Quirky, roomy and well stocked

The Watertower was one of the greatest experiences my wife and I have had staying anywhere in Scotland. The space is unique and very comfortable. There was an abundance of food and drink waiting for us when we arrived. You can bathe like royalty in the amazing cooper bathtub. The 360 degree views are breathtaking. There are a few steps to get up to the 4th floor, but I'm an out-of-shape 53 year old man who found the climb worth it each time. It was also lovely to be able to have our dog with us. She settled in quickly and felt right at home. We can't wait to return and highly recommend staying here if you're looking to explore some of the Scottish coast or do a little golfing. Thanks for everything, Dag. You are a fantastic host.

Nothing to report back here.

This is an exceptional property, offering an excellent base for staying in Montrose and visiting nearby towns and villages. You occupy the top two levels of the tower (Penthouse) and have roof access. The middle and ground levels are occupied by permanent tenants and the host himself, who is generally always on hand, but as this is a vast building, you feel fully isolated. You have 24hr separate access to the penthouse and car park. The penthouse is very well furnished and fitted with impressively large kitchen hob and pots and pans, everything you need for your own cooking, which I enjoyed every day of my stay. The fridge is well stocked, there is plenty of bed linen and towels. I enjoyed a whole week of fully self-sufficient residence. I made friends with the host who was happy to give me a lift to nearby locations, including a fishing village where I bought fresh fish. The host has lived in Scotland for half a century and has inexhaustible knowledge of local attractions, shops, people and places - and whiskey. He has a huge collection of whiskey, which is generously shared with the guests. The beach and everything else in Montrose was within comfortable walking distance. I have fallen in love with this part of Scotland and will come again.
