occupied while everyone else socialises. BEDROOMS. Every room is different, with countryside views from large windows. Beds and mattresses were all new in autumn 2023, and with bespoke linen bedheads, boutique-standard bedding and cotton towels, the sleeping side of the house feels closer to a small hotel than a holiday let. The Main Master Suite (45m2) has a superking bed, an ensuite shower room and a separate dressing room with a free-standing double-ended bath positioned for the view. The Turret Bedroom (15m2, king or two singles) takes in the turret itself, giving you a raised viewing nook complete with bird book and binoculars, with a walk-in shower room a step across the hall. The Tower Bedroom (21.3m2, superking or twins) is the largest, with a bay window set into the tower feature and a bathroom opposite holding a roll-top claw-footed bath and a large walk-in shower. Tawny (15m2, double), named for the owls you’ll hear in the trees at night, has an original fireplace and bespoke furniture, and shares the family bathroom with Beech (10.4m2, double), a smaller but perfectly formed room looking into the beech trees. In the Osprey Annex, which occupies the rear of the house over two floors and was historically the servants’ quarters, the Annex Master (25.2m2) has a king bed and ensuite shower room, and the second Annex bedroom (15.7m2, king or two singles) shares that ensuite. The Annex has its own kitchen-living room with a woodburning stove, and its design is themed around the two pairs of osprey that nest at the north-east corner of the estate. OUTSIDE. A large enclosed garden with a traditional summer house on the lawn with integrated seating for the whole group, separate tables and chairs for outdoor dining, and a Kadai firebowl that doubles as firepit and barbecue. Guests have exclusive use of the whole house and Annex, including the garden, parking and outdoor spaces. There is plenty to explore on the wider estate, including Jack’s Bothy (a traditional stone shepherd’s hut), the beaver pond, Barons Hill woods and a safe farm track running the length of the 800 acres. Your welcome pack explains how to explore the estate, find the wildlife and meet the Highland ponies. A car is essential here. Kinclune is 15 minutes from the A90 dual carriageway, 40 minutes from Dundee, 50 minutes from Perth and 95 minutes from Edinburgh. The nearest railway station is Dundee (around 40 minutes), and the closest airports are Dundee, Aberdeen and Edinburgh.

A tranquil countryside getaway in the self-contained annex of a historic baronial mansion, on an 800-acre private organic estate in the Angus Glens. Set over two floors, with two beautifully appointed bedrooms and a cosy kitchen-sitting room with woodburning stove. Named for the ospreys nesting on the estate, with Highland ponies, red squirrels and estate walks from the door. Child and dog-friendly. The Annex has a history of its own. It occupies the rear section of Kinclune House over two floors and was originally the servants’ quarters, renovated in 2023 into a generously proportioned, fully self-contained retreat with its own entrance. Its design is themed around the two pairs of osprey that nest at the north-east corner of the estate, which you can watch from April to September along with red kite, roe deer, red squirrels and a range of Red List protected farmland birds. What makes it work is the combination of independence and setting: you have your own front door and your own woodburning stove, but you also have 800 acres of award-winning, nature-friendly organic farm on the doorstep, with native cattle, sheep and Highland ponies. KITCHEN-LIVING ROOM (ground floor). A fully equipped kitchen with a comfortable sitting area, two sofas, a Smart TV, a dining table and a woodburning stove. It is the sort of room where an evening disappears quite happily. BEDROOMS (first floor). The Annex Master (25.2m2) has a sumptuous king bed and an ensuite shower room. The second bedroom (15.7m2) is large and comfortable, well suited to children or teens, and can be set up as a king or two small singles depending on your group. OUTSIDE. Kinclune House has a large enclosed garden with a traditional pergola and integrated seating, tables and chairs for outdoor dining, a firepit and a barbecue. Guests have exclusive use of the Annex. Please note it is the rear portion of Kinclune House, which is also let as a holiday home and may be occupied separately. To take both together for full exclusive use, please see our Kinclune House & Annex listing. A car is essential. Kinclune is 15 minutes from the A90, 40 minutes from Dundee, 50 minutes from Perth and 95 minutes from Edinburgh. The nearest railway station is Dundee (around 40 minutes), and the closest airports are Dundee, Aberdeen and Edinburgh. We partner with TRUVI to carry out secure guest ID verification, helping to ensure a safe and trusted stay for all parties. Once you have completed verification with TRUVI, your stay will be protected by Guest Guarantee and you’ll benefit from an accidental damage cover. Kinclune is a working farm, so there is livestock, wildlife and farm activity around the estate. For everyone’s safety, children should be supervised at all times. Because the only shower room sits within the Annex Master and is reached through it, the Annex works best for a family of up to two adults and two children, rather than two separate couples or adults. Please note that Kinclune is a working estate with other holiday properties. Unless you book the whole estate for exclusive use, other guests may be staying in Kinclune House, the cottages or other buildings during your visit. The whole of Kinclune Estate can also be booked for exclusive use, sleeping up to 28 across the house, farmhouse and cottages, or you can combine a mix of the properties to suit your group. Do get in touch if that would suit your plans. The Annex cannot be accessed from within Kinclune House, for fire safety reasons, and is entered separately. The bedrooms and shower room are reached by a steep staircase with stair gates fitted top and bottom. The Annex is centrally heated, with internal wall insulation where the listed building allows and double-glazed sash and case windows, so it stays warm and cosy. A starter supply of logs and firelighters is provided for the woodburning stove, with further baskets at £10 plus VAT. An EV charger is available, booked in advance, at a flat £35 per stay including VAT (we reserve the right to charge metered rates for extended or high usage).

A cosy, well-proportioned family home with period features, a woodburning stove and countryside views from every window, it sits in a tranquil rural setting with direct access to the estate paths, so the walks begin at the garden gate. With rugged hills, serene lochs, ancient woodland and a great deal of wildlife around it, this is a house for slowing down in.
