Balmashanner Farmhouse

Balmashanner Farmhouse places you in a peaceful slice of the Angus countryside, just outside Forfar, where rolling fields and wide skies set the tone for a slower, more grounded kind of break.

It’s well suited to families or a group of friends who want space, comfort and a proper rural setting without feeling cut off from civilisation.

Inside, the house is laid out with practicality in mind.

There are three generous bedrooms: a king-size with its own en-suite featuring both a bath and a walk-in shower, another king-size room, and a twin.

A smart family shower room serves the rest of the household, making mornings far less chaotic.

The kitchen/diner is very much the heart of the home, equipped with a range cooker and centred around a woodburning stove, ideal for putting together hearty meals and sitting around together without any rush.

After a day out, the sitting room offers a relaxed retreat, helped along by a second woodburner that gives the place a lived-in, end-of-the-day warmth.

The large garden is a real bonus, giving children room to run around while the grown-ups enjoy a quiet drink or plan the next outing.

Off-road parking keeps things simple from the moment you arrive.

Forfar itself is within easy reach, offering everything from independent cafés to handy shops, plus the historic Forfar Loch and its walking routes.

The wider Angus countryside is on your doorstep too, with farmland trails, hill walks and centuries-old landmarks waiting to be explored.

Kirriemuir, easily reached by car, brings character in spades with its red sandstone buildings and connections to JM Barrie.

If you’re after something livelier, Dundee isn’t far and gives you museums, galleries and sweeping views along the waterfront.

With its calm setting and straightforward comforts, Balmashanner Farmhouse gives you a welcoming base for discovering a quiet but deeply rewarding corner of Scotland.
