1 / 24East Drums Farmhouse
Brechin, Angus
A four bedroom farmhouse for eight near Brechin with two fires, a sunroom and an enclosed garden over two levels of lawn, two dogs welcome on the farm.
Arrival at East Drums is through the back door, into a cloak area built for wellies, leads and wet dogs, which tells you what kind of house this is. A four bedroom farmhouse on a working farm outside Brechin, it sleeps eight, takes two dogs, and manages the big family gathering with more polish than farmhouses usually bother with. Dog friendly and dinner party capable at the same time.
The formal dining room seats eight beside an open fire and slides open to the kitchen on double doors; across the hall the lounge keeps a wood burner, and the sunroom gathers the Angus views for whoever reaches it first, dog included. Upstairs are the four bedrooms, the master with an en suite and a sightline to Montrose, while the family bathroom below holds a full size Victorian tub for the deepest soak of the week.
It suits the whole clan at once: grandparents, children, two dogs and a table everyone genuinely fits around. The enclosed garden runs over two levels of lawn with a patio for the overflow, room enough for a flat out lap or three, and since this is a working farm there are animals about, so dogs with manners around stock get the most freedom.
The small city of Brechin sits 2 miles away, and the Montrose Basin is near, a tidal nature reserve that fills with tens of thousands of migratory geese and asks for dogs on leads and eyes on the sky. The Angus coast is an easy run east, the glens rise the other way.

Is East Drums Farmhouse dog friendly?
East Drums is genuinely built for dogs — the back door entrance comes with a dedicated cloak area designed for wellies, leads and wet dogs, which sets the tone nicely. Up to two dogs are welcome, with an enclosed two-level garden giving them plenty of room to stretch their legs.
Are dogs allowed at East Drums Farmhouse year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and nothing in the property description suggests otherwise. It's worth contacting the owner directly to confirm availability and any specific terms around your stay.
What should I know before visiting East Drums Farmhouse with my dog?
East Drums sits on a working farm, so there are animals about — dogs that are calm and reliable around livestock will get the most freedom during your stay. Nearby, the Montrose Basin nature reserve is a wonderful spot for a walk but does ask that dogs are kept on leads, so it's good to be prepared for that on days out.
