1 / 22Shank Of Omachie Cottage
Wellbank, Angus
A single storey cottage for two near Broughty Ferry with a sun room, a fully enclosed front garden and open field views, one dog welcome.
Shank of Omachie is a lot of name for a quiet single storey cottage, and the cottage wears it lightly. Sitting in open country at Wellbank, between Dundee and the Angus coast, it sleeps two with room for two more, welcomes one dog, and keeps a fully enclosed front garden looking over the fields. As dog friendly hideouts go, this one is about ease.
The sun room is the pick of it, boot storage at one end, garden access at the other, and field views for a dog that likes to monitor the local rabbits from a warm chair. A breakfast bar starts the day in the kitchen, the lounge diner takes the rest of it, and the king size bedroom leads through to a twin, an arrangement made for a couple with grandchildren in tow rather than two separate couples.
It suits slow travellers, a couple and a dog with no schedule: coffee in the sun room, a loop of the fields, the garden in the afternoon. The cottage is single storey throughout and set up with increased accessibility in mind, which for an old dog and stiff knees alike takes the friction out of the week.
Crombie and Monikie country parks run woodland circuits ten minutes away, Broughty Ferry does ice cream and a castle on the front, and Dundee with the V&A is close for a city day. The dog's vote goes to Tentsmuir, over the Tay: a forest that opens onto one of the great empty beaches of the east coast.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Shank Of Omachie Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Shank of Omachie Cottage welcomes one dog. It's set up well for them too — there's a fully enclosed front garden with open field views, a sun room with garden access and boot storage, and single storey living throughout, which makes life easier for older or less agile dogs.
Are dogs allowed at Shank Of Omachie Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the property directly to confirm availability for your dates. Given its set-up as a quiet rural retreat, it seems well suited to year-round visits with a dog in tow.
What should I know before visiting Shank Of Omachie Cottage with my dog?
The cottage accommodates one dog, so it's not the right fit if you're travelling with more than one. On the plus side, the enclosed front garden gives your dog somewhere safe to roam, and the sun room doubles nicely as a muddy-paws entry point with boot storage at one end. Nearby, Crombie and Monikie country parks are ten minutes away for woodland walks, and Tentsmuir — a forest backed by a vast east coast beach across the Tay — comes highly recommended for a longer day out.
