1 / 22Shank Of Omachie Cottage
Wellbank, Angus
A single storey detached cottage for two near Wellbank, with a sun room, open field views and a fully enclosed front garden, one dog welcome, a short drive from Broughty Ferry.
Shank of Omachie Cottage is a charming, single storey detached cottage a short stroll from the village of Wellbank, with open views across the fields and the Angus countryside all around. Two guests and one dog are welcome at this dog friendly retreat, and the fully enclosed front garden gives it a patch of that view to call its own.
You enter from the garden into the well equipped kitchen, with its breakfast bar, and through to the spacious, comfortable lounge and diner, where there are DVDs, board games and a large dining table for catching up after a day out. The sun room is a lovely spot to relax with a book, with direct access to the garden and ample storage for outdoor clothing and boots, so coming back in with a muddy dog is easy.
Out front, the fully enclosed garden offers a seating area for eating outdoors with a local ale or a glass of wine and views over beautiful countryside, while the dog keeps watch for the wildlife and birds that visit in abundance. Inside, a stylish shower room, a traditional king size bedroom and a pretty twin complete the cottage.
Forbes of Kingennie, within walking distance, offers trout fishing and nine holes of golf, and Crombie and Monikie Country Parks, ten minutes away by car, have peaceful woodland walks for the dog as well as kayaking, windsurfing and paddle boarding. Arbroath, Carnoustie and Broughty Ferry, with its castle and independent shops, are a short drive, Dundee, with its V&A, is close at hand, and the Angus Glens and the Cairngorms National Park are there for bigger days out.

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.
